How many "Tris" or "Verts" is it too much for a phoneplatform?

Hello,

I'm currently making an android game,
and my game has about 11.4k Tries, and 17.8k Verts per scene,
It's lagging a bit, is it because of too high poly models or what?

Thanks,

Mario

 

It is impossible to tell you what is wrong. The used shaders have a huge impact as well, just like the usage of physics, audio and scripts. The only way to find the cause of it is to use the profiler or something comparable.

 

also take a look at your drawcalls. on mobile with basic shaders you should not exceed 30 drawcalls based on my experience

 

30 draw calls is from years ago; modern devices can typically do much more than that. Probably fill rate (transparent pixels) is more important to look at than polygons.

I've had scenes with 350 draw calls, and 350,000 triangles that work fine on Android tablets (not my game was helping a friend out) .
Mine tend to have 100 or less draw calls, 40,000 or less triangles (according to unity stats window). As that seems to be what iPhone 4 can handle Max, which is now my minimum targeted device.
