Will it run on your phone?
System Requirements & Device Compatibility
The formal requirement is Android 5.0 (Lollipop) or later, 2 GB of RAM and 150 MB of free storage.
That covers essentially every Android phone sold in India in the last decade. But "will it install"
and "will it be pleasant to use" are different questions, so here is the honest breakdown by the
device families we actually see in our user base.
Runs very well
Redmi and Xiaomi — the Redmi Note series from the Note 8 onward, and anything on
a Snapdragon 6-series or Helio G-series chip, runs the entire app comfortably, Live Arena included.
Redmi is by a distance the most common phone family on IC7, which is precisely why it is the
hardware we optimise against first.
Realme and Narzo — Realme 8 and later, and the Narzo line generally, handle
everything. ColorOS is aggressive about killing background apps, so if you find yourself logged
out after switching away, whitelist IC7 in the battery optimisation settings and the problem
disappears.
Samsung M-series and A-series — the M31, M32, M33, A23 and up are all solid. One
UI is well behaved and we see very few device-specific bugs on Samsung hardware. Older J-series
phones will install but see the honest section below.
Vivo and Oppo — Y-series and V-series devices from roughly 2020 onward run the
full catalogue. Like Realme, Funtouch and ColorOS both need IC7 exempted from battery optimisation
if you want the session to survive being backgrounded.
Runs, but expect compromises
On a 2 GB device — an older Redmi 8A, a Samsung J-series, a Vivo Y-series entry model — the app
installs and the card, table, instant-play and puzzle sections play perfectly well. What struggles
is the Live Arena: HD video decode plus the game layer is genuinely demanding, and
on 2 GB you will see stutter and occasional buffering. Turn on data-saver mode, which drops the
stream quality and makes the section usable rather than frustrating.
The other honest caveat on entry-level hardware is the fishing arcades. Grand Fishing Arena with
four players on screen is the heaviest thing in the app in terms of raw rendering, and a 2 GB phone
will drop frames in it. Everything else — and that is over ninety of the 106 titles — is fine.
Network
A stable 4G connection is plenty for the whole app. 3G is workable for everything except the Live
Arena, and that is what data-saver mode exists for. The app is tested on throttled connections
before it is tested on good ones, because that is the reality of playing on a train between Pune
and Mumbai rather than on office Wi-Fi.
What about iPhone?
There is no iOS build of IC7 at this time, and we would rather say that plainly than string you
along. The app is Android-only. If you are on an iPhone, the honest answer is that the IC7 game
download is not available to you yet.
