Can a LG Ice Cream Smart run Pokemon GO? [closed]
Solution 1:
Your device is very much borderline, in terms of it's specifications. It would likely not be able to run the game in any playable fashion.
If you visit the Pokemon Go Store page while on the device, it will likely tell you as much.
The Pokemon Go Specifications list the following requirements:
- Android 4.4 or above
- Preferred resolution of 720x1280 pixels (Not optimized for tablet)
- Strong internet connection (Wi-Fi, 3G, or 4G)
- GPS and Location Services
- Rooted devices are not supported
The LG Ice Cream Smart has the following specifications:
- Display: 320x480 pixels
- Processor: 1.2Ghz Quad-Core
- RAM: 1GB
- Android Version: 4.4
The Ice Cream Smart's Android version is the oldest version supported by Pokemon Go, The processor is over 4 years old, and the display resolution is markedly less than what is 'preferred'.
To top it off, at least 2GB RAM is recommended for the game to run smoothly.
I've personally seen the game running on a 5 year old Samsung tablet and it is far from a smooth experience: the entire game lags, and sometimes completely crashes when too much is happening on-screen. So suffice to say, even if you could get it working I doubt it would be very enjoyable. I'd recommend upgrading to a newer device.
