Genshin Impact ups recommended Mobile specs in preparation for “enhanced visual presentation” of new region Snezhnaya

Dear Traveler,

Now entering its sixth year since launch, Genshin Impact continues to evolve with frequent content updates and enhanced graphical presentation. And above all else, the dev team remains committed to performance scaling and compatibility optimization.

As a result, Version 7.0 will deliver an enhanced visual presentation (including but not limited to visual upgrades for new characters, as well as new environment textures and effects, etc.), while system specification for the vast majority of devices will remain unchanged.

In version 7.0, the device requirements that remain unchanged from the current ones are:

• Recommended and Supported Specifications for PC, iOS, and Consoles;
• Recommended Specifications for Android devices; Minimum Requirements for Supported Specifications

[SoC (Snapdragon 660 / Helio G88), RAM (4GB), OS Version (Android 10.0)].

With every update and iteration, the dev team’s goal is to accommodate Travelers across all hardware configurations, ensuring the majority of our Travelers can comfortably enjoy the new content we offer.

That being said, starting with Version 7.0, a small number of Android devices may experience stability issues due to compatibility constraints inherent to their older GPU architectures (please see the detailed list below). We would like to inform Travelers of this situation in advance.
