The Fortnite Mobile minimum spec requirements read as follows:

It may be possible to use an earlier Android version, but Android 8.0 is recommended as it substantially improves the stability and performance of Fortnite. With earlier versions of the Android OS you will encounter significant performance issues.

While the majority of current HONOR smartphones run Android 8.0 or higher, it is the speed and performance of the graphics processor unit (GPU) that is critical, so currently it is the HONOR smartphones with Mali-G72 MP 12 GPUs that are best suited to playing Fortnite Mobile. The line-up is as follows:

GPU Turbo

One of the latest enhancements from HONOR to dramatically improve gaming performance is GPU Turbo. It is one of the key features in the HONOR Play, but it is also used on the HONOR 10 and it will become available as an update for other devices. GPU Turbo automatically recognises when a graphically demanding game such as Fortnite is launched, improving graphic performance by 60% while reducing power losses by 30%. You may also notice an improvement in frame rate, or frames per second (FPS). Independent tests on gaming applications have shown a higher, more consistent frame rate and improvement in battery efficiency.
