PUBG vs Free Fire: Device requirements for those two games

From the beginning of this article, we have bashed Free Fire by Garena a lot, as well as praising PUBG Mobile. No bias here, we merely tell you the truth. And but here is the thing that Free Fire does better than PUBG Mobile: Free Fire will require fewer spec requirements from your smartphone, in comparison with PUBG Mobile.

Free Fire by Garena only takes about 500MB of your smartphone storage, and this game can comfortably run in smartphones with 1GB of RAM. This is still a battle royale game, so it will certainly consume a lot of your battery and heat up your smartphone, but in a moderate amount.

On the other hands, PUBG Mobile takes up to nearly 2GB of your smartphone storage, and only smartphones with 2GB of RAM or more can run this game. However, in big combat, even a 2GB Ram smartphone cannot handle the game smoothly. We do recommend using smartphones with at least 3GB of RAM to fully enjoy this game. Also, PUBG Mobile will take much more battery of your phone and heat up your phone like a heater.
