something different.
Something Google called
Android Go. At its IO
developer conference, Google
has unveiled Android Go; an initiative created to cover the
empty tracks left by Android
One Program. Android Go is a version of the popular mobile operating
system that has been
optimised for smartphones
with 1GB or less RAM, thus
primarily aimed at emerging
markets. It's essentially a set of features and apps for
Android, which are set to
debut with Android O, that
are designed to limit both
devices' system resources
and mobile data, helping people in developing nations
have a reasonable mobile
experience.
What is Android Go? Android Go focuses on three
things - optimising the latest
release of Android to run
smoothly on entry-level
devices, a rebuilt set of
Google apps that uses less memory, storage space and
mobile data and finally a
version of Play Store that will
not only provide the entire
catalogue but will also
highlight apps specifically designed for entry-level
users. These three features
will ship to Android O devices
with 1GB or less memory
starting in 2018.
Android Go devices will have
data management and
savings in quick settings, and
teaming up with carriers will
let you keep track of how
much data you’ve been consuming with the ability to
top up.
Android Go apps Google is also designing apps
like YouTube Go, Chrome and
Gboard to use less memory
and are easy on mobile data.
The company is making
optimisations to the system UI and the kernel to allow an
Android O device built with
the Go configuration to run
smoothly on as low as 512MB
to 1GB of memory.
Lastly, a special, Android Go- exclusive Play Store was also announced, designed
specifically to highlight apps
built with Google's so-called
"Building for Billions" best
practices for app developers,
or in other words, made to conserve data and device
resources, such as Facebook
Lite and Skype Lite.
The new play store will show apps designed for low- end device
The first Android Go devices
are going to arrive in 2018,
Google says. The new play store will show apps designed for low- ends
