Today, Nokia China announced that it plans to launch new entry-level smartphones with Android GO. The company posted this on its official Weibo account.
According to the official announcement, the Android Go will be launched on December 15. It will come pre-installed in Nokia’s upcoming entry-level devices. The Android Go smartphones are also expected to cost less than CNY 1000 ($152).
The Chinese version of Nokia’s lightweight Android Go system will remove Google services and add localization functions. These devices are also expected not to support 5G connectivity, as there is no entry-level chipset that supports 5G.
The phone is expected to feature chipsets such as the Snapdragon 400 series or the MediaTek Helio A-series.
The Android Go Edition is an amazingly fast and stripped-down version of the Android OS built for smartphones with 2 GB RAM or less. It runs lighter and saves data, making it more possible on many devices.
