- Adreno 530 or newer;

Modified versions and the risk of downloading them
To play Fortnite on mobile, it is preferable to use the original Epic Games downloads. Third-party versions made by external developers can complicate the game significantly.
For example, there are a number of user-generated APK files that have nothing to do with the official Battle Royale content. By downloading modified versions of ARC to your mobile device, you risk losing your account and being blocked in the game, as well as bringing viruses to your phone along with unknown content.
