The purpose of this thread is to have a wiki where people can submit what device they use, what quality they use, and how well it runs, so that’s over time we can build up a list of compatible devices, and how well those devices work on what settings. So if anyone asks about if their device is supported or if a certain device works well with Infinite Flight, we can direct them to this list!
This thread has been made a wiki so that you can add your devices to the list.
However, please do not edit devices that have been added, and do not edit the thread format
If your device is already listed above, feel free to give your interpretation of its performance. The more data we can get on a specific device, the more reliable. Please note when adding devices, general discussion is allowed, however debating over Android/ iOS and performance can be done via a PM.
If you have any issues or questions about a device, it’s best to contact the user that posted the specifications. Their names are located next to the Device name

Sorted by manufacturer, then by year.
Google Pixel 6 Pro - 2021
Google Pixel 6 Pro - @Adam @Chris_S
OS: Android 12
Hardware : Google Tensor, 12GB
Rendering Quality: High
3D Object Density: High
Rendering Resolution: High
Texture Quality: High
Anti-Aliasing: On
Framerate: 60FPS
Airplane Count: Very High
Notes: (Adam) A large, more than capable phone which can do anything you ask of it. One of Google’s best, and certainly not one to turn a blind eye to. A must have for anyone looking for one of the best stock-Android experiences. (Same should apply for regular Pixel 6)
(Chris) Runs IF very smoothly. 60 FPS does get a little warm and would not want it for long flights but it would be great to record videos
Google Pixel 5 - 2020
Google Pixel 5 - @Dan_77
OS: Android 11
Hardware : Snapdragon 765G, 8GB
Rendering Quality: High
3D Object Density: High
Rendering Resolution: High
Texture Quality: High
Anti-Aliasing: On
Framerate: 60FPS
Airplane Count: High
Notes: A very good performer, but I found it could lag slightly at a full airport. Lowering the resolution slightly gave no visual impact and boosted performance. Too small for me sadly so back to the 4XL. 4a 5G should perform the same as it has near identical specs. Excellent battery and 90Hz is a welcome bonus
Google Pixel 4a 5G - 2020
Google Pixel 4a 5G - @Niccckk
OS: Android 11
Hardware : Snapdragon 765G, 6GB
Rendering Quality: High
3D Object Density: High
Rendering Resolution: High
Texture Quality: High
Anti-Aliasing: On
Framerate: 60FPS
Airplane Count: Very High
Notes:Upgraded from my Pixel 2. Near identical (a little bit better) performance out of the 4A 5G. My Pixel 2 had a good run. Upgraded because of poor battery. Looking to keep this device for 3-4 years.
Google Pixel 4XL - 2019
Google Pixel 4XL - @Dan_77
OS: Android 12, SPB1
Hardware : Snapdragon 855, 6GB
Rendering Quality: High
3D Object Density: High
Rendering Resolution: High
Texture Quality: High
Anti-Aliasing: On
Framerate: 60FPS
Airplane Count: Very High
Notes: Excellent device, nice and smooth with the 90Hz screen. Battery life is okay but nothing special, has perhaps the best display on a phone I have ever used. Stock Android and a very nice feel in the hand, would recommend
Google Pixel 4 - 2019
Google Pixel 4 - @Adam
OS: Android 11
Hardware: Snapdragon 855, 6GB
Rendering Quality: High
3D Object Density: High
Rendering Resolution: High
Texture Quality: High
Anti-Aliasing: On
Framerate: 60FPS
Airplane Count: Very High
Notes : The Pixel 4 will get you through the longest of flights with no worries at all, you’ll be able to fly into any FNF, regardless of how many aircraft there are, without encountering any lag, at all. If you’re looking for a phone as your daily driver, I would definitely recommend the Pixel 4
Google Pixel 3XL - 2018
Google Pixel 3XL - @Dan_77
OS: Android 12 SPB1
Hardware: Snapdragon 845, 4GB
Rendering Quality: High
3D Object Density: High
Rendering Resolution: High
Texture quality: High
Anti-aliasing: On
Framerate: 30FPS
Airplane count: Very High
Note: Picked up in 2020, this is still an excellent phone to use for flying and day to day tasks. Runs the simulator exceptionally well and has that great “pixel feel” to it that you simply do not get from any other devices.
Google Pixel 3 - 2018
Google Pixel 3 - @Adam
OS: Android 11
Hardware: Snapdragon 845, 4GB
Rendering Quality: High
3D Object Density: High
Rendering Resolution: High
Texture Quality: High
Anti-Aliasing: On
Framerate: 30FPS
Airplane Count: Very High
Notes: A very powerful phone that runs Infinite Flight extremely well, I reckon its one of the best phones to play Infinite Flight on.
Google Pixel 2XL - 2017
Google Pixel 2XL - @Dan_77
OS: Android 11/ Lineage OS 18.1
Hardware: Snapdragon 835, 4GB
Rendering Quality: High
3D Object Density: High
Rendering Resolution: Medium
Texture quality: High
Anti-aliasing: On
Framerate: 30FPS
Airplane Count: High
Note: Still going strong 3 years after release, is now end of life for updates. Might be worth considering an AOSP ROM to extend its life further.
Google Pixel 2 - 2017
Google Pixel 2 - @Niccckk
OS: Android 11
Hardware: Snapdragon 835, 4GB
Rendering Quality: High
3D Object Density: High
Rendering Resolution: Medium
Texture quality: High
Anti-Aliasing: On
Framerate: 30FPS
Airplane count: Very High
Notes: Still a very powerful phone in 2019. I hardly ever experience any issues with this device, besides the occasional lag at busy airports, like FNF. You will feel the phone heat up while in flight, but it’s still super fast, and would still recommend buying today. EOL for updates.
Razer Phone 2 - 2018
Razer Phone 2 - @AXEL_GAMING
OS: Android 9
Hardware: Snapdragon 845, 8GB
Rendering Quality: High
3D Object Density: High
Rendering Resolution: High
Texture Quality: High
Anti-Aliasing: On
Framerate: 60FPS
Airplane Count: Very High
Notes:The Razer Phone 2 is a gaming beast. Maybe the 120hz screen is a gimmick, but cool. It is cooled by a vapor chamber so from my use it has been not overall hot, but keeps temps low. But overall good as a daily driver.
Razer Phone - 2017
Razer Phone - @Dan_77
OS: LineageOS 17.1
Hardware: Snapdragon 835, 8GB
Rendering Quality: High
3D Object Density: High
Rendering Resolution: High
Texture quality: High
Anti-aliasing: On
Framerate: 60FPS
Airplane count:
Note: 120HZ, 1440p and 8GB RAM make this the ultimate phone for flying, watching videos and just general use. Easily the smoothest device I have ever owned, more than any iOS device. Though razer quality control means the screen is screwed.
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G - 2020
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G - @Dan_77
OS: Android 11/ One UI 3.0
Hardware: Exynos 990, 12GB RAM
Rendering Quality: High
3D Object Density: High
Rendering Resolution: High
Texture quality: High
Anti-Aliasing: On
Framerate: 60FPS
Airplane count: Very High
Notes: Disclaimer, I do not own this device. A friend very kindly let me run IF on his to test it briefly. Stellar performance. The Exynos did hinder thermal performance slightly and the phone got quite warm very quickly. Beautiful display, feels great in the hand… The perfect phone, if you like the Samsung skin on Android. Which I don’t, hence why I got a Pixel instead.
Samsung Galaxy S20FE 5G - 2020

Rendering Quality: High
3D Object Density: High
Rendering Resolution: High
Texture quality: High
Anti-Aliasing: On
Framerate: 60FPS

Notes: With all settings to the max it works super well. You can expect even better performance from the 256GB 5G version as it has 8GB RAM as opposed to 6. Can heat up a little bit

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 5G - @Jeno_Farkas

Hardware: Snapdragon 855, 12GB
Rendering Quality: High
3D Object Density: High
Rendering Resolution: High
Texture quality: High
Anti-Aliasing: On
Framerate: 60FPS

Notes: Exceptional performance from a phone with a crystal glass back. The best of smartphones certainly doesn’t disappoint with the smoothest gameplay present on a phone.
Samsung Galaxy S10+ - 2019
Samsung Galaxy S10+ - @Dan_77 @ServerGhost
OS: Android 11/ One UI 3.1
Hardware: Exynos 9820, 8GB / Snapdragon 855, 12GB
Rendering Quality: High
3D Object Density: High
Rendering Resolution: High
Texture quality: High
Anti-Aliasing: On
Framerate: 60FPS
Airplane count: Very High
Notes:
Burrito77: Picked up second hand off a friend, overall fantastic device, however as the Exynos version it can have thermal issues and a random unexplained crash.
ServerGhost: This device is insane, with the highest possible settings available the Galaxy S10+ outperforms the previous S9+ I used for Infinite Flight.
Waiting on some screen size fixes, overall a beautiful device in aesthetic and performance!
Samsung Galaxy Note 9 - 2018

Rendering Resolution: High
Texture quality: High
Anti-Aliasing: On
Framerate: 30FPS

Rendering Resolution: High
Texture quality: High
Anti-Aliasing: On
Framerate: 30FPS
Airplane count: High
Notes: The S9 is Samsung’s 2018 flagship, however is a minimalist upgrade of the S8. It will throttle aggressively if not handled correctly

OS: Android 9
Hardware: Exynos 8895 or Snapdragon 835, 6GB
Rendering Quality: High
3D Object Density: Medium
Rendering Resolution: High
Texture quality: High
Anti-aliasing: ON
Framerate: 30FPS
Airplane count:
Note: With these settings Infinite Flight looks stunning on the Note 8’s huge screen. Worth to mention that with the Frame Limiter set to Off, the phone tends to push itself to the limits no matter how crowded the airport is nearby, which can make it really hot.
Samsung Galaxy S8+ - 2017

OS: Android 9
Hardware: Exynos 8895 or Snapdragon 835, 4GB

Rendering Resolution: High
Texture quality: High
Anti-Aliasing: On
Framerate: 30FPS

Texture quality: High
Anti-Aliasing: On
