@talopine replied to your post “How can Pokemon Go be so popular if so few phone models can run it?…”

I think that the lower specced phones might not run the VR aspect, but might otherwise work?

Yeah, it’s looking like the answer is “Pokemon Go actually runs fine on 1 GB of RAM”. I asked my brother (who has this model) if he can play it, and he said that while he hasn’t actually tried to play it, Google doesn’t complain about incompatibility if he tries to install it. Plus, one of the Amazon reviews for that phone explicitly mentions playing Pokemon Go on it.

I’m thinking I’ll buy the same model as him once I scrape together some more Amazon credit. Probably throw a new phone pouch into the order too if I can’t find anything suitable lying around; that phone is huge and will definitely not fit in the pouch I have now. (Never going back to Velcro pouches, though, not after several years with a Velcro MP3 player pouch that had an increasing tendency to open by accident. Zipper pouches all the way.)
