Is it necessary to buy an Android phone just to play PUBG

Hey guys so i installed pubg mobile on my $150 Android phone and it runs perfectly fine at low settings. I won the pubg match 2 times using an Android phone. Now my phone overheats and crashes while playing pubg. So I'm confused whether to buy a budget pc or an Android phone just to play pubg

Anyone please help

I have a core 2 duo PC with intel HD graphics but it cannot even handle rocket league. So i wanted an upgrade. so should i buy a budget pc or an Android phone just to play pubg???

Anyone help

If you're fine playing it on your phone, that's the cheapest way for sure. I just think a PC gives a better experience.

Just buy an R3 2200G with fast dual channel memory if you want a basic PC for PUBG/Fortnite

Mouse and Keyboard is likely loads better for control unless you can already use that on PUBG mobile.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Yeah, the better you perform the more you are matched against real players. First match I won with 12 kills on solo and now after 6 or so matches I'm dying quite often.

I mean there not the same game but do give a similar experiance if your fine playing on the phone. 

 

The PC version has more buildings more Details  better frames Better Graphics  WAY more fluid playing. ect ect. They are not the same game but the mobile is meant to be as close as possible with still being able to be played on mobile.

 

Also Mobile isnt full of real players many bots.

Actually i have some practice to play battle royale games so i won first two matches

The third match was legendary match because my phone is overheating and only 20 member left to kill but my phone crashed

Sorry, I meant to say "get an Xbone"

 

And I'm fairly sure you could get an Xbone and cheap a 1080p TV for less than some flagship model phones ;)

You don't need a flagship phone to run PUBG at all...and the Nubia gaming phone is quite cheap.
