Every Galaxy S23, S24, S25 and S26 model can run PUBG Mobile at 120 FPS (Ultra Extreme), including the base S23 and both the Exynos and Snapdragon versions of the S24. The S23 series, S24 series and Z Fold5 received 120 FPS in Version 3.2 (May 2024); the S25 and S26 families meet the official chipset rule added in Version 4.4. To turn it on, set the screen's Motion smoothness to Adaptive (120 Hz), then choose Smooth graphics and Ultra Extreme in the game.
Updated 6 November 2026 for PUBG Mobile 4.6. Version 4.7 is due on 12 November.
Samsung Galaxy PUBG Mobile FPS: S23, S24, S25, S26

Galaxy S26 Ultra | Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy | 120 | meets the V4.4 chipset rule |
Galaxy Z Fold5 | Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy | 120 | Version 3.2 |
Galaxy Z Fold6 / Z Fold7, Z Flip6 / Z Flip7 | Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 / 8 Elite / Exynos 2500 | 120 | meets the V4.4 chipset rule |
Galaxy S22 Ultra, S21 Ultra (Snapdragon), Z Fold4, Tab S9 series | older Snapdragon | 90 (named in patch notes) | Version 2.8 |
Galaxy S23 FE, S24 FE, S25 FE | FE chips | not confirmed for 120 — check in-game | — |
Version 4.4 (May 2026) set the Android minimum for 120 FPS at Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Dimensity 9300+ / 8400, Exynos 2400 or newer, plus devices that pass testing. That is why the S23 (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2) keeps 120 FPS from its earlier approval, while the FE models are not confirmed. Other brands: full PUBG Mobile 120 FPS device list.
S23 vs S24 vs S25 vs S26 for PUBG
All four generations reach 120 FPS, so the difference is how long they hold it. Newer chips run cooler at the same load, and the Ultra models have the largest batteries and vapor chambers in each generation. The S24 Ultra has 12 GB of RAM; PUBG Mobile does not need more. If you are choosing between models for gaming, the S25 or S26 Ultra will hold 120 FPS longest; an S23 is still fully supported.

Before you start: phone settings
Settings → Display → Motion smoothness → Adaptive. Adaptive allows up to 120 Hz; Standard locks the screen at 60 Hz and hides Ultra Extreme.
Turn off Power saving (Settings → Battery). It can limit the refresh rate and CPU speed.
Update the game, Game Booster and Game Optimizing Service from the Galaxy Store; Samsung delivered its PUBG 120 FPS optimisation through these apps.
Keep a few GB of free storage for updates.
Samsung Game Booster settings
Game Booster (open it from Gaming Hub or the game toolbar while playing) decides how hard the phone works in games. For PUBG Mobile at 120 FPS:
Choose the performance-focused game performance option instead of battery saving. The exact wording changes between One UI versions.
Turn off any "limit FPS" or frame-rate saving option for PUBG Mobile.
Optional: block notifications during games so pop-ups do not interrupt fights.
Higher performance also means more heat and battery use; if the phone gets very hot, a balanced profile at 90 FPS can feel smoother than a throttled 120.
PUBG Mobile graphics settings for 120 FPS
Setting | Value |
|---|
Graphics | Smooth (needed for 120) |
Frame Rate | Ultra Extreme |
Anti-aliasing | Off |
Shadows | Off |
Auto-adjust graphics | Off |
HD and HDR graphics allow up to 90 FPS on select devices; Ultra HDR allows 60. Restart the game after changing the frame rate.
Check your real frame rate
To confirm the screen is running at 120 Hz, enable Developer options (Settings → About phone → Software information → tap Build number seven times), then turn on Show refresh rate. The overlay should read 120 during a match. The in-game FPS display shows the game's own frame rate.
Heat management
Remove thick cases during long sessions.
Do not charge while playing at 120 FPS.
Play in a cool room and take breaks between matches.
A clip-on phone cooler helps hold 120 FPS longer, especially on the S23 and S24.
Troubleshooting
Ultra Extreme does not appear: set Motion smoothness to Adaptive, set Graphics to Smooth, turn off Power saving and update the game. If you have an FE model, it may simply not be enabled yet.
120 selected but the overlay shows 60: check Power saving and Game Booster's settings, then restart the phone.
Drops after 15–20 minutes: the phone is getting hot. Remove the case, unplug the charger, or switch to 90 FPS.
