It’s been two months since Arne Exton’s RaspAnd received an update, and the latest build is here to finally make Google Play Store work, allowing users to install various of the supported Android apps on their Raspberry Pi 3 single-board computers. As its name suggests, RaspAnd Nougat 7.1.2 lets you run Google’s Android 7.1.2 Nougat mobile operating system on your Raspberry Pi 3 single-board computer. Unfortunately, it’s not compatible with previous Raspberry Pi models as Android Nougat requires quite a lot of hardware power.
