Samsung drew criticism for inflating the benchmark scores of Exynos devices earlier in the year, but the company appears undaunted; it’s reportedly boosting test numbers for other hardware as well. Ars Technica has discovered that the Snapdragon 800-based Galaxy Note 3 (and possibly the new Note 10.1) includes code that runs all CPU cores at full speed during certain benchmarks. The tweak gives the smartphone a minimum 20 percent higher score in any affected app, or enough to claim an artificially large advantage over an LG G2 using a similar chip. There may also be a graphics boost, Ars says. We’ve asked Samsung for its take on the findings. Whether or not the company responds, we don’t envy its position — it’s hard to form an alliance devoted to accurate mobile benchmarking when you’re accused of doctoring results.

Somewhere out there, someone is probably waiting for a more affordable LG Optimus G Pro, and if the LG G Pro Lite Dual turns out to be real, then their wish might soon be granted. The phone will reportedly boast dual-SIM support and retain the size of its predecessor’s 5.5-inch display, but it’ll have a 960 x 540 pixel resolution instead of full HD. It’ll understandably be equipped with other lesser specs, including an unspecified 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, a 3,140mAh battery, an 8-megapixel rear camera and 8GB of internal storage that’s supplemented with a microSD card slot. According to the Russian website that first reported the leak, the Android 4.1.2 phone will be available in the Eurasian country in October for $400 unlocked, which just happens to be cheaper than the Galaxy Mega. Obviously, you’ll have to shell out for the more expensive Optimus G Pro if you want better specs, but at least this one comes with a stylus.
