| Device Manufacturer | Device Model | OS Version? | Compatibility | Notes? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Samsung | Galaxy Note 8 (SM-N950U T-Mobile) | Android 9 (One UI 1.0) | Mostly/Full | Game needs to be enabled in 'Full screen apps' settings to support the full display ratio (18.5:9) or will display in regular 16:9. It may be enabled by default and has reverted after an apk update one time. Using mobile data rather than WiFi will cause the game to crash when first logging in and opening the home menu, this appears to have been a thing since late 2021/v8.0/8th anniversary (fixed in v10.0.0?). |
| Samsung | Galaxy J3 (2016 SM-J320FN) | Android 7.1.2 (LineageOS 14.1) | Poor | Tested with v10.4.3 and the game settings on 'Low'. While the game works in every area, 3D rendering is very slow with unplayable FPS. 2D sprites works fine and menus load surprisingly fast. |
| Xiaomi | Poco X3 GT (Dimensity 1100) | MIUI 12 Android 11 | Poor/Bootable | As of November 2022 (9th Anniversary update), game went from Full compatibility to Poor. Currently runs at a very low FPS and Garage is blank, low graphics settings RECOMMENDED! |

| Samsung | Galaxy S22 | Android 12 | Mostly | Game may occassionally freeze especially when loading both before and during races (especially RTB or ZS races). Having in-game music playing in the background is a side effect of this issue.
During ZS events, there is a bug that prevents parts and/or companions from being installed on cars. (For example, no prompt appears when you tap a part on the part installation screen) Sometimes buttons containing gas refill ad bonuses don't show up at all after much navigation. Even the one for daily 50% gasoline becomes locked on occassion. All problems above are fixed by simply rebooting the game. Sometimes, the music still plays in the background despite the game being closed, therefore user is forced to either wait a few moments, reboot the game again, or further, clearing the game's cache and/or rebooting the device. |
| Xiaomi | Redmi Note 8 | Android 10 (MIUI Global 12.0.4 Stable) | Mostly | If a dark theme is used for the device, a black screen will show up whenever the Garage is in view and the colours of buttons will be abnormal. Issues are fixed by using a light theme for the device |
| Xiaomi | Redmi 12 | Unknown | Mostly/Unplayable | Game becomes extremely laggy using low graphics settings, shows black screen on other settings. Issues are fixed by changing the device's locale settings to Japan |
