Well, all of Samsung’s flagship smartphones for the year have launched. We’re talking about the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Flip 6. These are powerful gaming devices, yes, but Samsung saw to it to make them the best. According to a new report, Samsung optimized its latest flagship phones for Dark And Darker Mobile.
In case you’ve been living under that proverbial rock for the past two weeks, Samsung unveiled its latest foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. What they lack in hardware and visual changes, they make up for in new AI tools and other goodies. If you’re interested in learning about these devices, we have a ton of information on them. For example, you can read our Galaxy Z Fold 6 review.
Samsung optimized its latest flagship to run Dark And Darker Mobile
Sometimes, it doesn’t matter how powerful a device is, optimization is key. For example, Genshin Impact is a great-looking game, and a bit more graphically intensive than Honkai Star Rail, but the latter doesn’t run as smoothly on devices. That’s because Genshin is better optimized than Star Rail.
Dark And Darker Mobile is a pretty graphically intensive game in the Google Play Store, and most phones running the best hardware should run it smoothly. However, Samsung decided to take this to the next level. Its phones are optimized to run this game smoothly, so you shouldn’t expect any hiccups, but it goes further than that.
Thanks to this collaboration, you’ll use Vulkan 3D graphics, which will look nice. Also, this partnership brings ray tracing to this game. That’s pretty big, but not too many people recognize Samsung’s ray tracing tech.
This partnership also brought something that foldable users have been struggling with. Most of the time, when you play a game with the screen folded and then unfold it, the game will still think that it’s folded and display accordingly. However, Darker And Darker Mobile will change the way it’s displayed when you open the phone and vice versa.
There’s a catch
One thing to note is that these optimizations may not be available everywhere. These were for the phone running the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy SoC. This means that the phones running the Exynos 2400 could be left out. So, some users with the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ might be left out in the rain.
If you’re interested in trying Dark And Darker, it’s in beta, and the first global test will start on Thursday, August 1st.
