    Kangal, 05 Dec 2017Android progression: Tier: F, E, D, C, B, A, S Years: 20... moreForget A55s, it's either some A53 or some A9 32 bit. These phones tend to cut on just about everything so expecting last gen cores is too optimistic

      I have a smartphone with an entry-level, always happy with my phone but sad when know this,
      if it can't be updated should i buy a new phone with Go? maybe I will buy it but maybe still think again with my money, but i commend Google's strategy for low-end, Android is mobile phone with billions of people, such as also with Apple have billions people, well although the security and privacy issues on Android are constraints of all of it, hope Android Oreo version more secure.

          Android progression:
          Tier: F, E, D, C, B, A, S
          Years: 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017
          Resolution: 480p, 480p, 720p, 720p, 1080p, 1080p, 1440p
          Battery (Ah): 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0
          Storage: 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB, 256GB
          RAM: 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB
          CPU: 500Mhz A11, 1GHz A8, 1GHz Dual-A9, 1.5GHz Dual-A17, 2.5GHz Quad-A17, 2GHz Dual-A72, 2.5GHz Quad-A73

          I'm guessing Oreo Go! (or AndroidOne) are more suitable for 720p (or lower) phones, with 2GB RAM (or less) memory, plus 16GB (or fewer) storage, running on a 2,500mAh (or less) battery unit. And probably powered by a 2GHz Quadcore Cortex A55, or slower.

              Basically this create a new android category aka lite android. But Google need to define low end. How far is 'low end' in their perspective? Phone with 16gb internal and 2gb ram is still low end for me.

                they are putting Android Go in low-powered phones, which means Samsung will bring out all the 1gb ram / 8gb rom $500 phone out in 2018. Google is not intending to install Go in old models.

                  These Go apps should be made available for other devices as well.

                    Why not just call it ""Android System Codename Oreo(Go Edition Version Eight point one)""
                    Or its too short?
