Why is the requirements for graphics so high.

[Android Central Question]

Just let play fortnite with more devices, there are no more than 50 Android phones that can play fortnite and 20 of them are Samsung and are expensive and even the remaining require you to sell your kidney for a phone. Epic Why.

The developer could tell you.

Most likely, the game uses a lot of video functions that are on the GPU, so if you have a phone with a GPU that doesn't have those functions (i.e. a cheaper phone), the game won't work.

It's like asking why you have to use trucks with long beds to carry tall trees - why can't you carry a load of them in your tiny subcompact car.

Play the game on a phone with a Mali T720 GPU and it probably just won't show anything.

Perhaps you could learn to become an app developer or chip engineer to improve app or chip design, if you think it should work on any old phone.:-\

Well...let's look at it a different way. You probably could play on a lot more devices...you just wouldn't want to. Poor resolution, and frame drops so bad you'd think you were looking at a screenshot.

For performance reasons, that's why not all Android devices can run it.
