Gear VR apps run much slower on Samsung S7 than on S6

Unity Engine

Hi there,

we’ve been struggling and trying everything. Our Unity Gear VR app runs much slower on the S7 than on the S6. Where we have 60 fps on the S6, we barely get to 30 fps on the S7, wich is totally weird.

We tried Unity 5.3 and 5.4, latest Oculus Utilities and “native” VR, even on Unity 4.7 the S6 is faster than the S7.

Does anybody know what we might be missing here?

Thank you so much!

I’m seeing the exact same thing. Nice steady 60fps on the s6 and dropping on the s7. I have a complex particle system with some transparency which the S7 seems to have a particularly hard time with.
