Description
It seems certain Samsung models render text elements wrong.
I've seen the issue on Samsung S23 and S20, both I think using Exynos GPUs.
Blank project with 2D screen + text element using Roboto font: https://playcanvas.com/project/1255348/settings
Published build: https://playcanv.as/p/CdFCBy9Z/

Research direction
Start by opening the linked blank PlayCanvas project and published build on Samsung S23 and S20 devices, then compare their text rendering with the provided desktop screenshots and WebGL reports. Done means identifying the device-specific rendering cause and making the Roboto text element render correctly on the affected Samsung models.
