Android 11 Go will be released for various devices, and Google announced that it will open apps 20% faster.
Android 11 is now available on Pixel devices, and phones from OnePlus, Xiaomi, Oppo , and Realme, and now Google has announced in detail its copy designed for low-powered devices: Android 11 Go.
One of the biggest new features is that the new Go edition is supposed to run on devices with 2GB of RAM or less — a slight increase from Android 10 (Go edition), which was built for devices with less than 1.5GB of RAM. But don't necessarily expect to upgrade your existing 2GB phone: Android 11 Go is only going to be released for new phones with that much memory, not older ones, Google told The Verge.
Google also says it's up to OEMs if they want to put Android 11 Go on a device instead of Android 10 Go, contrary to what was suggested in a document obtained by XDA Developers in July. Google wouldn't provide examples of devices that could get the update.
However, if you have a phone that can be upgraded to Android 11 Go right now, you can try out new features like grouped notifications from chat apps in your notifications, like Android 11, and granting one-time permissions to apps for things like the microphone or camera.
Apps will also launch 20% faster than on Android 10 Go, according to Google. Android 11 Go also adds a gesture-based navigation system that you can use to move around the phone's user interface.
