How to Get Fortnite on Any Android Phone Right Now
When Epic Games first released Fortnite for Android earlier this year, it became available exclusively on Samsung devices. If you’re using a Galaxy S9 or Note 9, this was great news. If you had any other Android phone on the planet, that would be a bummer.
Epic officially made the game available to the general public this week. Whereas previously non-Samsung owners were required to join the invite list, the game is now available for anyone to download, as long as your phone meets the minimum requirements to play. Specifically, Android 8.0 or higher, 3GB RAM or higher, and Adreno 530 or higher (Qualcomm Snapdragon 820), Mali-G71 MP20 (Samsung Exynos 9 8895) or higher, Mali-G72 MP12 (Kirin 970) or higher.
