Because updates bring new features, it is a daily routine for smartphones, but it seems to be relatively rare that “the more updates, the faster” the GPU running score increases by up to 50%! This month’s Android security update caught the attention of Pixel 5 users with a simple sentence: “Optimizing the performance of apps and games that require high-intensity display” and tried to use 3DMark to run scores. It was okay if they didn’t run, but after running, they discovered that there was a 30% to 50% improvement in scores… It’s really ridiculous (meaning to praise). Continue reading the report that Pixel 5 performance scores have improved significantly due to the Android April security update.
Pixel 5 performance scores improved significantly after Android April security update
Although there are many examples of mobile phone performance improving due to subsequent updates, the impression is that it is either a correction due to an obvious performance improvement, otherwise it is at most due to the efficiency improvement of the system’s large version architecture update – and usually it is not too noticeable. This time, Google’s regular monthly Android updates for the Pixel series of phones came in April. Some people saw that the list included performance update items for the Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a (5G), which also use Qualcomm S765G SoC.
Mentioned “Performance optimizations for certain graphics-intensive apps & games for high-intensity display requirements”, the results after the update turned out to be “super. Feeling” and it was a 30%~50% improvement in running scores (like it).
Turns out the Pixel 5 is now getting way better results in 3DMark. Like in 30-50 percent better compared to a P5 w March patch level. Even the results in general benchmarks like PCMark Work are a bit better (even though in this case really only just a bit). 2/ pic.twitter.com/58Ze5qFE6d

Andreas Proschofsky posted on Twitter that his Pixel 5 had updated the 3DMark benchmark results of the April security update and found that Google’s update to optimize the GPU graphics performance of the S765G SoC has an unimaginable evolutionary performance. For example, the running result in Wild Life was 1661.Compared to our previous testsThe performance, which is still on the verge of breaking 1,000 points, can be said to have made considerable progress.
His test also included other projects, you can also refer to it. I wonder if other phones using this SoC will have the opportunity to get similar improvements due to Android updates in the future?
This update also includes image quality enhancements for third-party cameras; for Pixel 4 and above models, the freeze on the startup screen has been corrected. Improvements have been made to improve the disconnection situation when activating VPN on Pixel 3 and above models and the disappearance of the system desktop grid. Having said all this, I believe that users of Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a (5G) should have already started the update installation (laughs).
