Google Updates Minimum Requirements for Android 15

Swift Summary

• Android 15 Requirements: Google has increased the minimum storage and RAM specifications for devices eligible to run Android 15 under its new guidelines.

– Devices must have a minimum of 32GB in storage, up from the previous threshold of 16GB.
– Minimum RAM remains at 2GB for Android Go edition, but now even devices with 3GB RAM will need to use the stripped-down Android Go edition to optimize performance. Devices with 4GB RAM can optionally use the Go edition.

• Google Mobile Services (GMS), essential for accessing features like Play Store, requires adherence to these specs. Non-compliant devices loose GMS access, considerably impacting user experience.
• These updates are aimed at enhancing device performance without being overly demanding on manufacturers, as these requirements are already well below mid-range and high-end phone capabilities.
