I think that the over clocking cheat is a bit different if they are honest about and say the phone, when overclocked, are actually capable of this. The DSLR image is not possible in any case.
Unless the goal of cheating the benchmark was to target user's who overclock their phones (honestly, who does this?, like %0.0001?), then I would still call it dishonest.
Shouldn't benchmarks reflect what your delivering to consumers?
Honest related question. Do car manufacturers do this with their car's speed tests? I know you can squeeze another 50+ HP out of a VW Golf for example with a chip and a higher octane fuel, but AFAICT the specs you see on their site and at the dealer don't show this extra HP. (I realize VW is a bad example of a company that doesn't cheat their books!).
