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 users who can share their experience?

The article is referring to Android 16 Beta. Most people will be on Android 15 or older.

I'm on Graphene, so Stable channel is 15 and I am not brave enough for Beta on my everyday driver.

Only stuff that I noticed after the latest update on my pixel 7 is that notification sounds feel a bit with less bass than before. And possibly the haptics a bit different. But this is after reading someone complaining about that, so it might be a placebo effect on my mind

The march update definetly helped with system ui animations, the recent apps menu would stutter on every opening, whereas now it's always smooth.

Also ruined haptics.
