        I think Google will do most of the heavy lifting here, specially if they want Android go to succeed.

Making things more complicated is not going to do any good for them. Integrating android go into android 8.1; basically two system in one. That sound like a lot of work for future update.

            "Technically speaking no as a product can not be upgraded to Go but we will integrate memory management features and other perf improvements with 8.1 based maintenance release."

                Anonymous, 30 Dec 2017Bro please read juho comment first before comment nokia 2 w... moreWrong. According to the source it said, "1GB RAM devices will be supported on 8.1 release where many of the Android Go memory management improvements will be integrated". That means this is full integration of Android Go on all new 1GB RAM devices and not just tweaking Oreo 8.1 with a bit of Android Go system. There is no such thing. Android Go is the tweaked version Oreo 8.1. If you go to Google own site they wrote this, "Android Oreo devices with 512MB to 1GB of memory will come with the all the Go optimizations."

                  Luxor, 30 Dec 2017Yes, entry level phone can use Oreo but dont get too happy.... moreBro please read juho comment first before comment nokia 2 will not get oreo lite or android go via OTA. Hence they are using android 8.1 with some performance tweaks as google have made possible for them via android 8.1 not with 8.0. Hence they will get directly 8.1 which is amazing for a entry level phone.

                    I though that phones with adreno 3xx can't be updated to android 7 or higher. When this rule changed?

Its not the Oreo you think it is. This will be the lite version of Oreo, otherwise known as Android Oreo (GO Edition); previously known as Android GO. All the apps will be based on GO version aka lite apps.
