Requirements, size, and FPS

The launch press release is the publisher's hardware line: devices with at least 2 GB of RAM, and frame caps at 25, 30, 40, or 60 depending on the phone. Uptodown reports Android 5.0 or newer (1 source); that system minimum is not printed in the visible Play description. The App Store adds iOS 13.0 or newer. A full CPU and GPU minimum is not in that press release, so I do not invent a chip list.

Erangel and Classic are in the first install, which both Play and the explainer say. The research snapshot records Miramar at 331 MB and Rondo at 465 MB from PocketGamer.biz (one source, beta-era packs); the article returned HTTP 403 during this review, so these are historical reported figures. I mark Rondo as a beta figure because that is how the article phrases it. WOW, events, Metro Royale, and themed mode appear as cards in the official video, and the video shows a clear action around 1.5 GB, but it does not assign a size to each card. Those sizes stay empty.

Explainer frame about optional downloads and frame rate
Official explainer: 40 FPS versus 60 FPS, and a note that unused resources can be removed.

Third-party chip names

The earlier research snapshot attributed Snapdragon 435 or MediaTek P20-class chips to Sportsdunia (one source). That article returned HTTP 403 during this review; these chip names are historical reported suggestions, not official minimums. Uptodown mentions a Super Smooth graphics step and also says Android 5.0. I keep the chip names in this paragraph with a one-source label, and I keep them out of the official table above. The press release’s 2 GB RAM line is corroborated by Tbreak’s independent launch coverage; the RAM figure is a publisher minimum, not a measured result for a named phone.

FAQ

Will a 2 GB phone run Flash?
The press release says the client supports a 2 GB RAM minimum. It does not publish a frame-rate result for a named 2 GB phone.
How big is the download?
Under 0.96 GB on Play, 1.1 GB for the official APK, under 1.75 GB on iOS. Three figures, not one.
Which maps are included?
Erangel and Classic battle royale. Miramar and Rondo are extra downloads in the PocketGamer.biz sizes.
What FPS options exist?
25, 30, 40, and 60, chosen from what the device can hold, according to the press release.
