Free Fire is more cartoonish and has average-quality graphics. The frames and in-game structures are not detailed. However, after a few updates, the game has managed to deliver 60 FPS frame rates and UHD (Ultra HD) gameplay on 4 GB RAM devices and above.

Conclusion: Who is better?

Concerning 2 GB RAM Android devices, Free Fire is the clear winner as it can run pretty smoothly even after the latest OB28 update.

However, COD Mobile will not be the apt choice for such low-end devices as it requires stronger internal hardware.
