Fortnite is a relatively resource-heavy game, even on PCs. While you can run it on the lowest settings and still get a somewhat acceptable frame rate, you lose a lot of the game's immersive experience that way. Fortnite has been out on iOS for a while and it doesn't support a lot of older Apple devices such as the iPhone 5S, 6, 6 Plus; iPad Air, Mini 2, Mini 3 and iPod Touch. The Android version of the game is expected to release sometime next month alongside the Galaxy Note 9. XDA Developers managed to get a list of all devices that you can run Fortnite on. Here it is:
- Google Pixel 2
- Google Pixel 2 XL
- Huawei Mate 10
- Huawei Mate 10 Lite
- Huawei Mate 10 Pro
- Huawei P10
- Huawei P10 Plus
- Huawei P10 Lite
- Huawei P9
- Huawei P9 Lite
- Huawei P8 Lite (2017)
- LG G6
- LG V30
- LG V30+
- Motorola Moto E4 Plus
- Motorola Moto G5
- Motorola Moto G5 Plus
- Motorola Moto G5s
- Motorola Moto Z2 Play
- Nokia 6
- Razer Phone
- Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017)
- Samsung Galaxy A7 (2017)
- Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime (2017)
- Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro (2017)
- Samsung Galaxy Note 8
- Samsung Galaxy On7 (2016)
- Samsung Galaxy S9
- Samsung Galaxy S9+
- Samsung Galaxy S7
- Samsung Galaxy S7 edge
- Samsung Galaxy S8
- Samsung Galaxy S8+
- Sony Xperia XA1
- Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra
- Sony Xperia XA1 Plus
- Sony Xperia XZ
- Sony Xperia XZs
- Sony Xperia XZ1
The list is missing some big names such as the Google Pixel, Pixel XL, the Essential Phone, the LG G7 Thinq and all OnePlus phones. The devices are more than capable of running Fortnite and should ideally make it to a revised version of the list. Judging by the phones on the list, the minimum specifications for Fortnite Mobile on Android seem to be having a CPU on par with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 430, MediaTek MT6737, Exynos 7870, or HiSilicon Kirin 655 and an Adreno 505 and Mali-T720 for the GPU along with 3GB of RAM. The above list is incomplete and more device will be likely added to it after Epic Games concludes its beta tests. If you're running a new device such as the Nokia X5 that isn't on the list, the chances are that you'll be able to run Fortnite without any problems.
