New data point, Pixel 11 Pro XL (Tensor G6, Android 17, Minecraft 1.26.52.3 from Google Play, clean install, no packs): Vibrant Visuals greyed out.
This ticket was closed as a feature request in April 2025. Two things have changed since: (1) Mojang's GDC 2026 "Android Device Tiering" slide lists "PowerVR C-Series or later (e.g. D-Series)" under Tier 5, where Vibrant Visuals is enabled by default; (2) the shipped 1.26.52.3 client's own device-tier table (assets/assets/tiers.bin, read from my installed copy, unmodified) contains "PowerVR C-Series CXTP-48-1536" (Pixel 11) at tier 3 and "PowerVR D-Series DXT-48-1536" (Pixel 10) at tier 3. Vibrant Visuals needs tier 4+, and no PowerVR entry in the table is above tier 3. So these GPUs are recognised by name and ranked one tier below the threshold, in contradiction with the published tiering — a data inconsistency rather than missing support.
Also verified that forcing the native Imagination driver (Developer options → ANGLE Preferences → native; the Pixel 11 routes GLES through ANGLE by default) changes nothing: GL_RENDERER "PowerVR C-Series CXTP-48-1536", OpenGL ES 3.2 build 25.3@6908880, still disabled.
Full details, strings and screenshots in MCPE-243836.
