Android slower than other platforms

Hello,

I have a game running on Pc/Mac, and then iOS, and android.

The game performs much slower on Android (Samsuns S8 for instance) than on iOS (iPad 2016, iPhone XR).

This is observable when showing a subview, loading a huge grid of loaded prefab

Is there any reason/settings that should be considered in any project ?
The code is the same for all platforms, 64-bits

 

Unfortunately, Android has always been a red-headed stepchild to Unity. Not to mention, the different hardware configurations also make it more difficult to optimize for. There was a good blog post recently about optimization though: https://blogs.unity3d.com/2021/03/11/tackling-profiling-for-mobile-games-with-unity-and-arm/

 

Thanks for the link, I have a look !

By the way, as the main lag comes from the instantiation of the same prefab thousands of time to make the hex map fo the game, do you know an article tackling with this ?

 

No but if you're doing it ahead of time as like an object pool, you might be able to cleverly hide it like in an intro scene. You might also want to consider reducing the number of instances, to that which is on screen.
