Minimum requirements

If we are looking for a new smartphone to be able to play Fortnite, we must check that this device meets some minimum requirements. Currently, the requirements that Epic Games demands for its game are:

  • 64-bit or ARM64 processor
  • Operating System Android 8.0 or higher
  • 4GB of RAM.
  • GPU: Adreno 530 or higher, Mali-G71 MP20, Mali-G72 MP12 or later
  • 6.60 GB of free space

If the smartphone meets these requirements, well, Fortnite will work, at least for now.

Recommendations

When updating, Fortnite may become incompatible with smartphones that meet the aforementioned requirements. This happens with virtually all games and apps, so it is recommended that the above requirements are only an initial reference, and if possible, you should buy a device that exceeds these characteristics by far to enjoy the game for a long time.

On the other hand, just because a device meets the minimum requirements does not mean that the game will run perfectly. At minimums, Fortnite may run below 20FPS, and of course, unstable. And future updates will be even worse, as games tend to include graphical improvements and additions.

Finally, we recommend that the smartphone or tablet you buy is an original product and not a counterfeit or cheap copy of another high-end product. In the case of doing so, it is likely that Fortnite will not work for us or will become incompatible much sooner than it should.
