Google introduced a new measure for Android phones with its Android 12 operating system. The new measure, dubbed as Performance class indicates to app developers how good the phone is, performance-wise.
Previously, game and app developers had to to guessing on whether the phone user is using, is capable of running games in full detail or to have enough oomph for certain heavy-weight app features.
With the introduction of Performance class inside Android itself, app developers can simply check from the operating system if the current phone is deemed powerful enough.
Currently, the highest possible classification is Performance Class 12. So, a game developer might only allow highest graphic details available only to phones that are classified as Performance class 12 phones.
Some of the Performance class 12 criteria: at least 6GB of RAM memory at least 12 megapixel rear camera rear camera must be able to record 4K video @ 30fps framerate device must be initialize a video codec in less than 50ms, even when under heavy load when playing FullHD video, device must drop less than 1 frame every 10 seconds of playback video must have at least 400dpi pixel density on display at least FullHD display must have minimum of 4MP selfie camera, with FullHD @ 30fps recording capability
Just meeting the requirements on paper is not enough, the device must also pass the certification process in order to gain the classification.
List of Performance Class 12 phones Currently, these phones are certified for the Performance Class 12: Google Pixel 6 Google Pixel 6 Pro OnePlus 10 Pro OPPO Find X3 Pro realme GT 2 Pro Vivo X60 Pro+ Vivo X70 Pro+ Xiaomi 12 Xiaomi 12 Pro
Notably absent from the list are Samsung's high-end phones, such as Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and company's foldable phones. Also, no Motorola phones in the list, at all.
Both manufacturers have phones that spec-wise should qualify, but companies haven't certified their phones. Thus, features like Snapchat's latest customizations wont work on those phones, as they rely on Performance Class 12 certification in order to work.Permalink | Comments https://www.afterdawn.com/news/article.cfm/2022/03/26/list-of-android-performance-class-12-phones
