In my case, I was frustrated due to my Galaxy Note 4 with Unofficial custom ROM. I have the Indian version of Samsung Galaxy Note 4 model number SM-N910G which has 3GB of RAM and Snapdragon 805. My phone has all the requirements that PUBG mobile requires like Storage, RAM, and process. But I was not able to play PUBG mobile on my phone. Later, after researching and investing the time I got to know the reason why I wasn’t able to play Player Unknown Battleground.

It’s because I have rooted my phone and installed other root apps which were causing the PUBG mobile game from running.

So, I downloaded and installed the official ROM from Samsung website. And after complete bootup, I disabled all the system apps possible like Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Page, and other official Samsung apps. And then installed the PUBG mobile and bang.

  1. First, make sure your Galaxy Note 4 has running Lollipop or Marshmallow Android version. To check Android version in Galaxy Note 4, go to settings>about device>see Android version.

  4. Unroot your Samsung Galaxy Note 4 if you have rooted. For security reason, PUBG mobile has restricted or doesn’t allow devices which are rooted and has modified ROM.
  5. Now, download and install the PUBG mobile game on your Galaxy Note 4. I recommend the Google play store platform for that purpose. Because if you download from some third-party websites then it may not work properly. You will get an error like “the app is not purchased”.
  6. Once installed, open the Smart Manager and press on Clean All button. Smart Manager is an inbuilt tool in Galaxy Note 4 and using that you can fix most of the problem in your Galaxy Note 4.
  7. Launch the PUBG Mobile game, and wait for checking updates.
  8. Log in with your Facebook account. I highly prefer logging in with Facebook instead of Twitter.
  9. Once you logged in, skip all the offers for now and press the setting button. For best control in the game, you need to select a layout and customize it for suitable controlling.
  10. Press on control option from settings and select the First layout. For the majority of you, I recommend the first layout because it made for all the players.
  11. Once Control layout selected, press on Customize and change buttons if you want. Like the size of the fire button, move the button from one place to another.
  12. After, just save the layout and exit the customization window.
  13. Now, go back to the home page of PUBG Mobile and select the Map and team type like Solo, Duo, Squad, etc.
  14. And then press the Start button to start matching.
  15. Done.

So, that’s how you can play PUBG mobile on your Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Once you log in, the graphics setting will get set automatically based on the phone performance. In my case, its get set automatically to low graphics and Medium FPS. You can also change the Graphics from settings if you want but I recommend to not change anything in graphics option.
