I am currently considering multiple systems for the android version testing of my project, currently in early planning.
The Archos Gamepad is closer to my budget than the nVidia Shield, which will likely revert to it’s previous price before i can accquire it. It features a Mali 400 MP GPU. Will that suffice, or is the Tegra 4 the lowest you can go?
The official docs (Android Support for Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.1 Documentation) say that the Mali 400 should be supported at least LDR. Having said that, Android devices are all very different (Screen sizes, CPU, RAM, etc), so you’ll likely get different results with two devices having the same GPU. Epic mentions here - [Android] Installed apk - black screen; Editor Launch - works - Mobile - Epic Developer Community Forums - that only devices listed have been tested by them and cannot make any guarantees on performance of others.
