The Best Budget Smartphones To Play PUBG


PUBG Mobile is currently the best Battle Royale game available for mobile devices. However, not every device out there is powerful enough to run the graphics-intensive game.

If you're using a budget mobile device from a couple of years ago, then chances are that you might experience a ton of lag and frame drops while trying to get the Chicken Dinner. Not only can lag and frame drops prevent you from eliminating your enemy but it can also be extremely annoying.

Fortunately, you don't have to give up an arm and a leg or even a kidney just to buy a flagship smartphone to play PUBG. Most budget smartphones these days are capable enough to run PUBG smoothly.

To make things easier for you, I've picked the best smartphones in the Indian market which would allow you to grind on PUBG without the constant lag and FPS drops.


Best budget smartphones for PUBG


Here are the best smartphones to consider buying if you're looking to purchase a new device. Game performance is the main focus for these smartphones on the list.

1. Honor Play 

Honor Play

This is a no-brainer. The Honor Play comes with the company's flagship chipset from last year which is the Kirin 970. While the device was overshadowed by the Poco F1, it is now available for only Rs. 12,999 which is insane.

No smartphone in its current price range offers the same performance since other smartphones offer mid-range chipsets at the price. With 6GB RAM and 64GB onboard storage, the Honor Play is a fantastic buy for gamers looking out for a budget smartphone.


2. Poco F1

Poco F1

You probably saw this coming. The Poco F1 is still one of the best smartphones under Rs. 20,000 and it's available for Rs. 17,999. It's the most expensive offering on the list but if you could extend your budget to 18K, it would be the best decision.

It comes with last years flagship Snapdragon 845 processor paired with 6GB RAM and 64GB storage for the base variant. PUBG runs like butter on the device and the only lag or FPS drops you might experience would be due to the game being unoptimized.


3. Realme 3 Pro

Realme 3 Pro

The Realme 3 Pro comes with the mid-range Snapdragon 710 chipset paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage. While the 710 mid-ranger isn't the latest chipset, it offers decent performance for games.

We also get a 4045mAh battery which means you'd be able to game for longer on a single charge. Fortunately, when the device runs out of battery, you wouldn't have to wait long since it supports VOOC Flash Charge 3.0. It is available at a starting price of Rs. 12,999.


4. Vivo Z1x

Vivo Z1x

Vivo's upcoming smartphone — the Z1x, isn't yet available to buy at the moment, however, it would go on sale in another few days. The Z1x comes with the Snapdragon 712 AIE processor which is more than capable of running PUBG with minimal lag or drops in FPS.

The device also has an in-screen fingerprint scanner and has a large 4500mAh battery. It also has three rear cameras which is a bonus for those of you gamers who want a smartphone with good cameras too. Vivo's Z1x would be available for a starting price of Rs. 16,990.


5. Redmi Note 7

Redmi Note 7

The Redmi Note 7 is perfect for those on a tight budget of  Rs. 10,000. It is powered by the tried and tested Snapdragon 660 chipset coupled with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage for the base variant. It also has a 4000mAh battery with support for Quick Charge 4.0.

Of course, the SD 660 isn't as powerful as the chipsets on other devices on the list, however, it can run PUBG at low settings with almost no lag or frame drops. It also is the only device in its price range with a glass back.


Well, these are the top five best gaming smartphones currently available in India if you're on a budget.
Which smartphone would you pick? Let me know in the comments section below.

Oppo is on a smartphone release streak. The company has been launching new devices just about every second month. Its newest budget smartphone to launch is the Oppo Reno A which was launched today in Japan. The Reno A comes with a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with a FullHD+ resolution. Powering the device is the tried and tested Snapdragon 710 processor coupled with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage . Oppo's budget-oriented device has a decent 3600mAh battery which should get you through a day of use on a single charge. What's even more interesting is that the device comes with an IP67 water and dust resistant rating. It's still rare to see budget smartphones to have an official Ingress Protection rating so kudos to Oppo. On the rear, we get dual rear cameras.

However, given...

Is The Google Pixel 4 Waterproof?

Image
Google unveiled its flagship duo for the year, the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL . Both devices were heavily leaked before the launch and there isn't really anything new that surprised us. The Pixel 4 and 4 XL start at a price of  $799 and  $899 respectively and you might be wondering whether or not the Pixel 4 duo is waterproof. Well, you can ease your mind since the new flagship devices from Google indeed have an IP68 dust and water resistance rating. This means that the Pixel 4 duo should be able to survive being submerged under 1.5m of water for 30 minutes . Of course, it's worth noting that an Ingress Protection rating does not always guarantee that the device would always survive being submerged in water or exposed to dust. Nonetheless, while we weren't surprised by the specifications and features on the latest Pixel duo, what surprised is that the Pixel 4 duo would not be brought over to India. It seems Google has decided to skip one of the largest...
