Earlier this fall, Google released the final version of the Android 11 operating system for smartphones. Android 11 became the first to be available for the company’s own Pixel phones as well as selected models from other manufacturers.

HotHardware has noticed in its own tests that the new Android 11 will slow down at least Google’s Pixel 4 series smartphones in certain tasks. The difference is most evident in the graphics performance of the Pixel 4a, but there are also differences in Pixel 4 and they are almost invariably negative for Android 11.

In 3DMark Sling Shot Extreme, GFXBench, and Geenekch, the results are invariably negative for both Pixel 4 and Pixel 4a, while both PCMark for Android – Work 2.0 results found exceptionally positive partial results from the otherwise negative development.

In 3DMark, the overall result of Pixel 4 fell by almost 9 and the graphics score by just over 5%, but in the physics test on Android 10 the jacket came as much as , 31%. With Pixel 4a, the order of magnitude of the results was reversed: in total points the new Android came over 35 and in graphics points almost 40% , when the physics points decreased by just over 2%.

In GFXBench’s T-Rex and Manhattan tests, Pixel 4’s score dropped by about 1% on Android , but Pixel 4a’s results fell more than 27 and almost 32% in Manhattan. In Geenekch, which focuses on processor performance, Pixel 4’s single and multicore scores fell by about 6 and 14% as Pixel 4a’s scores came down by just over 3%. and you need 7%.

The PCMark tests were minor, as noted, but as noted, one positive exception was found for each. Pixel 4’s Video Editing scores rose by less than 2% and Pixel 4a’s by less than half a percent, in addition to which 4a’s Photo Editing scores rose by about 1.5%. Otherwise, the figures were also negative in PCMark. Pixel 4 scores in Photo Editing, Writing, Work 2.0 and Web Browsing decreased by
