What is the minimum RAM required for Pokemon GO?
While poking around on Pokemon Go's Supported devices, it lists some specs required for Android and iOS devices. I'm particularly interested in Android devices, but I do not see a minimum/recommended RAM listed on their site.
- Android 4.4 to Android 6.0.1 (Android N will not supported until the official Android release)
- Preferred resolution of 720x1280 pixels (Not optimized for tablet)
- Strong internet connection (Wi-Fi, 3G, or 4G)
- GPS and Location Services
- Intel CPUs are not supported
My device is a Samsung Galaxy Express Prime, which has a 1.5GB RAM and Quad-Core processor. It runs fine for the most part, but a majority of the features heavily lags and are sluggish while I've seen the same features run smooth on other devices.
What is the minimum/recommended RAM for Pokemon Go to run more smoothly?
Best Answer
While Android 4.4 OS system's minimal RAM can be only 512mb, it would definitely not run Pokemon GO smoothly, if it would run in the first place.
In your case, I don't think Random Access Memory is the problem here. Your processor would more likely cause some lag.
Most Android devices have 2GB of RAM and that seems to do just fine amongst many players.
