TL;DR

  • Google has started rolling out a new GPU driver for the Pixel 10 series with Android 16 QPR3 Beta 1.
  • The update aligns with Imagination’s August driver release and brings Android 16 and Vulkan 1.4 support.
  • While real-world performance gains remain unconfirmed, the update should reach stable builds in a future Pixel Drop

        I’m also fond of Hungry Cat Picross and LogicWiz Sudoku, but I’m sure there are other good apps for these games.

          All of them (some of which I like and played) are old or look old.

          Nothing wrong with looking old, especially when we talk about indie games, but that’s not the peak android gaming experience I was expecting years ago.

            That makes sense because I like pixel art. If you’re into polygons you might want to check out:

            • Diablo Immortal
            • Genshin Impact
            • Honkai Star Rail
            • Pascal’s Wager
            • Black Desert Mobile
            • Grid Autosport
            • XCOM 2
            • Delta Force

            And soon Warframe. You can pre-register to be notified when it releases.

              I would suggest removing genshin impact from the list and insert Wuthering Waves instead. It’s a copycat that improves on every aspect if GI, while also being somewhat better game in general:

              • less grid from devs, more primogems for gacha
              • fight mechanics improved, they include parry and perfect dodge
              • better graphics and physics, even on similar device (due to using UE5, instead of Unity)
              • gamepad support on all devices
              • CUTSCENES CAN BE SKIPPED

              Honestly, considering both games have shitty story telling and shitty story that no one cares about in general, just the last point should make Wuwa superior. The fact that genshin impact devs aren’t adding dialog/cutscenes skip button, while providing shittiest “stories” written by 5 years old, for every minor quest in the game — infuriating me.
