Pokemon GO drops support for older Android smartphones

Niantic, developer of Pokemon GO smash hit, has just announced it will discontinue support for older Android smartphones after July 1, 2019. There's no reasoning behind the decision, so we can only guess that the numerous updates the team plans to deliver in the coming months (years?) will probably make the game unplayable on older smartphones.

The bottom line is Pokemon GO may stop working on smartphones running Android 4.4 KitKat after July 1, or those using these devices won't be able to download any new updates for the game going forward.

We can't see people upgrading their phones ...
