DroidDeck supported devices and requirements

DroidDeck 0.4.0 requires Android 9 or newer and a compatible Adreno GPU. Hardware eligibility does not guarantee that every game works.

Facts checked October 14, 2026

Quick answer

The public DroidDeck 0.4.0 README lists Adreno 730 or newer and Adreno 8xx as supported. It calls Adreno 6xx experimental and explicitly marks Mali, Xclipse, PowerVR, and Adreno 710 unsupported.

GPU compatibility table

The table and checker below use the same conservative rule data.

Supported
Adreno 730 or newer, or Adreno 8xxThe selected GPU is inside the supported range published in the DroidDeck 0.4.0 README.
0.4.0 README: supported Adreno 730+ or 8xx.
Experimental
Adreno 6xx familyThe 0.4.0 README describes Adreno 6xx as experimental. DirectX 11 may run through DXVK 2, while DirectX 12 games can still crash.
0.4.0 README: Adreno 6xx experimental.
Unsupported
Adreno 710, Mali, Xclipse, or PowerVRThe selected GPU is explicitly outside the supported hardware listed in the 0.4.0 README.
0.4.0 README: Adreno 710 and non-Adreno GPU families listed here are unsupported.
Unknown
Unlisted, unidentified, or conflicting evidenceThe published requirements do not support a confident classification for this selection. It is not treated as supported.
Conservative result where the 0.4.0 README and in-app classifier differ or the GPU is unidentified.
The 0.4.0 sources do not present one fully consistent GPU boundary.

The tagged app classifier treats Adreno 650 and Adreno 725+ as tested, and 710/720/722 as experimental, while the tagged README publishes a different range. Models in that conflict remain Cannot determine here.

Compare the tagged README with the tagged in-app classifier.

How to find your GPU

DroidDeck's Setup system check displays the detected GPU category and can expose device details for a report. Before installing, use the device manufacturer's specification for the exact regional model or identify its Snapdragon SoC and GPU together.

  1. Check the exact model number.Phone names can be reused across regions with different chipsets.
  2. Find the SoC, not only the marketing name.A Snapdragon model identifies the paired Adreno GPU more reliably.
  3. Choose Unknown when evidence is incomplete.Do not select the nearest number or assume a newer name is supported.

Compatibility checker

Choose the values you can confirm. The checker does not estimate performance or game frame rates.

Use the version shown in Android Settings.

Use Unknown if the exact GPU cannot be confirmed.

Awaiting input

Choose Android and GPU values

Select both fields, then run the check. Unknown information will never be treated as supported.

What compatibility means

1

Published hardware range

Android and GPU meet the documented entry requirement.

2

Device result

A specific phone or handheld has been tested with a named app version and driver.

3

Game result

A particular game works with a particular Proton, driver, component, and game version.

Passing the first layer does not prove the second or third.

Limitations

  • Hardware validation in the official project is limited.
  • GPU drivers, Android vendor changes, DroidDeck updates, and Proton components can change outcomes.
  • Adreno 6xx remains experimental in the public requirements, especially for DirectX 12 games.
  • Unknown or conflicting evidence stays unknown instead of receiving a guessed score.
  • This page does not create a phone database or claim that a listed game is universally supported.

FAQ and next steps

What Android version does DroidDeck require?

The DroidDeck 0.4.0 README requires Android 9 or newer.

Does a supported GPU guarantee that games work?

No. The GPU range only describes the published hardware requirement. Drivers, Proton and component versions, the device ROM, and each game still affect the result.

Why does the checker return Cannot determine for Adreno 725?

The public 0.4.0 README says Adreno 730 or newer, while the app's tagged internal classifier treats Adreno 725 and newer as tested. This guide preserves the conflict instead of silently choosing the more permissive claim.

Are Adreno 6xx devices supported?

The public README calls the whole Adreno 6xx family experimental. It says DirectX 11 may run through DXVK 2, while DirectX 12 games can still crash.

Does this page contain a verified-device list?

No. A device is not labelled verified without a versioned test record. The checker evaluates only the published Android and GPU rules.
