Compatible Mobile Devices

Hi Will Janes 

Unfortunately, We do not have the list of the devices which are supported, but the supported OS versions: 

• Android 5.x or later
• iOS 11.x or later
• Windows 10 Mobile, Mobile Enterprise
• Windows 10 version 1511 or later (desktop OS)
• macOS 10.12 (Sierra) or later
• Chrome OS 77 or later. 

Please check this document for setup of Sophos Mobile for your device. 

Hello, 

Thanks for the response. This isn't going to help me as I need to find out what devices work best, for example if I went out and bought 100 Motorola devices, okay, they may be on the correct version of Android, but will all the features within Sophos Mobile work? 

Thanks, 

Will Janes. 

Hi Will Janes 

I certainly understand your concern here, I would suggest you test features on the testing device first. Not all features are available on all device operating systems, versions, or device models.

Hi Will Janes,

as the way forward managing Android devices is Android Enterprise I highly recommend to move into that direction.

Google has deprecated the old "Device Admin" management scenario and reduces the available functionality with every new Android version.
For Android Enterprise the functionality should be the same on all the different Android devices.

Google itself provide a list of certified Android Enterprise devices which you can find here:

All of these devices work with Android Enterprise.

Within the list however, you can also filter for "Android enterprise recommended" which is a special label where manufacturers guarantee to fulfill the requirements outlined on this page.

Hope that helps.

Best regards
Stefan
