At the 2017 I / O Conference, Google produced Android Go’s first announcement. Google argues to be a low-budget platform that can operate Android devices efficiently. Google introduced this new feature to provide prevalent consumers with Android smartphones. If you don’t know about this fresh Android technology, however, you should look at the definitions below.

About Android Go –

The Android Go is the toned down version of Google’s Android Operating System published with the goal of running the OS on entry-level devices effectively.

As smartphone figures worldwide skyrocket, this is Google’s masterstroke to expand its business strategy. Android Go enables very little storage room for all Google-based applications.

Thus, systems with small RAM volume are said to be a curse. Also, even the pre-installed applications will eat less room and information.

Google has concentrated on three main fields, including the Play Store, the Operating System, and the Apps, while introducing the Android Go. Let’s take a near look at each of these:

The Android Go Play Store –

Google has introduced the fresh and exclusive Android Go Play Store to decrease the applications strain and create the Android lighter. To be frank, there is little distinction between the standard Google Play Store and the Android Go Play Store as both offer information that is quite comparable.

Both Play Stores have only one fundamental distinction that the Go storefront provides. The store’s fundamental font is the greatest for machines at the entry level. This function also helps to recommend top applications for customers that can function on their computers efficiently.

Apps –

Google has introduced the same applications as usual, but with the bright variant to fit the storage of the device. Most of the time, these apps occupy about 50% less space and provide the same performance-wise experience as usual apps.

With Android Go, you’d basically find these popular pre-installed applications like Google Go, Gmail Go, YouTube Go, Google Maps, Google Assistant Go and Files Go, etc. Nearly 15 percent of applications can be navigated much quicker. However, some of their characteristics that are not accessible in the Go variant may have to be compromised. Note that most of Android Go’s pre-existing applications are Progressive Web Apps.

Operating System

Based on the same model as the Android Oreo, the operating system has been specifically designed to support devices with RAM ranging from 512 MB to 1 GB. They also occupy part of Naugat’s Android room that allows you to put more applications on your smartphone. It has an additional information saver function that is accessible in the standard mode.

Key Difference Between Regular Apps & Android Go Apps

Let’s start an analysis between the regular Android and Android Go by focusing on some of the key apps.

Google App –

Google Go is your standard Google app’s easy and heavier variant. In the heavier variant, which is only about 12 MB, the device range has been decreased. This Google has all the key characteristics like voice search, Google Translate, Maps, and GIF.

Google Map –

You’re going to be surprised to find Google Go Map’s APK volume is just 0.009 MB. On the contrary, Google Map’s normal size is greater than 48 MB.

Gmail –

With Gmail Go, you can quickly and anywhere inspect and answer to your messages. This app allows you to conduct all the periodic device tasks on your cheap device.

YouTube –

YouTube is a famous audio game today, which is why the bright edition of the phone has been developed by Google. YouTube Go is less than the usual YouTube.

Files Go-

If you’re used to your Android device well, you should understand there’s no Files Manager available. Well, this gives the customer a hectic job of visiting the Download Manager and then going through the device’s internal storage. But here again, with the launch of Files Go, Google showed some leniency towards the entry-level devices. Shortly after its release, it attained notoriety.

It provides most of the major applications like Google Maps. Gmail, YouTube, Google App and Files Go with most applications offering the same characteristics as standard applications.

Now, if you compare the total size of the file between Google Go and the regular apps, the former only occupies nearly 81 MB, while the ordinary apps take up about 522 MB of room.
