why is graphic options restricted?

i understand the game is trying to be as optimized ad possible especially since it is a mobile game, but many if not all other mobile games have the option to test higher graphics quality presets and apply them, it is really annoying since my honor x9a runs on a snapdragon 685 and some devices with worse performance have way better quality presets, just enable the option to change fps/ graphics in the game, there is no reason at all for graphical option to be restricted. IT IS JUST VERY VERY ANNOYING i want my game to be smooth and look good, and if I know my device is capable of it , i will do it, im very sure many other poeple would also want this. this mostly happens on andriod devices, EA just assumes that Iphone can handle the game while android cant, capping any option to increasy graphics

You also need to keep in mind that X9A, by today's hardware standards, would be a low-tier entry mobile as Snapdragon 685 is a rather outdated processor if you place it against the newer low-end Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chips, so it will be limited with what any game dev (not just EA) would allow, so the game still works.
The brutal reality is, you need a faster phone to keep up with the demands of a complex game like FCM.

Yep - there are some issues with the hardware in some top Android devices that make them incompatible with the FC Mobile high end graphics - the team has been working on it for a while, but I feel like maybe there are some compatibility issues that they are not able to overcome with some device components.

They understand the frustrations though, and continue to try and get as widespread compatibility as possible

I've done a benchmark test and my device would be able to run fcm smoothly at 90fps with the "high quality" preset but I'm not allowed to even choose it it's the lowest setting

Still, it's rather old hardware, released with the now ancient Android OS 12, unsupported for a year (unless you managed to upgrade it to a newer AOS).
Anyway, as Mendoza already said, some optimisation is being worked on behind the scenes. Android-based phones have a lot more variety with various versions of OS over Apple, so it's a lot more complex issue for devs to sort, especially with lesser known brand as Honor.
