The arrival of a new version of the operating system is always an important step for all mobiles, although much more when it comes to the Google Pixel. The firm itself adds extra options to its mobiles, as well as a plus that is reflected in the result of photography and performance, although this time the Android 11 performance tests leave us surprises.
This time the change seems to have not been to improve in all aspects, we could previously see the changes when updating from Android 10 to Android 11 but we had not yet seen what this change means in terms of performance and speed . The specialized medium HotHardware has been in charge of showing us in images the differences that we obtain in 3DMark, GFXBench, Geekbench and Futuremark tests.
Dry braking for the Google Pixel
To carry out these tests, all the details have been taken into account, thus allowing us to obtain a real result of what users subsequently obtain on a day-to-day basis. With the intention of achieving this, the Google Pixel 4a and Google Pixel 4 XL mobiles in which the tests were carried out have been completely restored, when they were on Android 10, as after having made the jump to Android 11.
All things being equal, we have been able to verify that the negative effects of Android 11 on the Google Pixel 4 XL is up to 18% in the 3D and graphic results. In the case of the Google Pixel 4a, the fall is even worse , as we see how the results fall by up to 33%. In gaming performance the results were more even, but still they still represent worse results in Android 11 compared to Android 10.
CPU performance as Geekbench shows us is worse on both Google Pixel models , with a drop of up to 14%. In the tests of tasks that are more similar to those that users do, such as playing video, opening and closing applications or using native Google apps, we found 10% less in the overall score.
Why Android 11 performs worse on Google Pixels
The medium itself has contacted Google and Snapdragon to ask for explanations about the performance of the devices, the processor and the Android 11 version , but for now there are no answers. This could not be a fault and rather it would be an adaptation of the limits through the software of the models.
This could be due to the use of artificial intelligence, causing that the speed of the applications, the performance in games and other sections do not really show us these failures in the first person, but when doing this type of tests. We will have to wait to find out if users are able to detect that their mobiles are slower.
