SAN FRANCISCO, August 19, 2018 (News Wires) - First-time smartphone users across the Middle East want a fast, reliable experience and storage space at accessible price points. However, entry-level smartphones usually lack the performance and storage that consumers expect, leaving them frustrated and wanting more from their devices. Enter Android Oreo (Go edition), an operating system created for devices with 1GB RAM or less, that offers users the best of the Android experience at affordable prices. Android Go, for short, comes with a new range of apps from Google designed to run faster while consuming less data, including Web search app Google Go, Google Maps Go, YouTube Go and Google Assistant for Android (Go edition), to quickly send messages, make calls, set alarms and do more, simply by using your voice. It also offers a smooth and responsive experience, while making sure your device gets the latest security updates and features. Let's look at some of the benefits it has to offer: Storage: With fewer pre-installed and much lighter apps, you get twice as much storage available out of the box compared with Android Nougat . This means you can store 1,000 more photos directly on your phone! And if you are running low on storage space, the new Files Go app from Google lets you clean up your phone's storage and find files fast. Speed: No more waiting for apps to open or missing the moment when you take a picture. Lighter apps and a faster OS means your phone never gets bogged down and apps start up 15 per cent faster on average. Security: Android Oreo (Go edition) comes with the innovative security improvements that launched with Oreo, which means your phone is protected 24/7. It also comes with Google Play Protect built-in, a malware protection that works to keep your device clean and your data safe. It actively scans new installs, and checks all installed apps daily, no matter where you downloaded them from. Data saving: Turned on by default, data saver helps you save data instantly and manage data usage any way you choose, by letting you control what apps use your data and when. An app such as YouTube Go allows you to download and watch your favourite videos, while controlling your data spend. You can choose to download or stream videos, preview videos before you download or watch, choose how many MBs you spend on videos and you can instantly share videos without using any data to transfer. Google Go: Built from the ground up for new smartphone owners just discovering the Web, Google Go makes it easy to find popular queries, top websites and apps, trending images and GIFs at blazing speed, with minimal typing. Assistant Go: The Google Assistant for Android (Go edition) is your own personal assistant, always ready to help you get things done on-the-go. Ask it to call mum, play videos, navigate to your favourite coffee shop, and more, just by holding the home button. Whether you are looking to make the move from a feature phone to a smartphone, or would like an entry level smartphone that can keep up with all your mobile demands, it is now more accessible than ever to get a phone with pure Android experience.
