Android is transitioning to using 16 KB memory page sizes, offering improved performance gains on devices.
Starting November 1st, 2025, new apps and app updates targeting Android 15+ devices must support 16 KB page sizes for native C/C++ code.
The transition can result in a 5-10% overall performance boost for devices, including faster app launches, improved battery usage, and quicker camera starts.
Android Studio provides tools to help developers prepare for the transition, including detecting compatibility issues, recompiling code, and testing in a 16 KB environment.
