PUBG Mobile Looks Awfully Weird on the Galaxy Tab S4

UPDATE [26/10/18]: The new update to PUBG Mobile (0.nine.0.9635) looks a lot better both in terms of graphics, and anti-aliasing on the Tab S4.

Original content follows beneath:

Samsung'south recently launched Galaxy Tab S4 (Rs. 57,900) might have the Snapdragon 835 from last year, but information technology is by no means a poorly performing tablet. It can handle any task you throw at information technology and it won't let you down. However, speaking of tasks you can throw at the tablet, if you lot were thinking of playing PUBG on the large x.5-inch sAMOLED brandish of the Tab S4 and get chicken dinners in a breeze, yous're in for a little shock.

PUBG Mobile on the Tab S4 Looks Awful

Don't get me wrong, that heading kind of makes it sound like PUBG Mobile won't run on the highest graphics or something just it does. PUBG Mobile runs on the highest graphics with Ultra frame rate on the Tab S4 and it doesn't even suspension a sweat. It does, notwithstanding, look bad enough that y'all might want to break it.

Check out the screenshot below. Run into those humungous HUD icons? Does it expect similar the kind of prepare up you want to play in? If it does, well, past all ways get ahead and bask, only I'chiliad sure it doesn't expect good to a majority of people and that'south sort of obvious. The fire buttons are so huge you end up borer them without ever significant to, and they basically get out no space to elevate your finger around and aim properly. If you end upwardly playing in War Way on the Tab S4, and if yous driblet into a Sniper round, yous're screwed. Really. You'll end up firing your Kar98 at the most inoppurtune times, and when you lot really spot an enemy, first you won't be able to aim properly, and once y'all do aim, chances are you'll be reloading your rifle. It's but bad.

Not to mention the quite obvious issue with playing on a tablet, information technology's not as easy to utilise the buttons towards the inside of the display considering your fingers will have trouble reaching that far. It honestly takes concious attempt to properly tap a lot of the controls hither.

Let me clarify something here. By no means is this a problem acquired by the Tab S4. No, this is a problem that'southward acquired but because of the mode PUBG Mobile decides to handle the large display on this tablet. Instead of making the most out of a big brandish and letting the player meet a bigger expanse, PUBG Mobile only stretches the game to fill up the display – that's why y'all take abnormally big icons, buildings with clear anti-aliasing bug, and an obvious mistiness and fierce effect all over the HUD.

If you don't believe this could be the programmer's mistake, take a expect at Fortnite on the Tab S4. The HUD is perfectly sized in Fortnite every bit you can encounter in the screenshot below, and fifty-fifty though Fortnite on Android is a terrible mess, it'southward notwithstanding a lot ameliorate as an feel on the Tab S4 than PUBG Mobile is, at least right now.

I'm pretty certain that if Tencent games were to optimize their game for larger screens like the i on the Tab S4, it could look stunning on this massive 2560×1600 sAMOLED display, only until that happens (and I don't know if it will) playing PUBG Mobile on the Tab S4 (Rs. 57,900) will remain an excercise in frustration.
