From Google:

Latest on this is that
it's an issue with the Qualcomm graphics driver (i.e. 2-4ms extra GPU time
beyond what's expected for MSAA). It will be a permanent problem for
Snapdragon devices running Android N, and will be fixed in Android O.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Download attached project and open in Unity
2) In Player Settings, make sure Stereo Rendering Method* is set to Single Pass
3) Build and Run project on a device with Autoconnect Profiler enabled
Observe Profiler, VR.WaitForGPU takes 40+ms

Expected result: VR.WaitForGPU should not take that much memory (check attached image 'expected(Pixel).png')
Actual result: VR.WaitForGPU takes 40+ms which causes performance issues (check attached image 'PixelXlActual.png')

Reproduced with:
5.6.3f1, 2017.1.0p2

I wasn't able to test with 2017.2.0b5 because images on the Canvas are not rendered after deploying on a device
Application crashes using 2017.3.0a2
