With over 2 billion Android devices in use worldwide, many of which are deployed in enterprise environments, the needs of devices in enterprise settings include continuous and timely software security updates, device simplification, and consistent software. To address these needs, Google has begun granting Android Enterprise Recommended certification, with the aim of serving as an excellent tool for enterprise devices and services.
Google states that its latest initiative is setting standards for Android devices and services, and any device participating in Android Enterprise Recommended must undergo testing conducted by the company. OEMs with products eligible for Android Enterprise will also receive technical training directly from Google.
The minimum requirements for a device to qualify for the program include:
- Minimum hardware specifications for devices running Android 7.0 and above. If not on Android 7.0 yet, refer to how to update Android here.
- Support for deploying batches of Android devices including deployment methods such as 'including zero-touch enrollment.'
- Providing Android security updates within 90 days of Google's release date, for a minimum of 3 years.
- Availability of unlocked devices directly from the manufacturer or reseller.
- Consistent app experience in profile management and device management.
Google also emphasizes that the minimum requirements above will be regularly updated with each new platform release to ensure OEMs continue to develop high-quality devices and experiences.
Currently, the following smartphone lines are participating in the Android Enterprise Recommended program:
- BlackBerry KEYone and Motion.
- Google Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2, and Pixel 2 XL.
- Huawei Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro, P10, P10 Plus, P10 Lite, and P smart.
- LG V30 and G6.
- Motorola X4 and Z2.
- Nokia 8.
- Sony Xperia XZ1, XZ1 Compact, XZ Premium, XA2, and XA2 Ultra.
Google states that in the future, more new devices will be added to this program. Additionally, the Android Enterprise framework will also be applied to other partners, including OEMs developing devices, mobile operators, and system integrators.
