OnePlus says recent smartphone SoCs are overkill for many apps

OnePlus found itself embroiled in a(nother) controversy last week, which had to do with its software skin, OxygenOS, throttling most popular apps in day-to-day use on the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro. We've explained what happened in detail in this post that's about the company's initial response to those claims. Today OnePlus is back with what it thinks is a better, more in-depth explanation of why it was doing what it was caught doing.

Report: Worldwide PC market rises 13% in Q2 2021, Lenovo and HP take the top two spots
