There is a long list of banned phones, such as older versions of Android that predate Android 6.0 and any iPhone 5 or older. Further, Android Trendy is also banned from the platform. Lastly, phones made before 2016 are considered too outdated for the platform.
Our top recommended phones for drivers on the Uber platform are iPhone 6 and newer, Samsung Galaxy 8 and newer, Google Pixel, LG G and V series, Sony Xperia series. These are excellent brands and models for Uber drivers.
Phones are a hugely important aspect of using and working within the Uber platform. It is important to choose one that works within your lifestyle and helps your business as a driver.
