Huawei and UL have provided statements regarding the recent scuffle of benchmark tampering that lead to a few Huawei devices to be removed from 3D Mark. Earlier reports suggest that Huawei's devices, most notably the P20, P20 Pro, Nova 3, and Honor Play tampered with 3D Mark benchmark results. The tampering was discovered when UL, the creators of 3D Mark, privately tested the aforementioned phones on a private version of the benchmarking tool. According to UL, the increased results was due to Huawei devices prompting a hidden "Performance Mode" when running the benchmark. Huawei has also agreed on removing affected devices from the benchmark until they grant performance mode access to all users.
