The entry-level Android phone you bought is about to get a whole lot better.
Why is THIS the best-selling phone?
Google is working on a new version of Android 12, which will ship to entry-level smartphones in 2022. The new operating system will build on some of the best features of the main version of Android 12. It's optimized to run on budget Android devices with less RAM. RAM plays a big role in how your phone multitasks, and stock operating systems can crash if they don't have enough RAM to work with.
“Android 12 Go brings a range of benefits to users,” tech expert Aram Aldarraji told Lifewire in an email. “The new software is designed to run on low-end smartphones, making it an affordable option for those who need a reliable device.”
In recent years, companies like Samsung, Google and Nokia have flooded the budget phone market with new devices. From Samsung’s Galaxy A52 to the even more affordable Nokia G10, the Android market is full of affordable phone options.
