Vendetta-Online Compatible phones
Is there a thread where all compatible phones are reported? If not, could this be the one?
I am looking to buy a phone and confirmed compatibility with Vendetta-Online will be a selection criteria. Others in my position might benefit as well...
It can also be "by CPU" or "by GPU", if all phone running a certain GPU are sure to work with VO.
What say you?

That's a good idea. The current sticky does give chip types (Tegra family, Snapdragon, TI OMAP / PowerVR GPU), but having a phone list would be nice too. Unfortunately, the number of phones tends to be so insane that it can be kind of hellish to keep up.
As some ballpark info: The game currently looks best on Tegra 3 (a few phones coming out soon). It looks fine on Tegra 2. Snapdragon is compatible and fast, doesn't quite look as good yet, but will once we spend some more time (prefer an 8660 or better, Adreno 220 or better specifically). PowerVR (TI OMAP) is the most uncertain right now, it should work, but may or may not look good.. and Samsung's PowerVR stuff is all over the map in terms of compatibility. We supposedly run ok on the Galaxy Nexus, but I haven't personally seen it yet, and it isn't a device we have for testing.
So, simply: Tegra 3 > Tegra 2 > Snapdragon 8660/8960+ > All the PowerVR stuff.
This will probably be improved by the middle of the year (other chip families brought up to Tegra-level compatibility), but that's where things are at the moment.
Everything else is currently "Abandon all hope ye who enter here". We'll try to support some of them eventually, but if you really want VO, stick with the above.
Also, more memory is nice (1GB instead of 512MB, although it can run ok in 512MB).

What about Cortex A8 chips they are 1Ghz single core maybe
Cortex is a licensed design and does not reflect the actual chip family. The biggest issue for VO is the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) and not the CPU. Cortex is the CPU. The game will run on A8 or A9, but it's more important what kind of GPU is included with the A8 or A9. A really fast GPU with an A8 will be better than a slow GPU with an A9.
This is why we predominately discuss the chips by their brand-architecture families, which includes the GPU definition (Tegra3 has four Cortex A9s, plus a Tegra GPU). We also work well on modern Snapdragon, which does not use Cortex-licensed designs at all.

Idk what the gpu is
