In this reduced option, Google Go has a setting called basic mode in which it allows us to save 40% more data than the normal version when browsing through the net.
In addition to all that, Google Go is capable of reading texts aloud to us (something that the standard client does not have) and integrates a reduced version of Google LensGoogle Go allows you to recognize text with the camera, but does not integrate the other functions of Google Lens.It's nice that Google didn't sacrifice everything for more space.
