Also we were already getting 60 fps in God of war, Tekken, Gran Turismo with Open GL rendering, before Vulkan support lol.
I don't even know why you wrote this lie, Mr. Unregistered user.

        Unreal engine support vulkan as well for mobile if I remember correctly. So game like pubg could use it. No, it SHOULD use it. I don't think it's because many device don't support vulkan. I've seen too many people whining all over the web, saying vulkan is "hard" and they don't want to learn it. Seriously it's like people refusing to learn how to use computer and keep using their typewriter instead.

            raonaveen, 10 Apr 2018How many games support vulkan after 2 years.Lots do actually. Unity had Vulkan support back in 2016. Unreal added support at the beginning of 2017. So today it's just a matter of toggling a switch setting. It's that easy.

Android OS has something better to offer with not much of a restriction compared to other OS. Just look for phones not related to Android Smartphones.

                        Android needs to rest in piece. It's a junk of an OS.. Filthy Google. I need something that's de-googlized. I know I'm typing this on Gboard and they all know me. Having the same OS kills competition. Every OEM should have their own software.

I always change my phones every 2 years for a flagship to be updated. This time around i was smart, i bought a oneplus 5T despite being interested in the LG G6.
                                    Either way, i went for the cheapest flagship and for my first oneplus device i'm really satisfied.
                                    And I'm already on Oreo 8.1 and we will get Android P already confirmed.

                                      P.s. though I'm nit mentioned here. I helped a little in setting one of the tweaks in 1.1

                                        Android P will probably be at < 0.3% market share at best at the end of the year.
