Free Fire and PUBG Mobile adopt the same battle royale formula, where the last man standing is the winner. PUBG Mobile takes a more straightforward approach to the battle royale genre. It gives fans a more realistic experience.

Garena Free Fire, on the other hand, has a more exclusive and one-of-a-kind approach. It includes elements such as characters and pets, each with its own set of powers and other diverse functions. They attract players to play the game.

Graphics

The graphics in PUBG Mobile are well crafted and have a more natural feel. Because of the excellent map descriptions and interface controls, the game is amusing and enjoyable.

Free Fire lacks a realistic ambiance. It's less textured and more cartoonish, with vivid color schemes that cater to most consumers.

PUBG Mobile is an excellent choice for mid-range devices and above. However, it is not apt for low-end Android devices with 1 or 2 GB of RAM. The game will not run on low-end devices. Even if it opens, the game will be laggy and choppy (even in the lowest graphics settings).

Hence, Free Fire is a better option over PUBG Mobile for low-end devices. Since Free Fire is well-optimized for low-end devices, it will perform seamlessly on devices with 2 GB of RAM.
