PUBG Mobile has an average gameplay duration of 20-30 minutes, with 100 players landing on a map to battle it out against one another. It is very resource-intensive, and the device engagement subsequently gets heavy. After a few matches, the device slowly heats up, and the gameplay can become laggy and jittery.

COD Mobile is also very resource-intensive in its gameplay style but hardly has any lag. It offers pretty smooth gameplay, and its average match duration is also the same as that of PUBG Mobile, with 100 players landing on a battle royale map.

Graphics

PUBG Mobile and COD Mobile offer rich gameplay with Ultra HD graphics support. They also offer 60-90 FPS of in-game frame rate support with a quality experience.

However, COD Mobile's vibrant visuals and open-world map details with a 60FPS minimal lag experience is a better option based on the graphics criteria.

Conclusion

Both PUBG Mobile and COD Mobile will run smoothly on medium-range and budget smartphones. However, in terms of quality and lag-free gameplay, COD Mobile is a better option than PUBG Mobile.
