It's great to see mobile gaming advancing so fast, device-wise. Smartphones and portable devices are getting more and more capability with higher refresh rates, better resolution, faster processors,... All of these elements combined signals a promising future for the gaming industry.

However, having a phone with a high refresh rate doesn't necessarily mean you can utilize it all. The phone may not be compatible or the game developers haven't updated the high refresh rate option yet. That is the case with COD Mobile 120 FPS supported devices.

Very few devices are compatible with COD Mobile 120 FPS.

List of COD Mobile 120 FPS supported devices

It has been months since Activision announced its plan to enable the "Ultra" FPS option on Call of Duty: Mobile. This feature will allow players to enjoy the game at a whopping 120 frames per second. Yet, so far, we only see a handful of devices can use the "Ultra" FPS option, even though there are a lot of phones with 120Hz screen on the market.

Here are a few devices that support COD Mobile at 120 FPS.

Sony Xperia 5 II

This is the official phone for Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship 2020. The Sony Xperia 5 II is the first phone to support COD Mobile 120 FPS. And it seems like the feature is exclusive to the model, so far.

Activision sent an in-game mail to all players last October to announce that the game has been optimized for 120 FPS. Yet, the support was only available on the Sony Xperia 5 II. Almost a year later, things haven't changed much.

Want something reliable for COD Mobile, choose the Sony Xperia 5 II.

COD Mobile 120 FPS iPad

COD Mobile 120 FPS option only works on the iPad Pro lineup, which has Apple's ProMotion technology. The safest choice to go for will be the latest iPad Pro 11 2021 with the company's famous M1 processor.

Xiaomi Poco X3

Xiaomi also joins the list of COD Mobile 120 FPS supported devices with its new budget Poco X3 NFC and Poco X3 Pro models.

The Poco X3 lineup is actually very good for gaming phones.

Call Of Duty Mobile 120 FPS Samsung: is it available?

Samsung has released multiple smartphones model with a 120 Hz screen. But we're sorry to inform you that Call of Duty: Mobile hasn't been optimized for 120 FPS on any Samsung devices. Samsung is currently one of the biggest smartphone manufacturers in the world. They make up a market too big for mobile games to miss.

However, some players point to the Samsung Game Launcher as the main cause of the problem. It actually forces games to run at 60 FPS only. Several gamers suggest using ADB to uninstall "Game Optimizing Services" and reboot the phone. They claim it'll help with COD Mobile 120 FPS unlock.

Samsung owners simply have to wait.

COD Mobile 120 FPS option

Activision first announced their plan for the 120 FPS option on COD Mobile back in Season 6 of the game. In fact, we actually heard the news from various leaks and data miners before the game developers confirmed it.

The 120 FPS option was the one thing that excites fans of COD Mobile the most. Activision even rallied up some players and offered them a chance to test out this feature firsthand.

COD Mobile players can now pump up their frame rate settings to Ultra. It gives an experience of 120 FPS shooting gameplay, but only in Multiplayer Mode. On top of that, you can only enable 120 FPS low and medium graphics, which is a total shame.

With that said, having a 120 FPS option is still fantastic. Other games like BGMI only support 90 frames per second. So imagine how smoothly your gaming experience will be with 120 FPS.

Call of Duty: Mobile, as the base game, is already fast and smooth. The 120 FPS certainly adds to the level of fluidity of the game and those with the tech to support it will surely enjoy unleashing this 120 FPS beast.

Notice how the game looks much smoother at 120 FPS.

Why aren't there many COD Mobile 120 FPS supported devices?

Though the Ultra 120 FPS option has been out for months now, not many devices actually support it. That's a strange thing to hear, isn't it? We can easily list out at least a dozen of smartphones and portable devices that currently have a 120Hz refresh rate screen like the OnePlus 9 series, Redmi Note 10 Pro and 10 Pro Max, ASUS ROG Phone 5,...

Of course, a 120 Hz display will be the norm of next-generation phones. But for some reason, only a few can support Call of Duty Mobile 120 FPS. Apparently, there's a problem with the game's compatibility with high-refresh-rate phones.

We think the issue lies in the way how the devs optimize the game. Maybe they need a little more time to tune COD Mobile for different systems.

Not all devices can turn on the Ultra option.
