Hi Joan,

Please help to answer my question, thanks. 

Now our system is running in imx6D(2GB DDR) with Android N, if move to imx6DL(1GB DDR) (cost down solution), will Android N can run smoothly?

We thought that Higher Android version eat more memory/cpu than lower version? is it right?

Hi Joan, you means android O  UI/UX/Performance is better than android4.4 in the same hardware?

Now our system is running in imx6D(2GB DDR) with Android N, if move to imx6DL(1GB DDR) (cost down solution), will Android N can run smoothly?
