The Graphics of PUBG Mobile KR are commendable. It offers realistic life-like textures in frames with 60 FPS extreme frame rate caps on 4 GB RAM Android devices.

Conclusion: Which is a better performer?

Both PUBG Mobile KR and Free Fire are undoubtedly decent performers on budget Android devices. However, PUBG Mobile KR is heavy to optimize, and hence, after a short interval of time, the game tends to get laggy and choppy on 4 GB RAM devices.

Free Fire though, is designed to be capable of running on low-end devices. Hence, it requires much lesser device optimization and can perform better than the former with smooth and high frame rates on 4 GB RAM devices.
