Hardware

The capital accouterments belvedere for Android is the 32-bit ARMv7 architecture. The Android-x86 activity provides abutment for the x86 architecture,[9] and Google TV uses a appropriate x86 adaptation of Android. In 2012, Intel processors began to arise on added boilerplate Android platforms, such as phones.[78] In 2013, Freescale appear abutment for Android on its i.MX processor, accurately the i.MX5X and i.MX6X series.[79]

As of November 2013, accepted versions of Android acclaim at atomic 512 MB of RAM[80] (with 340 MB as a requirement[81]), and crave a 32-bit ARMv7, MIPS or x86 architectonics processor (latter two through actionable ports),[9][82] calm with an OpenGL ES 2.0 accordant cartoon processing assemblage (GPU).[83] Android supports OpenGL ES 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0. Some applications absolutely crave a assertive adaptation of the OpenGL ES, appropriately acceptable GPU accouterments is appropriate to run such applications.[83]

In accession to active anon on x86-based hardware, Android can aswell be run on x86 architectonics by application an Android adversary which is allotment of the Android SDK, or by application BlueStacks[84][85] or Andy.[86]

Android accessories absorb abounding alternative accouterments components, including still or video cameras, GPS, acclimatization sensors, committed gaming controls, accelerometers, gyroscopes, barometers, magnetometers, adjacency sensors, burden sensors, thermometers, and touchscreens. Some accouterments apparatus are not required, but became accepted in assertive classes of devices, such as smartphones, and added requirements administer if they are present. Some added accouterments was initially required, but those requirements accept been airy or alone altogether. For example, as Android was developed initially as a buzz OS, accouterments such as microphones were required, while over time the buzz action became optional.[64] Android acclimated to crave an autofocus camera, which was airy to a fixed-focus camera[64] if it is even present at all, back the camera was alone as a claim absolutely if Android started to be acclimated on set-top boxes.
