These features are exclusive to Google Pixel mobile devices (the only true Android ones).

    Anonymous, 22 Mar 2024Which game is limited by android? FPS limits are developer choice, android itself doesn't do the limiting.

    So depending on how the game was made and the decisions made, it may/may not support unlimited frames.

    Considering the fact some games that were released many years ago (as far back as 2013), before phones capable of more than 60Hz became mainstream...run at uncapped frames.

    Talking about games like Beans Quest 1 & 2, NFS most wanted mobile, Pocket Rally, Real racing 3 e.t.c

      Why is it that once I buy a Moto phone which stops at Android 14, Android itself starts to become interesting and I can't have it.

        Sounds like disabling V-Sync to me.

                  Anonymous, 23 Mar 2024Why did a hard cap exist in the first place? Good riddance... moreApple paid Genshin devs lots of money so IOS version has native controller support and no 60fps lock. Android and PC users needed third party solutions for fps lock while Android users risk ban using third party controller support.

                    Why did a hard cap exist in the first place? Good riddance. Also, why only games? How do they even tell?

                      I hope this is going to allow people to also stop at 120 hz instead of uncapping the frame rate. But I think that's automatically going to happen, phones have had VRR for a while I think so they won't experience the struggles of tearing and stuff hopefully.

                      I think multiplayer games *might* have a problem with someone using dev tools to get higher frames than the ones supplied in game but that's the devs' fault. I mean what's wrong with giving the option for max settings and max fps in COD Mobile for example? Stupid stuff like that makes this update all the more useful and especially useful for phones like some BBK phones which couldn't do HRR. An absolute W.

                        AnonD-1147675, 22 Mar 2024If this makes Genshin run at my Zenfone's 120hz, I... moreIt won't. As of right now, you can barely get consistent 60fps with all the settings on high in genshin. You'll probably get 70-80ish fps for 5 mins before the soc starts thermal throttling

                          Anonymous, 22 Mar 2024Not even on ipad pro M2 pro it can go 120fps. with low graphical settings there's no reason it wouldn't run at 120fps. it's definitely doable

                              They really needed to do this. There were games that played at a lower fps unless I deactivate Smooth Display

                                  This feature should not be hidden inside devloper mode, it should be present in gaming mode and be should be unlimited fps by default.

                                    Wow now that's pretty damn poggers, now if only they made this the default setting for Android OOTB
