Fortnite on Fairphone 2

[Danilo]

Hello.

I’m considering buying a FP2 for my 12 yo son. But Fortnite-compatibility is a must have. The official page doesn’t list it among the tested smartphones (how surprising) : https://epicgames.helpshift.com/a/fortnite/?s=android&f=what-android-devices-are-compatible-with-fortnite-on-mobile&p=all

But it lists the minimum requirements :

Android 64 bits, 8.0 or better
RAM : 3 Go or more
Adreno 530 or better, Mali-G71 MP20, Mali-G72 MP12 or better

I read that Android 7.1 arrived on the FP2, are there plans for 8.0 soon?

Wow, that are minimum requirements
With LineageOS you can have Android 8.1. But unfortunately FP2 has only a 32bit CPU and 2GB RAM. So the minimum requirements are not set.

I’d rather try to convince your son that Tetris or Snake are really cool games
Seriously: None of the FP2 components seems to meet the requirements. The Snapdragon 801 has a 32 bit cpu, Android 8 is far, far away, RAM is only 2 GB, Adreno 330 in the FP2 will probably be not as good as Adreno 530 without having looked up the exact numbers. No, that won’t fit.
