TLDR
Android Authority reports that gaming issues on the Pixel 11 series may be linked to ANGLE, which it says was the default OpenGL ES implementation on those devices at least as of the September 2026 update. In its testing, the outlet says ANGLE produced significant microstutters and frame-time spikes in some games. It also reports that COD Mobile and Asphalt Legends did not show the same level of jank or microstuttering as Genshin Impact when using ANGLE. Android Authority adds that switching to the native rendering option can reduce large frame-time spikes in some titles, and notes the issue could still be addressed in a future driver update.
