Google has a ‘RAM message’ for Android smartphone companies

Internet search giant Google is reportedly going to set a 2GB minimum RAM limit for Android phones to be able to receive Android 11 update.

According to a report by XDA Developers, a leaked copy of Google’s “Android 11 Go edition Device Configuration Guide” has a requirement that says, “Starting in Q4 2020, all new PRODUCTS launching with Android 10, if they have 2GB RAM or less, MUST return true for ActivityManager.isLowRamDevice() API, and launch as an Android Go device.”
