Today, Nokia China announced plans to launch a new entry-level Android Go smartphone. The company shared this news on its official Weibo account.
According to the official announcement, 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 localized features. These devices are also expected not to support 5G connectivity, as there is currently no entry-level chipset that supports 5G.
The phone is expected to feature a Snapdragon 400-series or MediaTek Helio A-series chipset.
Android Go is a streamlined version of Android designed specifically for smartphones with 2GB of RAM or less. It runs more lightly and uses fewer resources, making it possible on many devices.
