Google Camera Go, the Light Camera for cheap smartphones coming soon
The new Camera Go enriches the suite of ” lite ” applications for smartphones with limited performance. It will be available from April on the first smartphones of the Android Go family.
Google launched a new app, Google Camera Go, for its range of entry-level Android Go devices. The latter is a platform designed to run on extremely inexpensive devices and made its first debut about two years ago. In essence, the approach is that of a version of Android deprived of all unnecessary and heavier frills, to work without impacting performance even on low-end hardware.
Today it is used on about 100 million devices, and is supported by different ” Go ” versions of the most-used Google apps: we have Gmail, YouTube, and other key services already in the Go version, and now the suite of Google lightened native applications is complete with Camera Go. The latter uses a simple interface without invasive elements and is designed not only for basic smartphones but also and above all for users who use smartphones with difficulty.
Google remains faithful to its original vision of Android Go allowing users not to worry about storage space with Camera Go: the app monitors the storage occupied by photos and videos, suggesting ways to free up space. It is an app to be taken as a reference for all those who use an Android Go smartphone or a low and medium-end smartphone with a limiting and excessive photographic app in terms of use of resources.
” Camera Go is deeply integrated into the phone’s operating system, and it’s not just the integration of a photo filter, ” says Arpit Midha, Google’s Lead Product Manager on Android. The app is also complete with Portrait mode to create a bokeh effect in photos, so even the cheapest devices will get this functionality. According to Midha,” it is an absolute first in the economic segment of devices. It democratizes photography in the low end “.
The first Android Go device supplied with the new Camera Go app will be the new Nokia 1.3 from HMD Global, which will be available in April at a price below $100. It will arrive ” soon ” on other devices of the Android Go family.
