Your Pixel phone should perform better in GPU benchmarks after updating to the most recent Android release. Here's why.

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.

    Are you in a warm country? My Pixel 7 never overheats. It’s gotten warm before, sure, but never overheated.
