Which game will perform better on 2 GB RAM Android devices?

As both Battlegrounds Mobile India and Free Fire have similar minimum system requirements of 2 GB RAM Android devices, players with low-end devices can expect both to run on their devices.

Although Free Fire will perform well on 2 GB RAM devices, that might not be the case for Battlegrounds Mobile India. As the latter is a variant of the original PUBG Mobile, players expect it to include the same resource-intensive and high-quality gameplay graphics.

Optimally running these high-end graphics requires strong and stable hardware. PUBG Mobile performs decently on a device that has 4 GB RAM and generates up to 45-50 FPS at most.

Free Fire, on the other hand, performs at max capacity on 4 GB RAM devices. It runs on the highest graphics settings, generating up to 60 FPS frame rates.

Verdict

Battlegrounds Mobile India, being almost a replica of PUBG Mobile, is also expected to incorporate the same graphical elements, using up most of the device resources. Hence, although Battlegrounds Mobile India will run on 2 GB RAM devices, players must be prepared for laggy and choppy frame rates during gameplay.

On the other hand, as Free Fire is optimized for low-end devices, players can enjoy a seamless and lag-free gameplay experience even on 2 GB RAM devices.
