Verdict: Which will perform better?

As Battlegrounds Mobile India is likely to follow the footprints of PUBG Mobile, players can expect the same resource-intensive graphics and gameplay. Hence, BGMI will not be suitable for 2 GB RAM devices and may cause latency with choppy frames.

Free Fire, which offers a lag-free experience to players on low-end devices, will be a better choice for 2 GB RAM Android devices.
