We are communicating a potential change we are currently contemplating for the Android version of our k53 simulator.
We are running an experiment to switch the app’s color space from linear back to gamma on the Google Play Store and Huawei AppGallery versions.
The motivation behind this experiment is focused purely on performance and wider accessibility. We are testing this change to see if it delivers a smoother, more stable experience for users on a broader range of Android hardware, especially mid- and low-end devices.
This contemplated change would only affect the Android version. The PC and WebGL versions would not be part of this experiment and will remain in the linear color space to maintain their high visual fidelity.
We recognize this is a trade-off. This experiment weighs the physically accurate lighting of linear color against the significant performance gains of gamma on mobile hardware.
Part of this process may involve offering two mobile versions in the future—one optimized for performance and one for high-end devices—but for now, we are simply in the experimental stage. We will see where this leads.
Thanks for your understanding.
