Here's a complete list of devices that are now a part of Google's Android Enterprise Recommended Program:
- BlackBerry KEY2

In case you are wondering how these devices made it to the list and what is the criteria, there is a minimum set of specifications set by Google. The device must have at least 2GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard storage. On the optics front, the device should have a selfie camera of at least 2-megapixel while the rear one has to be of at least 10-megapixels.

The smartphone or tablet should be capable of providing a battery backup of minimum 8 hours. Also, the OEMs should ensure that the device gets security updates within a 90-day timeframe and the company should guarantee at least one major Android update.
Apparently, every flagship including some mid-range devices is capable of making it to this list. However, it depends on the OEMs whether they want their devices to be rolled out for the program or not.
