PUBG Mobile is somewhat of a mix between Fortnite and Call of Duty: Mobile. Not too long ago, it would have been considered crazy to believe a mobile game could run better on mobile than on Xbox. But after PUBG’s Mobile release on March 23, 2017, it now stands as proof that mobile games can compete with other gaming platforms. The game’s performance is no longer hindered by mobile device limitations. Tablets have come a long way in the last couple of years since mobile components are becoming increasingly better performance-wise. One great benefit that mobile devices offer, is their convenience, as they offer a very easy gaming setup – no mouse, no keyboard, and no table needed. It is absolutely remarkable that the game runs so well and it manages to fit all of PUBG Mobile features onto tiny touch screen displays. In this article, we are going to present which are the best tablets for PUBG.
Usually, the best-performing gaming tablets are some of the latest state-of-the-art models. But we also know that not everybody can afford a high-end flagship. Therefore we included some affordable choices that offer an incredible balance between price and performance and will run Genshin Impact smoothly.
The game can currently be played on Android, iOS, PC, XBox, and PS4. PUBG PC was developed and distributed by PUBG Corporation, located in Korea. With the increasing popularity of the franchise, Tencent Games reached out to them and developed a similar game for mobile. PUBG Mobile’s majority control is in the hands of Tencent Games, a company that also holds a large stake in the well-known Call of Duty: Mobile.

At first, I was strongly leaning toward buying this tablet, mainly due to its extremely affordable price. And if I would be limited on my budget this would definitely be my final choice. The level of performance and quality you get for the price is just mind-boggling.
Galaxy Tab A7 is a really nice tablet that is very easy to set up. It is more aimed toward entertainment use rather than work. But if this is your primary reason why you would like to buy a new tablet this one will work for you perfectly. The size of the display is OK and so is the resolution.
This tablet will have no problem running Candy Crush and similar games. But this is one of the most demanding games for tablets. And truth be told, this tablet won't be able to run the game at the highest graphics settings 100% smoothly. This is to be expected as this is a very affordable budget tablet powered by Snapdragon 662 which is less than recommended 845.
Nevertheless, if you lower the graphics settings you should still get a nice game experience. And if you don't mind some lagging then higher graphics settings are still an option. But if you want to crank up the graphics to the max and have it run really smoothly you should check other tablets on this list.
To make your decision easier check the video below and see how the game runs on this tablet. The sound in the video has some noise due to the volume being turned to the max. This will not happen if you use earphones or lower the volume of the speakers on the tablet.
- Great display.
- Decent battery life.
- Good speakers.
- Poor camera quality.
- Limited RAM.

This tablet is different from others on this list as it is more of a hybrid between a tablet and a laptop. It even comes with a Windows 10 preinstalled.
It has a 10th generation Intel i5 and it will run any game as smooth as butter, even at max graphics settings. But beware, playing games on this is more like playing games on a laptop. You do install the version for Windows on it so no on-screen controls. You will be playing this game with a keyboard and a mouse or a controller.
If you really want portability and on-screen controls this may not be the best option. Otherwise, I believe this is the PUBG
- Faster Intel 10th Gen CPU.
- Excellent performance.
- Great display.
- Nice design.
- Overall loss in battery life.

Now we are getting more into high-performance tablets that you will have no problem using for gaming, entertainment, or any work-related activities.
As you would expect from any Apple device, also here the design of the tablet does not disappoint and the build quality is excellent. A14 Bionic chipset paired with 4 GB of RAM and highly integrated iOS make the user experience very responsive. You will be able to play this game at the highest graphic settings at a very high frame rate.
Additionally using this device with the Pencil feels very intuitive and flawless which is perfect for taking handwritten notes or drawing. If you like Apple as a brand or just want an amazingly fast tablet you will not be disappointed with this one. It is for sure the PUBG
- Excellent screen.
- Great performance.
- Fast processor.
- High-end design.
- Internal storage should be expanded.

Similar to the phone S series the Galaxy Tab S7 is the flagship among Samsung tablets. In fact, it is one of the most powerful and versatile tablets on the market.
The 11-inch screen is absolutely beautiful and a joy to work with. It is just the right size for me. Those of you who may want a larger screen should consider the S7 Plus.
It is powered by a Snapdragon 865+ and coupled with 6 or 8 GB RAM. The hardware specs tell you this tablet will absolutely crush any task you throw at it. It is a great multipurpose tablet and most definitely also suitable for this game as well.
This tablet can be used for work too. In combination with a Bluetooth keyboard, it can basically turn into a small but very capable laptop. On the good side, it is still small and thin enough that it is much more portable than a classic laptop. You basically get PC performance with tablet portability.
The included S-pen performs great. The pressure detection feature is very accurate and the pen itself does not slip on the screen. So it is great also for digital art. Additionally, the S-pen shortcuts can be very handy.
This bundle includes a Bluetooth keyboard case which I absolutely love. If you are able to stretch your wallet this much I am sure you will be extremely happy with the decision.
It is perfect for entertainment as well as serious work and is, in my opinion, one of the PUBG.
- 120 Hz display.
- Fantastic battery life.
- Smooth performance.
- S pen included.
- Wide-angle rear camera is low-res.

Apple iPad Pro is another great high-end and high-performance tablet that is more than capable of running any game. You can buy one with 8 or 16 GB of RAM, depending on how much internal storage you need. You will likely not notice the difference in performance though unless you run some performance benchmark tests.
You can get one with an 11 or 12.9-inch display, depending on your preferences. It is the lightest and the fastest iPad Pro yet. The battery life is also excellent and comes with a 20 W fast charger. Overall, one of the PUBG, entertainment, and work in general.
- Lots of internal memory.
- Great and fast performance.
- Good battery life.
- Great chipset.
- Doesn’t feature an XDR display.
