    Is it working well for you? Causing trouble? Is it supported on many phones?

    There is surprisingly little to read about it online, either from Google or Unity.

    That's a great question - I'd love to hear feedback from developers too.

    @adbourdages have you tried enabling it yourself? Does your game work well for you?

    Sustained performance mode was introduced in Android 7.0 and is supported by all devices with that OS or later.

    BTW I tried a Galaxy S7 (Exynos) and it showed very decent results with sustained mode enabled - not much worse than in "normal" power mode.

    Hello,

    I know I'm 2 years late, but I think every feedback could be useful.

    I suggest NOT to use Sustained Performance Mode when building for VR devices , where even a 10-15 FPS drop can be annoying. In my tests, the average framerate was about 15-20 FPS lower than the maximum supported by the headsets.

    Tested on Lenovo Mirage Solo (FPS: max = 60, reduced = 42) and Oculus Quest (FPS: max = 72 FPS, reduced = 55).
