Every file listed on gtasanandreasandroid.net is tested on real phones before any download button goes up. We install the game ourselves, play it the way a normal player would, and only publish download information for builds that pass our checks.
Our current test phones are the Galaxy A55 (Android 15), Pixel 8 (Android 16), Redmi Note 13 Pro (Android 14), Infinix Note 40 Pro (Android 14) and Galaxy A13 (Android 12). Testing across newer, mid-range and older hardware shows us how a large open-world game performs on the phones most readers actually use.
For each build we run a clean installation, review the permissions the game requests, check performance across missions and free roaming, and run a safety scan on the file. Marcus Webb leads the GTA San Andreas Android testing, playing long sessions on each device to catch streaming, heat and stability problems that short tests miss.
When a new GTA San Andreas Android version arrives, the same checks run again before the download information is updated. If a build fails the installation, permissions, performance or safety checks, it does not go up on this site.
The testing is led by our reviewer, whose background is on the author page, and every build that passes is published on the download page.
