How was your experience with Android 10's Game Driver? (Developer Options)
I've always been a huge Vulkan fan in PC noscripts, and recently got a dual sim Nokia 9 Pureview for ~$400, which happens to be an Android One device
I noticed the Game Driver setting in Developer Options, and ignored it for a while, until I installed GTA San Andreas. Apparently this previously abandoned game got an update last year regarding compatibility and crashes on newer devices.
The performance was terrible! Constant stuttering, low fps, no matter what settings I use (Snapdragon 845). So I...

What's your opinion about Exynos and Snapdragon versions of Galaxy S or Note series?
Which version do you consider better? I looked it up on the Internet to find out that generaly Snapdragon versions are better and that applies to several generation, e.g. S8, S9, S10 - and even S20 now. Well, I sometimes watch MrWhoseTheBoss videos although I find them sketchy most of the times, but there is a new video just about this topic:
