TestBird is a Chinese startup that has its major focus analyze the mobile gaming market. We know that growth in new titles for smartphones and tablets is not no secret. However, no one had such a bold initiative to test 13,000 games in more than 2000 different devices with Android system. That amounts to encompass something close to 90% of the possible scenarios within the little robot ecosystem. And what can be determined with this? More than 870,000 compatibility problems were detected, which shows that the vast hardware diversity can also be a weakness for the Google system.
The report also shows important data such as the fact that the cocos2d-X and Unity3D graphics engines are used in 3/4 of all games released for Android. In addition, 90% of smartphones used mobile gambling have hardware Qualcomm and MediaTek. More than half has resolution less than HD (720p) to the screen, and bring 1 GB or more of RAM. Finally, it is reported that 90% of smartphones have 4.1 or higher Android version. However, the most curious part is that phones from Samsung and Xiaomi were those with fewer games compatibility problem, while other companies have twice the problem.
“With Android 5.0 Google has changed Android’s virtual machine by ART, which expanded the compatibility issue with games.”
The report shows that Android Lollipop displays twice compatibility glitches with games compared to Android KitKat, but when analyzed models with less than 1GB of RAM compatibility problem comes to increase to up to 60 % in both systems. This shows that for those looking to play, it is good to avoid models come with only 512MB of RAM. Such problems are related to unexpected closures (40% of cases), application freeze (15% of cases), failure to perform the app (12% of cases).
Much of the article focuses on market Chinese and their behavior when it comes to the gaming scene on mobile devices.
