Entry level i.e. budget phones are often the first and only method of accessing the internet for many people across the world.
In the global smartphone market, entry-level phones account for over half of the shipments. Data, storage, memory, and other limitations are real problems for these phones.
Google’s vision of making Android OS accessible to everyone has driven the development of Android Go.
In 2017, Google released Android Go. With its lightning-fast performance and the ability to deliver an optimized experience, this operating system promises to be a great fit for low-end smartphones with RAM of less than 2GB.
According to Google, approximately 250 million monthly active devices are running on the Android Go operating system.
In light of the increasing number of devices running on the Go OS, businesses are eying it closely to Android Go app development.
Here in this blog, we will share detailed information on the Android Go operating system, its features, and several other information.
So, let’s get started.
Introducing Google’s Stripped-Down Version Android Go
As said, Android Go is an optimized version of the regular Android operating system built for devices with low specs.
Oreo was the basis for the first version of Android Go. Updates are delivered like traditional operating systems, resulting in a seamless user experience.
The Android Go platform consumes less storage space, allowing devices with low storage to store more content.
This stripped-down version of Android OS runs lighter and saves data but beyond that, it also delivers a lot of other things as well on an entry-level smartphone such as:
- By reducing the reliance on the computing power of the device, Go allows low-end smartphones to load applications 30% faster.
- Even on low-end devices, Android Go provides a smooth multitasking experience due to its low RAM consumption.
- Due to less space being required for installation, it is possible to free up 900MB of additional memory which can then be used to store a greater amount of content.
