PUBG Mobile Best Settings for Low-End Phone: 90 FPS Guide 2025

Q: How to get 90 FPS on PUBG Mobile on a low-end phone?

To unlock 90 FPS on PUBG Mobile: Go to Settings → Graphics & Audio → set Graphics to Smooth → set Frame Rate to Extreme (this unlocks 60fps) or Extreme+ (90fps on supported devices). If 90fps is not available on your device, use GFX Tool (free on Play Store) to force unlock it. Note: not every phone's processor can actually maintain 90fps even if unlocked.

Q: Is 90 FPS or 60 FPS better for PUBG Mobile?

90 FPS makes gameplay visibly smoother and gives you a slight competitive advantage as enemies move more fluidly on screen. However, if your phone drops below 90fps frequently, 60fps is actually better — steady 60fps beats unstable 90fps every time. Prioritize stability over frame count. Test both and use whichever stays more consistent during firefights.

Q: Which Android phone can run PUBG Mobile at 90 FPS?

Phones that support 90 FPS in PUBG Mobile include: Redmi Note 12 (Snapdragon 685), Samsung A34 (Dimensity 1080), Tecno Spark 20 Pro (Helio G99), and Infinix Zero 30 (Helio G99). Most phones with Helio G85 or higher can attempt 90fps — but stable 90fps requires G99/Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 or better.

PUBG Mobile on Budget Phones

✓The right settings make a Rs 20,000 phone feel like a Rs 60,000 gaming device
✓Tested specifically on 3–4GB RAM phones with Helio G85/G88
✓Get stable 60fps without spending on new hardware

This is not a generic settings guide. Every setting below was tested specifically on budget Android phones (3–4GB RAM, Helio G85/G88) to find the combination that gives maximum FPS with minimum lag spikes. Follow these exactly and your gameplay will feel noticeably smoother in your next match.

In-Game Settings: The Exact Configuration

PUBG Mobile graphics settings for low-end phones

Graphics Quality — Set to Smooth — this is the most important setting. Smooth unlocks higher frame rates that Balanced and HD lock out. Never use Balanced on a budget phone.

Frame Rate — Set to Extreme (60fps) first. If your phone handles it without overheating, try Extreme+ (90fps). If frames drop below 50fps frequently, go back to High (40fps) — stable 40fps beats unstable 90fps.

Shadows — Disable completely — shadows are the single biggest FPS drain. Disabling shadows alone can add 15–20fps on low-end phones.

Anti-Aliasing — Disable — invisible difference in gameplay but major performance hit.

Post-Processing — Lowest — reduces blur effects that your GPU struggles to render.

Rendering Quality — Medium — visual quality impact is minimal, performance gain is significant.

Before You Open PUBG: Phone Preparation

Close All Background Apps

Open your recent apps tray and close everything except PUBG Mobile. Background apps eat 200–500MB RAM that PUBG needs.

Enable Game Mode

Most Android phones have a Game Mode or Gaming Hub in Quick Settings. Enable it — it blocks notifications, calls, and background processes automatically.

Turn Off Auto-Brightness

Auto-brightness causes your GPU to constantly adjust rendering. Lock brightness at 70–80% manually before starting.

Disable Battery Saver

Battery Saver mode caps your processor speed. Turn it off before gaming — your phone will throttle performance otherwise.

Wait for the Phone to Cool

If your phone was warm from WhatsApp, YouTube, or charging, wait 10 minutes before starting PUBG. Overheated phones throttle performance immediately.

Use WiFi, Not Mobile Data

PUBG on mobile data has higher ping (50–150ms) vs WiFi (20–40ms). WiFi not only reduces lag but also reduces battery drain during matches.

How to Unlock 90 FPS on Phones That Don't Show the Option

PUBG Mobile locks 90fps and 120fps to specific device models. If you don't see 90fps in your settings, use GFX Tool — a free app on the Play Store that forces higher frame rates regardless of your device whitelist status.

⚠️ GFX Tool usage warning

GFX Tool does not modify PUBG game files — it only changes device-reported settings. However, using it to unlock frame rates your device cannot actually maintain will cause severe overheating and more frame drops than just playing at 60fps. Only force 90fps if your phone has Helio G99, Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, or Dimensity 1080 — these chips can actually sustain 90fps gameplay.

Expected FPS by Phone Processor

Processor	PUBG Mobile FPS (Smooth)	90fps Stable?	Example Phones
Helio G99	80–90fps	Yes (most matches)	Infinix GT 20 Pro, Tecno Spark 20 Pro
Snapdragon 685	60–70fps	With GFX Tool	Redmi Note 12, Samsung A23
Dimensity 7050	70–80fps	Sometimes	Redmi Note 13 5G
Helio G88	50–60fps	No (gets hot)	Redmi Note 11, Infinix Note 11
Helio G85	40–55fps	No	Realme C55, Samsung A04s
Helio G36	25–35fps	No	Budget phones under Rs 15,000

How to get 90 FPS on PUBG Mobile on a low-end phone?+

Settings → Graphics → Smooth → Frame Rate → Extreme (60fps). For 90fps: try Extreme+ first. If not available, install GFX Tool from Play Store and force 90fps. Note: your phone needs Helio G99 or Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 to actually sustain 90fps — weaker chips will drop below 60fps even with 90fps unlocked.

Is 90 FPS or 60 FPS better for PUBG Mobile?+

Stable 60fps is better than unstable 90fps. If your phone drops to 45fps during fights when 90fps is enabled, switch back to 60fps — consistent frames give you more accurate shots. Test both modes and use whichever stays above 55fps during active firefights.

Which Android phone can run PUBG Mobile at 90 FPS?+

Phones that stably run 90fps: Infinix GT 20 Pro, Redmi Note 13 5G (Dimensity 7050), Samsung A34, Tecno Spark 20 Pro. Under Rs 30,000, the Infinix GT 20 Pro is the best 90fps gaming option in Pakistan.
