Not so long ago, Google announced that more than 100 million devices based on Android Go, which is a lightweight version of the standard mobile OS, are used worldwide. The number of budget smartphone users is steadily growing, so it is not surprising that, along with the operating system, Google is trying to release simplified versions of its proprietary applications adapted for Android Go. The next application that was affected by such processing was Google Camera.
Camera Go is reportedly a lightweight version of the stock Google Camera app. It has been simplified and devoid of some functions, but at the same time it has become faster and less demanding on device resources. At the same time, a set of standard functions and algorithms for improving photos has been preserved, so with Camera Go, owners of budget smartphones will be able to take high-quality photographs. The developers have left in Camera Go a portrait mode, as well as a night mode that improves the quality of photos taken in low light conditions.
The first smartphone to feature the Camera Go app will be the budget Nokia 1.3. this week and running the Android 10 Go Edition software platform. The Camera Go app is expected to be available on other Android Go devices in the future.
It is also worth noting that other companies often release lighter versions of their popular applications aimed at budget devices. One such company is Facebook, which has created lightweight versions of some of its apps, such as Messenger Lite and Instagram Lite.
