Validated by Google

Android Enterprise Recommended establishes best practices and common requirements for devices and services, backed by a thorough testing process conducted by Google. Devices in the program meet an elevated set of specifications for hardware, deployment, security updates, and user experience to help organizations handle the most challenging and diverse business environments. In addition, OEMs in the program receive an enhanced level of technical support and training from Google.

Some of the Android Enterprise Recommended requirements and best practices include:

Minimum hardware specifications for Android 7.0+ devices

Support for bulk deployment of Android devices including zero-touch enrollment

Delivery of Android security updates within 90 days of release from Google, for a minimum of three years

Availability of unlocked devices, direct from manufacturer or reseller

Consistent application experience in managed profiles and on managed devices

The full list of Android Enterprise Recommended requirements can be found on our site.

With each new Android platform release, we will update the Android Enterprise Recommended program requirements, and continue to raise the bar to ensure we are delivering the best experience for our enterprise customers.
