Unlike iOS, Android is a platform packed with different versions and ecosystems. Android Go is one of them, a version developed for undemanding mobiles that need a light ruler that doesn't squeeze them too much. In fact, one of its rules is that it cannot be installed on mobiles with more than 1 GB of RAM. In order not to harm devices too much, Android Go comes with its own apps, prepared not to consume too many resources.
There are currently a wide variety of terminals with Android Go. We can mention among them the Samsung Galaxy J2 Core, Samsung Galaxy A2 Core, Alcatel 1 and 1X, a great set of Wiko devices or the Nokia 1.
