Facebook Lite
By all users of Android it is well known that the application Facebook is not the most optimized and best-functioning tool among the existing ones. And it is that, if you do not have a latest generation mobile phone with plenty of power, the use of this social network is not all comfortable and pleasant that one would wish for Something that changed a few months ago, when they decided to launch a new rebuilt version from scratchHowever, not all users have a powerful mobile to enjoy their wall and interactions with other users.
With this in mind, and thinking about the needs of emerging markets, Facebook has just released a new application This is a revision of its generic application but focused on low-end mobile phones, with less technical qualities and which has received the name of Facebook Lite An application designed to give way to your social network of way comfortableand, above all, with fluent operation even with internet connections that are not of great quality Ideal for markets such as Asia and Africa, where Internet connections tend to be carried out mainly from mobile phones.
This is an application based on Snaptu, or what is the web version of Facebook In this way, it has most of the functionalities of the social network and with an appearance very similar to that of the generic application for AndroidHowever, it focuses on consuming less terminal resources In addition, it has some advantages of the platform Android , such as camera integration for taking and posting photos, as well as how notifications workTherefore, it offers a complete experience that is very similar to the original application.
The key lies, according to the TechCrunch, in its agile operation in des 2G and in poor quality Internet connections In this way, it offers more than acceptable performance for consulting walls, profiles and sharing content on low-power terminals and in places where the Internet connection is far from high-speed.Specifically, they mention countries such as Bangladesh, Nepal, Nigeria, South Africa, Sudan, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Zimbabwe, where this application has started its journey. Markets where the mobile phones that sell the most are terminals Android that do not reach the 50 dollars in cost , and where companies want to adapt to continue taking advantage of the significant growth they are experiencing.
Until now, Facebook recommended the use of the web version of its social network in these cases. A well-worked platform that advocated serving all kinds of users regardless of whether they accessed it from their mobile phones, since it took the trouble to adapt it to these devices. However, now it gains added value by taking its agile operation with tools and features typical of Android to mobile phones with fewer resources.The Facebook Lite app is now fully available free via Google Play
