System Requirements for Android Devices

The Android device on which you install Horizon Client, and the peripherals it uses, must meet certain system requirements.

• Android operating systems

  • Android 14
  • Android 15
  • Android 16

• Omnissa Horizon deployments

  Horizon Client for Android requires the latest maintenance release of one of the following deployment types:

  • Omnissa Horizon 8 2006 or later
  • Omnissa Horizon Cloud Service - next-gen
  • Horizon Cloud in Microsoft Azure

• CPU architecture

  • ARM64 Note: Non-NEON devices are not supported.

• External keyboards

  (Optional) Bluetooth and docked keyboard devices. For information about the external devices that your specific device supports, see the documentation from the device manufacturer.

• Smart cards

  See Smart Card Authentication Requirements.

• Connection Server and Horizon Agent

  Latest maintenance release of Horizon 8 2006 and later releases.

  If client devices connect from outside the corporate firewall, use an Omnissa Unified Access Gateway appliance so that client devices do not require a VPN connection. If your company has an internal wireless network to provide routable access to remote desktops that devices can use, you do not need to set up Unified Access Gateway or a VPN connection.

• Display protocols

  • PCoIP
  • Horizon Blast

• Network protocols

  • IPv4
