Graphics options?

Hi! I downloaded SimCity BuildIt yesterday on my Android tablet and it was odd that there are no options to change graphics settings. Later yesterday, I saw that the iOS version is much nicer, has s...

I played on Xperia z4 tablet. but there are no shadows and light tracks when pickup things, cannot zoom out far enough cannot zoom in close enough, cannot change the camera angle so much, and i think i cannot see the small lil humans walking too. it's kinda weird coz xperia  tablet z4 have awesome graphics and processor so it should support highest graphic for the game. I think the autosettings maybe depends on the screen ratio... idk.

I played build it with sony bkb50 using the touchpad and i love it!

hope the graphic problems can be solved.

cheers.

I also have the same problems with Xperia Z4 Tablet.  I got a fairly generic response from support previously when I raised the question, basically insinuating that the experience is optimised depending on your hardware performance and the Z4 tablet wasn't up to it!

This is FAR more likely to be poorly optimised or just completely untested on this hardware.  The Z4 is packing a Qualcomm 810 soc, yet its running zoomed in, all graphic effects off and treating it like some first gen android hardware.  Come on EA  - you can do better than this.

    Really? That is the response that EA gave for the Z4 tablet issue? Hardware is not up to it????

    Z4 tablet Specs:

    CPU: 2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, 64-bit Octa Core

    GPU: Adreno 430

    RAM: 3GB

    Screen Res: 2560 x 1600 

    Z3 Phone Specs:

    CPU: Snapdragon 2.5 GHz Qualcomm Quad-core

    GPU: Adreno 330

    RAM: 3GB

    Screen Res: 1920 x 1080 

    Simcity works fine on my Z3, I'm able to zoom in/out just like my iPAD Air2 version

    On the Z4, I'm not able to zoom out to see as much land as I can on my iPAD/Z3, I can't tilt as much to get a birdseye view either. I'm very familiar with the controls (since I play on my iPAD Air2 as well), so I'm confident it's *NOT* a user issue here.

    So I'm pretty sure it's *NOT* a hardware issue, it's just getting EA to support Z4 high resolution using the 430 GPU.

    Come on guys, please........................................................get it to work on Z4 tablet..................................pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
