Google is releasing Android 8.1 to supported devices tomorrow, and alongside that, the company will also release a new Android Oreo (Go Edition) for budget smartphones.
The Go Edition is a light version of Android 8.0 Oreo that can run smoothly, without taking up too much space, on low-end budget smartphones. The software was originally announced at Google I/O earlier this year, and tomorrow, manufacturers and developers will be able to check it out.
Android smartphones that feature a low-end processor, up to 1GB of RAM, and, say, 8GB of storage or less. Most OEMs will only release Oreo for high-end and mid-range smartphones. With the Go Edition, even low-end phones can join the party.
According to Google, the Android Oreo (Go Edition) is all about better performance, security, improved storage, and data management. This makes apps on the OS smaller in size, and up to 15 percent faster. This also means that more storage is available on the device.
Almost all of the Google apps, such as Maps, Gmail, YouTube, Chrome, etc, have a Go edition which also help in reducing data usage and keeping things fast and smooth. In Chrome and YouTube, the data-saving feature makes sure that everything passes through a Google server where the file sizes are reduced.

Google has also released a new Google Go app, which is a lighter version of the Search app, and this will also help improve data saving. The Assistant Go version is also available to make it easier to send messages, make calls, and search for information using voice. Storage management app, Files Go, will also be built in to the system.
In the Play Store, Google has also included the Play Protect service to make sure you don’t install any malicious apps. A new section also recommends the best apps for the Go Edition of Oreo, which are optimized to run smoothly on the OS.
As security is a big part of the Android Oreo (Go Edition), latest security updates will be released timely. However, that part is still in the hands of the manufacturers. Starting tomorrow, OEMs and manufacturers will be able to download and implement the Oreo Go Edition on their devices.
Soon, you should be seeing new low-end phones running Android Oreo (Go Edition) being released.
