Which Phones Are BGMI 120 FPS Supported Devices?
If you're wondering whether your phone can support Battlegrounds Mobile India at 120 FPS, you're not the only one. The BGMI 120 FPS compatible devices list is expanding, and I've tried it on a couple of devices to test the performance. In this article, I'll guide you through:
- What does it mean to support 120 FPS for BGMI
- A current, comprehensive list of Android and iOS devices confirmed to support 120 FPS
- How to enable it, my experiments, and trade-offs
- FAQs & tips for the best 120 FPS gaming experience
Let's get started.
Why 120 FPS Makes a Big Difference
If BGMI supports 120 FPS, animations, aiming, and movement are smoother and more fluid. Many players claim the difference is noticeable, especially during fast gunfights. It's not just about the hardware; most devices feature 120 Hz displays, but the frame rate is often limited by software or optimization.
I tried BGMI on the OnePlus 12 (which is listed) and observed the frame rate increase after changing settings. It was crisp, but the battery drained rapidly. So, supporting 120 FPS is part hardware, part software tuning.

How to Enable 120 FPS in BGMI (Step by Step)
Once your device is on the supported list, here's how I enabled 120 FPS:
- Update BGMI to the latest version from the Play Store or App Store.
- Start the game, go to Settings, and click the Graphics tab.
- In the Frame Rate section, look for the "Extreme 120 FPS / 120 FPS" option.
- Adjust the frame rate to 120 FPS or "Extreme +" if available.
- You may also need to enable High Performance in your device's game or system settings.
In my tests on OnePlus 12, the option was available after upgrading to BGMI 3.6. Prior to that, I only got up to 90 FPS.
If you're not seeing 120 FPS, your device may not support it, or the patch for your model hasn't been pushed yet.
My Observations & Trade-Offs
With the OnePlus 12, switching to 120 FPS made aiming and recoil feel smoother, especially in close fights. However:
- The battery drain was intense; within 30 minutes, I lost more battery than usual.
- The phone heated up, causing occasional FPS drops to 60 or 90 in long sessions.
- In forums, users reported that some Samsung devices are hardware-capable but limited due to pending patches.
While 120 FPS is great, it involves trade-offs in battery life, heat management, and reliability.
Tips to Get the Best 120 FPS Gaming Experience
- Use game coolers or play in a cool environment.
- Reduce other graphics settings (shadows, reflections) to ease stress.
- Enable High Performance or Gaming Mode in your phone’s settings.
- Avoid recording while playing; screen recorders often limit to 60 FPS and disable 120 FPS. (I tried this and lost the 120 FPS option mid-match.)
- Keep your phone’s software and BGMI app updated, as support often comes via patch updates.
