Is Pokemon Go compatible with my phone or tablet?

Is Pokemon Go compatible with my phone or tablet?

Before anything else, we must know first if the official requirements were met by our devices. Here’s what you need to play Pokémon Go:

  • Android 4.4 to Android 6.0.1
    You need a device that runs Android Kitkat at least to Android Marshmallow. Android 7.0 Nougat will not be supported until the official Android release. Some Nexus devices users under the Android Nougat Developer Program have reported that they were able to run the game at least for now.
  • iPhone 5+ / iOS 8+
    5th-generation iPhones and above are only supported. Take note also that your device should be running in iOS 8 and above for you to play the game.
  • Preferred resolution of 1280×720 pixels (Not optimized for tablet)
    Your display must be at least in HD resolution for you to run the game in a more optimal settings. Tablets with a higher resolution will surely be compatible with the game.
  • Strong internet connection (Wi-Fi, 3G, or 4G)
    Pokemon Go is an online game. Thus, your device needs to be connected into the internet for you to play it. Keep an eye on your data usage because it will surely consume a large of amount of data.
  • GPS and Location Services
    Some of you may be curious while your character doesn’t move or walk, well, the main reason why is that your GPS or location services are disabled. Be sure to set it to ON because this particular setting will determine your location and nearby places where you can catch Pokemon and find PokeStops and Gyms.

    Asus Zenphone 5 and Starmobile Click Play (The Smart Promo Phone)
    Both of them aren’t compatible for Pokemon Go.

    oooooh, hindi compatible sa nokia 5110 ko! ;)

    sabi nila, walang basagan ng trip… nung dumating yung ragnarok, hindi ako sumali…kasi starcraft: broodwar (pc) loyal fan ako… hanggang ngayon patuloy pa ring naglalaro nito… baka maabutan ko na yung rumored starcraft hd remake coming in august 2016 daw. ;)

    kaya sa mga young (and old) pokemon go players, go on!

    • Avatar for infotainment infotainment says:

      My phone is Asus Zenfone Selfie din. not compatible daw. GInawa ko doon ako sa ibang site ng download ng apk ayun gumana. Malamang may kakaibang requirements lang kapag nasa google playstore. So far 2 days na ok naman.

    • Avatar for SYNTH SYNTH says:

      ANY Intel processor phones are not compatible yet.

  18. Avatar for Easy E Easy E says:

    Meron pa. The 2GB ram requirement.
    Mediatek SOCs yata palpak ang GPS.

    sir sa binili kong starmobile playclick ng smart hindi compatible kahit android 5.0 lollipop version

    Ako po sir may problem sa GPS. GPS signal not found. Naka-on naman yung GPS. Na-try ko na palitan yung sa mode. High accuracy, power saving at gps only. :(

    • Avatar for Kath Kath says:

      One fix is to go outside so that the GPS signal can lock on to your phone. Try mo maglakad-lakad sa labas habang naka-on yung GPS.

    • Avatar for Nino Nino says:

      Same problem… Samsung Galaxy S7… bad trip… GPS problem… went outside (Paranaque) drove to Global City (Taguig) never na resolve yung problem… buti pa si iphone 5, gumagana yung pokemon go kahit 1GB ram lang :) hahaha :) can’t use pokemon go din with myphone iceberg (kasi 1GB ram din lang)
