With the launch of Android Oreo Go edition,
Google has once again stood by its word that it is not a conventional business,
rather an enterprise that wants to contribute positively to the world. Late in 2017,
when Google launched its Android’s Oreo Go edition, a large number of people
that rely on low-end smartphones and have been missing out on a huge chunk of
mobile technology, were quite appreciative about it.
Although the series of Go edition phones are
going to continue, Android launched its first Go edition OS through Oreo which
has been optimized significantly to deliver the same great android experience
even on low end smartphones. In this article, we will discuss what makes Oreo
Go quite unique in itself:
Less RAM, same great performance
Android Oreo allows people to have low-end
smartphones like a pro, without compromising on performance. With its
specialized architecture, Go OS can provide the same great flow with just 1 GB
RAM or even lesser, which is one of the factors why Go edition phones would be
sold at comparatively lower prices than its Android Oreo counterparts. Recently,
Microsoft launched its Nokia 1 with Android Go edition priced at a mere $85. However,
some of the people are sceptical about buying Android Go phones as most such
phones sport Mediatek chipsets, which usually has heat issues, and
consequently, performance issues.
Exclusive set of apps
There would have been no point in using the
same apps on Oreo Go that were being in the original Oreo edition. Hence, Android app development India at Google
realised that in order to deliver better performance, the complete set of
applications for Oreo Go needs to be reimagined with a lot of focus on using
web mobile apps development on the
backend, and simple interface for better compatibility with hardware to avoid
lags. And with exclusive Go Apps, Oreo Go achieves its goals. The OS includes
stripped down versions of some of the most popular Google apps like Gmail,
YouTube, Chrome and more, which are, in no way, inferior to their original
counterparts.
OS optimized
It is quite obvious that the next Android
version is always bigger the previous one in terms of disk space it occupies. However,
Oreo Go OS breaks the stereotype by taking up not even equal, but almost half
of what the native Android Nougat OS takes up. The extra space it frees up
allows users to store more of their personal data and media locally. Most of
the phones featuring Go edition OS come with 8 or 16 GB disk space, which is an
already outdated format for native OS. But in case of Oreo Go, Google has tried
to squeeze out maximum out of the 8 and 16 GB stick.
User Experience
User Experience is probably the biggest
reason behind the success of Oreo Go, as the much-anticipated OS in its
prelaunch event itself made it quite clear that Google has not compromised with
the sheer pleasurable experience that Android promises. Apart from minor
changes in the UI, nothing much significant has been changed in the exclusive OS
made for low-end smartphones.
Google’s attempt at making lives easier for
the world always reflects the genuineness in its efforts to bring convenience in
all spheres of our world. A similar attempt was made by Google earlier when it
announced the launch of Android One. However, the company needs to work in
parallel with Mobile app development companies to help them build apps that are as compatible as the exclusive
Go apps or the purpose of launching a dedicated OS could lose its essence over
time.
