What hardware requirements does Genymotion need to run Android 15?
**Hardware Requirements to Run Android 15 with Genymotion Desktop**
| Requirement | Recommended Value (Android 15) | Comment |
|-------------|-------------------------------|----------|
| **CPU** | 6 cores (Intel Core i5 64-bit, AMD Ryzen 5 or higher) | Android 15 is demanding; 4 cores are the minimum, but 6 provide better performance. |
| **RAM** | 16 GB (minimum 12 GB) | The document “Genymotion Desktop is very slow and unstable” recommends 8 GB for Android 14+, but 16 GB guarantee stability. |
| **GPU** | NVIDIA GeForce 8 series or higher / AMD Radeon R600 or higher (OpenGL ES 3.0+) | Intel UHD/HD integrated GPUs in Windows may experience performance issues; prefer a discrete GPU. |
| **Storage** | 120 MB for Genymotion + 1 GB per virtual device (Android 15) | For multiple devices, consider 4 GB additional per VM. |
| **Screen Resolution** | 1920 × 1080 or higher | Improves the development experience. |
| **Virtualization** | VT-x / AMD-V enabled in BIOS/UEFI | Required for VirtualBox to work. |
| **Operating System** | Windows 10 / 11 Home/Pro/Enterprise, macOS Ventura + or Linux (latest distribution) | Windows 7 and earlier are not compatible. |
| **Other** | Disable Hyper-V (Windows) | Hyper-V causes performance issues with VirtualBox. |
> **Practical Tip**: If your machine has an Intel integrated GPU in Windows, consider using Linux or changing the GPU profile to “High performance” in the Genymotion settings panel.
With these requirements, Genymotion Desktop will run Android 15 stably and with good performance. 🚀
