Android Developer Preview 2 to let all games break the 60fps threshold
The second developer preview of Android 15 is out and enthusiasts are busy scanning the code for new features.
The latest is a toggle to disable the default frame rate for games, which will disable the 60Hz limit, essentially unlocking their peak performance.
Android mostly limits games to 60fps and developers need to enable higher framerates device by device. With this universal toggle, you'll be able to unlock the potential for higher frame rates.
The setting is found in Developer options (which you need to unlock by tapping multiple times on the Build number in your phone's software.
It's built for developers to try and test their games at higher frame rates, but like so many other settings in Developer options, power users will be able to take advantage as well.

I agree with the first part, but unlimited fps by default would lead to poor battery life.

Finally, an actually useful feature Android is introducing! Last time we got something good was the notification confirmation in Android 13. Android 11, 12, and 14 were all purely regressions and/or gimmicks.

They not designed to run higher, low end chipsets can barely sustain 60fps anyway.
