It is near impossible to keep the various devices, android software version, vendors and country specific features current with this table. Although all the Samsung devices ship with the API, Samsung constrains the functionality on certain platforms by the platform (vendor) key that will not recognize the Pulse Secure signing key. Thus as a rule of thumb, if Pulse can be installed on a given Android device, the enhanced functionality will be available. b. Vendor: Lenovo
