It's nice that Google tries to provide services for everyone unlike Apple which wants to cater only to high end users.

"What's more, you'll even be able to quickly top-up your data allotment inside Android's Settings - without the need to call your carrier or visit a store," wow that's pretty cool.

Nice. Hopefully Android Go will be more successful than Android One, while still retaining the good features of the latter, namely it's stock nature and quick updates.

why not do this for ALL apps as well? it's kind of ridiculous that newer apps crave for more ram and cpu power but not really adding much functionality.
think about it, owning a high end phone, running on efficient software, now that's a dream

Another well done to Google. It's definitely a good news for all the low-end phones users, such as those of the Indian market, but globally as well. So theoretically the service/s will be available basically for everyone. Excellent.

this is a great step forward for google to dominate not only the smartphone market but the feature phone market as well.
also the big plus is for third world countries hwere data is a premium, nokia was a big player in these markets and now that they are climbing back but not developing a lot for the lesser few.
i for one wood like to see a feature phone with todays tech in software and hardware to be able to do things a phablet can do with limitations but being able to tether to a larger device for ease of use/ comfort.

AnonD-562549, 18 May 2017galaxy mini gt-s5570 has 384MB ram and 160MB storageThe internal storage might be slightly bugger because I uninstalled a few system apps but the for the RAM I don't know why it has 100MB less RAM.
But what I say it's true,maybe GSMarena mixed up the information.If I remember correct the Plus model had extra RAM.
But here is the proof that what I say is true: https://imgur.com/a/AeXe6

Big Daddy, 18 May 2017New or old ? LoL. Say that to all the laggy iphone 6 users..Oh I have passed down two of my iphone 6's to my family and they are as fast as they were since day one. And they are always updated with new software together with the new ones (just recently iOS 10.3.2 and it's amazing). Apple ecosystem is a tight family they update everything together. They don't categorize 1GB ram phones from higher GB ram phones like Android does. There's no love there. And oh, iPhone 6 is a 2014 phone but is still more currently expensive than its 2014 rivals . Why? Because it's quality. It's the Androids that crash on me. And gets really cheap after a few months. Facts and personal experiences.
