TL;DR
- Multiple Pixel phone users are reporting significant boosts in Geekbench GPU scores after updating to the Android 16 beta.
- Android Authority can confirm that Pixel phones are performing better in this benchmark since launch, but that this is also the case on the most recent Android 15 stable release.
- The reason for this performance increase hasn’t been confirmed but likely has to do with recent GPU driver updates.
Pixel 4a, still waiting…
Pixel 4a didn’t get this update because It is out of software support.
Haha yes, I was making a joke, it’s still my main phone tho.
Yeah, Pixel 4A only gets that one update that mutually breaks the battery management.
Yeah they’re not doing it for 4a, Google might offer you a voucher to replace your phone.
I like the 4a a lot, so I am not gonna replace it. It works like a charm, still!
Yeah I used to have one, I only replaced it when the battery started going. I loved that phone, it was solid yet so light! I have a 6a now which is great but so much heavier than the 4a.
