For many Android devices with low specifications, the performance and smoothness of the system have always been a pain point. Despite the significant overall improvement in specifications of Android devices over the past two years, this also means the accelerated elimination of older models.
A few days ago, at the Google I/O developer conference, Google officially launched a simplified version of Android 8.0 called Android Go to address this issue. This version is primarily aimed at low-end devices with lower performance specifications. According to Google, devices with 512MB of RAM can run smoothly, reducing the system’s memory requirements and speeding up program launch times.
Moreover, Google stated that Android O has also simplified the system upgrade process for devices. Originally, system upgrades required hardware manufacturers to add new code optimization work (such as new system drivers, compatibility issues between hardware and system versions, etc.). Now, this work may be led by Google, making it relatively easier for phone manufacturers to upgrade their models. This is particularly beneficial for devices with poorer performance receiving Android Go updates.
