    Hi hanoz
    The article was pretty cool.
    Jst wanted to know whether these launchers require a particular phone configuration like a particular RAM of 1 gb or so?

    • Hanoz Patel July 14, 2016, 2:12 pm

      Hello Jatin,
      Glad you liked the article.
      Regarding your query – All launchers stated above should work perfectly on any Android smartphone which has a RAM of 1.5 GB or higher but then it also depends on the amount of storage left on your device. If you have about 20% of storage free on your device, all of them should work just fine.
