PUBG Mobile and Free Fire are big games in the esports community. They share the common Battle Royale genre and are known for their immersive gaming experiences. Despite the release of Free Fire , this was not the case for PUBG Mobile considering the limitations of low-end devices . Both games have minimum system requirements for android and iOS devices.
Android version: 5.1.1 and above
Ram: 2GB
Memory: 2GB
Processor: A good processor, e.g. Snapdragon 425 equivalent
For iOS:
iPhone 5S, iPad 2, or newer devices running iOS 9 or later
On Android devices, the game requires Android OS version 4.0.3 or higher. On Apple devices, you must have iOS version 8.0 or higher to run the game. Your device must have at least 1.1 GB of free space. It is also recommended to have at least 2GB of RAM.
While specifying the system requirements , let's look at the key aspects and features that will determine whether Free Fire or PUBG Mobile is better for low-end devices.
If we're going to comment on the hardware aspect of a device, the deciding factors will be the game's graphics and gameplay.
Free Fire's BR mode consists of 50 players, while PUBG Mobile's BR mode consists of 100 players. Free Fire results in quite different match dynamics as it offers instant and intense matches lasting 10-15 minutes in which players can act immediately. PUBG Mobile includes resource-intensive gameplay and requires a much longer time to complete a game. It causes more investment in processing power thereby reducing the performance and quality of the game and device which is not the case with Free Fire.
It's pretty obvious that PUBG Mobile has better graphics than Free Fire. PUBG Mobile is known for its realistic graphics and can even compare PUBG Mobile's Graphics to a PC game which definitely adds to the experience. Free Fire has a more cartoonish approach to the game's graphics quality and visuals. In contrast, PUBG Mobile has specifically enhanced every detail on the maps with sharpened color schemes and contrasts, making the game more enjoyable and attractive to its players.
Bigger Graphics optimization, bigger devices; Free Fire would be best suited for a low-end smartphone.
PUBG Mobile comes in at about 1.6GB, while Free Fire only takes up about 600MB of space on the device. Both PUBG Mobile and Free Fire will work on low-end devices, but Free Fire is undoubtedly the best for a much smoother and lag-free experience.
