Here we have another post for those who love the game ‘PLAYER UNKNOWN’S BATTLE GROUNDS’ popularly known as PUBG. In this post on NAIJAKNOWHOW, I will explore some of the best cheapest phones for playing PUBG Mobile not more than N70,000 Naira in Nigeria.
For those who don’t know much about this game, PUBG is a game where 100 players parachute onto a remote 8×8 km island for a winner-takes-all showdown. Players have to locate and scavenge their own weapons, vehicles and supplies, and defeat every player in a graphically and tactically rich battleground that forces players into a shrinking play zone. It requires you to loot, kill and do whatever it takes to survive and be the last man standing!
PLAYER UNKNOWN’S BATTLE GROUNDS goes mobile and it’s now available on more than 500+ devices! According to PUBG developers, here are the recommended specifications to play the game on any smartphone:
- Requires a persistent internet connection.
- Recommended specs for getting the most out of PUBG MOBILE: Android 5.1.1 or above and at least 2 GB RAM.
But the problem here is, a lot of mid-range devices have the recommended specification still most of them lag and don’t deliver the best experience when playing the game! Considering that not many people can afford the high-end smartphones such as Galaxy Note 8, Sony Xperia XZ1, Galaxy S8, Google Pixel 2, Galaxy Note 5, Huawei Honor 8, LG G5, Redmi 4A, Huawei P9, Sony Xperia X, Redmi Note 4 etc, there have to be some cheaper alternatives that can play this intriguing game flawlessly!
That said, I will be sharing a couple of affordable high-end smartphones with great specifications that can ensure a smooth and impeccable transition when playing the game.
If you don’t have money to buy some of the best gaming phones out there… then here are some of the cheapest and best phones for playing PUBG Mobile seamlessly! And they are not more than N70,000 Naira (approx. $200) in Nigeria.
So, let’s get down to business…

Xiaomi Note 7 Pro, right? If yes, then it works great for playing PUBG.

Yes but with the lowest graphics possible. The best advice, however, is to get devices in the midrange section (e.g, Xiaomi, Redmi Note 7, Redmi Note 7 Pro Redmi Note 8, Redmi Note 8 Pro, Samsung Galaxy A50, A60, A70 etc).
