Excuse my ignorance, but what are the important differences between this port based on the Android version and the Definitive Edition for Nintendo Switch?

Apparently stuff like choppy frame rates often dropping below 30 fps, blurry textures, broken graphical effects like heavy rain rendering as opaque white walls, and awkward character model errors.

I didn't encounter any of these when playing the Vice City Def Version but didn't try SA.
