It&#8217;s not clear if the phone was doing this from the get-go or if this is a change brought in with one of the updates since launch. <\/p>\n<p>Also unknown right now is whether the Mi 11 Pro, Mi 11 Ultra and Mi 11i\/Mi 11X Pro exhibit the same behavior (they are also powered by the Snapdragon 888). Our own benchmarks show nearly identical single-core performance for the 11, 11i and 11 Ultra, so it&#8217;s possible. These are all different phones, with different cooling options, so Primate Labs will have to look into it. <\/p>\n<p>Recently, Samsung got in hot water for gaming the results in a similar way on the Galaxy S22 series. Samsung apologized, and began rolling out an update to allow users to turn off the throttle. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article-source\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jfpoole\/status\/1508169377505583109\">Source<\/a> | <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/xiaomi-throttling-benchmarks-3145136\/\">Via<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"source-image\">https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/22\/03\/xiaomi-mi-11-throttling\/-952x498w6\/gsmarena_000.jpg<\/div>\n<div class=\"source-link\">https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/the_xiaomi_mi_11_may_also_be_throttling_certain_apps-news-53739.php?rand=119<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Xiaomi Mi 11 may also be throttling certain apps Performance throttling based on app name may be more prevalent than we know &#8211; John Poole (co-founder of Primate Labs, maker of Geekbench) discovered that the Xiaomi Mi 11 scores noticeably lower with a tweaked version of the benchmark.
