But often these are not fit for business needs as they fail to address the basic enterprise standards such as minimum hardware specifications, consistent application experience, device deployment challenges and inherent security needs. It can be intimidating for businesses to choose a device that is appropriate for enterprise use.<\/span><\/p>\n Google launched the <\/span>Android Enterprise Recommended program<\/i><\/b> to help businesses counter these challenges. <\/span>With this program, Google<\/span> highlights the handsets which meet the guidelines and can handle the most challenging and diverse environments in businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Handsets running on Android 7.0+<\/strong> handsets and above must have the following criteria specified by Google: <\/span><\/p>\n Google<\/strong> has certified <\/span>and listed these<\/span> OEM devices which meet all these criteria.
