Did Android get a graphics upgrade?

I noticed that with the new update my game on Android has graphical feature that were restricted to iOS until now: Specifically the shimmering/distortion effects for certain champs like Shang-Chi's attacks or the light orbs in the Galactorum arena. No weather effects that I have noticed (yet)

I noticed that after I upgraded to S25 from S9+, where, despite being outdated, didn't have any distortions.

I only ever see it on the fight preview screen across the chest of my champion and only ever there. Oddly specific.

Same with the Ant Man champions, they now have the iOS shrinking effect
