Google has lowered the memory requirements for Android TV, with new devices needing just 1GB of RAM to run the platform. Previously, the requirement was 1.5GB. The change was spotted by Android Authority, which cites sources that say Google is working on “optimizations” for Android TV that would improve the experience with this minimal amount of memory. Devices would be required to have 1GB of RAM for 1080p output and 1.5GB for 4K output.
