Google has raised the minimum mandated storage for devices running Android 15, which may affect the ability for manufacturers to make the best cheap phones affordable to all.
The company has doubled the storage requirement for Android 15 phones to a minimum of 32GB. 75% of that 32GB must be allocated to the data partition – that includes all of the core apps, services and software. Since Android 13 it has been a minimum of 16GB, but as recently as Android 12 it was as low as 8GB.
