No longer maintained
While I am still actively testing devices, I no longer publish them here. Consider the below to be historical, including the advanced testing, and not to be taken as current status of a device. If you’d like your devices tested against Android Enterprise functionality, feel free to get in touch.
The devices listed below have been tested against a current, Android Enterprise-compatible Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) platform for one or more of the following:
- Android Enterprise work profile
- Android Enterprise fully managed (work-managed)
- Android Enterprise work profile on a fully managed device (COPE/COMP)
- Android Enterprise dedicated (COSU or kiosk)
- Multiple provisioning methods, including zero-touch enrolment
OEM or reseller?
I welcome additional devices for testing! If you’re an OEM or reseller of Android devices, you can join Sony, Nokia, Huawei and others in lending me anything from Android 6.0.1 or later to independently test. This is a free service, devices can be returned within a week or so. Use my contact page to get in touch or email me directly.
For more information on what’s involved in testing, please head to: Android Enterprise independent validation process and information.
Advanced testing
The following devices have undergone advanced testing. Introduced in June 2019, advanced testing follows the same process as standard testing, but each individual restriction/function is documented and verified irrespective of outcome across at least two EMMs.
A report containing 700+ touch points is provided to the OEM on completion along with any recommendations.
Standard testing
The following devices have undergone standard testing. Standard testing involves the same process as advanced testing, but without in-depth documentation and additional verification across multiple EMMs.
For each of these use-cases, the device will be provided a pass (), a warning ( / ), a fail () or untested (), along with the party who verified the functionality (as some information may be externally sourced). The OS version (if) listed is valid at the time of testing. It’s normally safe to assume newer OS versions will support at a minimum the below tested functionality.

The DPC agent does not automatically launch, and DPC extras are not passed to the agent. It does then work as expected. DPCi enrolment fails with MobileIron, as the device is not recognised as a fully managed device by the DPC. QR provisioning is not supported.

Notes: Previously tested on Android 6.x, where DPCi provisioning failed and QR provisioning wasn’t supported. Updating to 7.1.2 resolved both of these issues.
Interesting topic! But Google really need to focus on fixing the issues with Android 7.1 devices. For the better success should really need to offer Android Enterprise only for > Android 8.0 devices only ? as an BYOD managers we are facing various AE compatible device but not all devices are really not eligible. Google should really open an exclusive corporate Android Enterprise support contracts
Can you elaborate? I’ve covered a lot of 7.x+ devices which behave as I’d expect and generally recommend 7.x+ (rather than 6.x or lower) because of it.
On 1. the option is certainly there to allow for one universal passcode, however:
So arguably it’s not ideal, and is addressed in Android P, but equally it’ll enforce a passcode that’s compliant with company policy that will take precedence if required.
On 2. Chinese phones normally aren’t GMS certified and likely won’t have the necessary APIs to correctly run Android enterprise solutions adequately. If they are, it’s on the OEM to fix any issues they have.
Hello, I am new.
and I face a problem about zero-touch
My phone is Sony xperia XZ
I load default, and in welcome page it ask me to click 3 times to get QR scanner and need QR code.
I don’t know where to get the code.
Could help to guide how to do in next, or where I can to get some help.
You’ll need to connect an EMM to G Suite as Google Apps (the legacy free version I also use) doesn’t have proper Android management built in (thanks Google).
Once you have an EMM which supports the QR code then you’ll be able to get the QR code from that vendor. MobileIron do their provisioner app for QR generation, Workspace One UEM generates them in-console, so on.
very thanks
I don’t order this function (EMM), so I don’t know how to add EMM 3rd part and use mobileiron.
find a app from mobileiron “provisioner”
and try to typing and scan qr from my phone
scan qr done, and downloads mobileiron admin app from internet, then ask
me to provide username and password.
Try all I have accounts, but it doesnt accept and can’t go in next step.
Does It must do on android cloud from PC browser or have other way ?
You need a valid MobileIron tenant or installation to use the provisioner with it. Without a valid EMM there’s no Android management in the free G Suite version, good opportunity to start looking for one!
I upgrade G suit to enterprise(evaluation), and make a token.
Register mobileiron free 30 days, but it doesn’t any response.
Use above register email and can’t login to mobileiron cloud.
Do I lost any step ?
I’m normal user, maybe I turn on or install a app to active this function.
For now, I would like to find a solution to disable and use this phone normally.
Could help to provide the QR code, let me scan and active my phone, then
remove this account to disable this feature?
