What hardware requirements does Genymotion need to run Android 15?

Topic: Android Version Selection

Last verified against genymotion.com:

Android 15 needs at least a 6-core CPU and 8 GB of RAM to run normally. On Windows, Android 15 also has known compatibility issues, so Genymotion recommends Android 14 or lower there.

  • Minimum for Android 9 and above: 6 cores CPU and 8192 MB RAM on the local device, with stronger hardware recommended for smooth use.
  • Android 14 and above are listed as needing 4 CPU and 8 GB RAM in the general performance guidance, but the Windows troubleshooting page specifically says Android 9+ needs 6 cores and 8 GB RAM to operate normally.
  • On Windows, Android 15 may crash, freeze, or fail to boot because of known compatibility issues with that image. See The virtual device crashes, freezes or fails to boot on Windows and Genymotion Desktop is very slow and unstable.
