In case you didn't know, Google previously allowed device makers to use only 16GB of internal storage, enough to run the Android operating system, but no more than that. But, that could change soon. So, what should you know about it?
According to Android Authority, Google recently announced that starting with the Android 15 operating system, device manufacturers will need to ship their Android devices with a minimum of 32GB of internal storage, with 75 per cent of the storage not used by the operating system being allocated to user-downloadable applications.
This may seem strange, especially since most smartphones today come with at least 64GB to 128GB of storage, and for today's applications, even 256GB can be considered too little. However, this seems to be to reduce the production of "cheap devices" on the market that are difficult for those who buy them to use because there is not enough space for the applications they want to use.
For devices that want to run the Android 15 operating system, other basic requirements include the ability for the device to share emergency phone numbers with emergency services such as police, hospitals and firefighters, and the smart devices must also support Vulkan 1.3 graphics processing technology.
