Horribly slow fps on galaxy s8

As stupid as it might sound, we are getting incrementally worse performance for our GearVR app on Samsung Galaxy devices. s6 performs the best at ~60fps, s7 at ~57-60 and s8 at ~25-30. We've tried unity versions 5.6.0f3 and 5.5.1f1 with similar results. We have also tried Oculus Utilities v1.13.0 and v1.14.0. Has anyone else faced similar issues?

The profiler shows substantially high amount of time for Camera.Render for s8(~12ms) than s7(~3-4fps).

5.5.4p1 is released today, which should contain the fix

Patch 5.4.5p4 relased with the fix.


To @stevehinan  , are you sure it is the same problem?  S8 much slower than S7?

After updating to 5.6.1p3 (from 5.6.1p1) I am noticing much longer game load times. From 4secs to 30secs. Anyone else seeing this?

After doing the update - S8 seems better, but not perfect in terms of matching previous versions of the S series.  Still, way better and actually in a releasable state.

That's strange,  the fix shouldn't cause longer loading time,  if you can provide a repro project, we can investigate into it.

Hi JianZ,

Thanks for your reply.
A new thread has been created for my issue called:   'Unity 5.6.1 - Gear VR: Choppy movements in an almost empty scene'
I will use that thread to post future details.

Thanks,
Steve Hinan

Check your build size after updating. Unity 5.6 has different default texture compression than previous versions so probably your textures take more memory space.

Hi JianZ. I can confirm that Unity 5.4.5p4 resolves issue with perfomance on Snapdragon devices (in my case S7). It isn't so good like on Exynos but definitly better than before (5.4.5f1). Unfortunately I'm considerating update to 5.6.3 (because of new NetworkTransport implementation) but after tests I supposed that perfomance problem is not resolved in that version.

Do you (or anyone else here) have any information about it or can confirm problems with 5.6? @stevehinan ?

Best, Cywil
