PUBG Mobile now uses the new 90 fps mode, but how exactly is 90 fps different when it comes to gameplay? We played PUBG Mobile on OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro in different graphics settings to compare 30fps, 60fps, and smooth gameplay at 90fps. We can say that there is a noticeable difference in the gameplay when you run it at 90 fps smoothly.

Speaking of PUBG Mobile's performance, 90 fps is 50% smoother than 60 fps which are Extreme frame rate settings in PUBG and 100% smoother than 30 fps which are frame rate settings Ultra. So for those who want much smoother gameplay beyond the extreme frame rate option, 90 fps is ideal.

The refresh rate on a smartphone counts the number of times the screen is refreshed every second it is turned on. A 60 Hz screen refreshes 60 times per second while a 90 Hz screen refreshes 90 times per second. Choosing a 90 Hz display will allow the user to play games at up to 90 frames per second. If a 90Hz display generates a new image with every refresh, it's smooth, that's a 50% increase, after all.

OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro both have a 90Hz refresh rate, in fact last year's OnePlus models, OnePlus 7T Pro, OnePlus 7T, and OnePlus 7 Pro also feature a 90Hz AMOLED panel. This means that gamers with OnePlus phones that have a 90Hz screen have an advantage over their opponents by using a normal 60Hz screen.

In our 90 fps gaming experience, the game was relatively smoother than the 30 fps and 60 fps graphics settings, i.e. Ultra and Extreme frame rate settings. The only downside is that you will end up running the game only at the lowest graphics, you will not be able to play the game at maximum graphics (in this case HDR sound) while maintaining 90fps.

So at the expense of graphics quality, you will be able to run the game in 90 fps mode, this is useful if you are playing a ranked match. You may be able to kill players before taking a hit with the 90 fps mode. A typical smartphone with 60 Hz with 30/60 fps comparatively delayed player actions, 90 Hz with 90 fps has an advantage.

With the game running at 90 frames per second, it improves the gameplay as a whole, whether you are doing actions like running, using glasses, aiming and shooting, driving or any fast moving action, the result is relatively faster and better. fluid than the 30. / 60 fps mode.
