Our shared vision across the Android Games and Graphics organization is"A world where game development is performed on Android first". In such a world (i) Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) drivers on Android are reliable, (ii) game developers are able to build and optimize their games faster on Android compared to other platforms, and (iii) we develop technology to monitor key graphics performance metrics and measure success for the Android Games and Graphics organization.
Android is Google's open-source mobile operating system powering more than 3 billion devices worldwide. Android is about bringing computing to everyone in the world. We believe computing is a super power for good, enabling access to information, economic opportunity, productivity, connectivity between friends and family and more. We think everyone in the world should have access to the best computing has to offer. We provide the platform for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and developers to build compelling computing devices (smartphones, tablets, TVs, wearables, etc) that run the best apps/services for everyone in the world.
