There’s a class of ultra-budget devices that you might not be familiar with (since they’re not very popular in the States) that run a special version of Android called Android Go. Android Go comes with lighter and less demanding versions of Google’s apps as well and is meant for phones that have under 1GB of RAM.
But that is going to change soon if a leaked Google document unearthed by XDAdevelopers turns out to be true. The file, called “Android 11 Go edition Device Configuration Guide”, highlights some new rules manufacturers will have to adhere to if they want Google Services on their devices. Here are some of them:
While that change probably won’t affect you, from Google’s decision we can deduct that the upcoming Android 11 will be even more dependent on RAM. If 2GB of RAM are now sending you straight to Android Go, this means that for a smooth Android 11 experience you’d need at least 4 gigs. And that’s a number some budget phones, like the Moto G Fast for example, aren’t hitting today.
Does that mean that if you’re one of the few budget phone owners that will be blessed with an Android 11 upgrade, your phone could actually become slower? Hopefully not, but we’ll have to wait and see.
