Android velocity slower than editor

I am trying to move multiple player GameObjects when input is received. Here is the code that I wrote to do this:

     void FixedUpdate(){
         if (movementVector!= curMovementVector) {
             curMovementVector = movementVector;
 
             for(int i = 0; i < players.Count; i++) {
     
                 Rigidbody2D rb = players[i].GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
                 PlayerController playerController = players[i].GetComponent<PlayerController>();
 
                 rb.velocity = movementVector * speed;
 
                 switch(movementDirection) {
                     case "up":
                     case "down":
                         playerController.SetSize(movementDirection);
                         rb.constraints = RigidbodyConstraints2D.FreezePositionX; 
                         break;
                     case "left":
                     case "right":
                         playerController.SetSize(movementDirection);
                         rb.constraints = RigidbodyConstraints2D.FreezePositionY;
 
                         break;
                 }
             }
         }
     }

The movement vector is set on input. I update the velocity only when a new input is received.

But whatever I do the speed of the players on my android phone is slower than in the editor. I have tried profiling for perfomance issues and also multiplying by both Time.deltaTime and Time.fixedDeltaTime. But nothing seems to fix the issue.

EDIT:

I tried inserting just hardcoded values, but it remained quicker in the editor.

This is how I get the movement vector and the speed is just a float:

 void Update() {
         if (globalVariables.isCreating == false) {        
             if (swipeControls.swipeUp) {
                 movementVector = transform.up;
                 movementDirection = "up";
                 
             } 
 
             if (swipeControls.swipeDown) {
                 movementVector = -transform.up;
                 movementDirection = "down";
             } 
 
             if (swipeControls.swipeRight) {
                 movementVector = transform.right;
                 movementDirection = "right";
             } 
 
             if (swipeControls.swipeLeft) {
                 movementVector = -transform.right;
                 movementDirection = "left";
             } 
         } 
     }
