The Render Distance option is apparently low on the Samsung Galaxy Note8. Before I used to get an option of 32 Chunks with a stable performance on 16 chunks just fine but apparently the game decided that 6 chunks was the optional performance.

I've just started using a Note8 with minecraft and can only get a max render distance of 8 chunks. That's the minimum I use on my Garlaxy S7!
