Android 15 devices require at least 32GB of storage
This is double the previous requirement
They also require the ability to share emergency contacts with emergency services
If you’re reading this site then – as a tech fan – there’s a good chance your phone has 128GB of storage or more, but that’s not true of all handsets. In fact, some Android phones ship with just 16GB of storage. With Android 15 though, that’s no longer allowed.
Digging into a GMS (Google Mobile Services) requirements document, Android Authority has found that Google has raised the minimum storage requirement from 16GB to 32GB for any devices that ship with or get updated to Android 15.
At least 75% of that storage must be allocated to the data partition, which is the area used for apps and files.
