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 shadows and the whole picture is smoother. I assume it's because a lot of people have older Android phones with weaker hardware, but some options to turn off/on things like shadows, texture quality, lighting, etc would be cool for those with stronger hardware.

I hope we will see some of these in the near future.

Edit: I just realized that others have shadows on Android too. Also realized that others can zoom out and tilt the camera much more. I took a picture, this is the highest I can go with the camera and you can see that my game is not as nice/smooth as others. I don't know why. Please if you have a solution to my problems, help me. Thank you.

I just want to lower the graphics settings, my device doesn’t have performance issues really unless it’s a city of like 1mil+. The issues I’m having is it’s really really hard on my battery and makes my phone get quite hot making it even worse on the battery, like it’s so hard on my phone than I’ve been playing for a about 3-4 hours and my phone has been on charge the whole time mind you my charger isn’t a fast charger but still after 4 hours it would most definitely be fully charged, but no I’ve gone up 20%, this becomes more of an issue when I play this game occasionally when I’m out and abt bc after like halfa or so I’ll loose a very large % of my charge
