Samsung continues to show its commitment to users by expanding software support to mid-range devices like the Galaxy A34. With the latest One UI 7 update, the Galaxy A34 officially supports Vulkan graphics, a significant step forward from the previous OpenGL standard. Along with that, the GPUWatch feature has also been added, allowing real-time GPU performance monitoring.
The update has now started rolling out in Korea and will soon be available in other regions around the world. The update package is quite large, around 3 to 4GB, so users should use Wi-Fi to download.
Switching to the Vulkan graphics API significantly improves gaming performance, providing smoother animations and reducing CPU load. In addition, Vulkan also helps save battery thanks to more efficient GPU use. This is a graphics standard that was previously only available on high-end Galaxy models, but has now been expanded to the mid-range segment.
GPUWatch is a new tool for developers and advanced users. When enabled, it displays parameters such as GPU usage, frame rate (FPS), and CPU consumption right on the screen. To enable GPUWatch, users just need to open the developer options mode and adjust according to their needs.
Not only does it benefit gamers with a smoother and less laggy experience, the One UI 7 update also comes with a redesigned interface, more refined transition effects, and more personalization options. The addition of Vulkan and GPUWatch not only upgrades the graphics capabilities but also opens up opportunities for both regular users and programmers to exploit the device more effectively.
