We have said several times that buying a cheap smartphone is never worthwhile.
By spending 100 Euros for a smartphone, except in rare cases, you will only go to buy an old, slow and obsolete cell phone for most modern apps, which in a few months or at most in a year will have to be changed because it breaks or because it creates too much frustration.
However, there is an exception to this rule (i.e. not to spend too little on a phone), represented by the special and lightened version of Android called Android Go, with performance so optimized as to remain fluid even if the hardware resources of the smartphone are limited .
Android Go has features that make it significantly lighter than normal Android, with less space occupied by the system on memory, few pre-installed apps in a light version (then we will see the Android Go apps) and with integrated tools to keep the memory free and fast performance even if there is reduced RAM on the smartphone.
Smartphones with Android GO all cost very little, basically focused on emerging markets in countries like India, with the limitation of 1GB of RAM and low-end processor with little power.
In addition, Android GO smartphones have the limitation of accepting the installation of compatible applications, generally lighter and more adapted and adapted in order to have the best possible performance and a smooth user experience.
These are therefore good phones for those who install few apps, for those who want to spend less than 100 Euros and for those who need a secondary or emergency mobile ready to use.
Among the compatible apps, which we talked about in an article on the lite versions of the most used Android apps, there are Maps Go, Youtube Go, Gmail Go, Google Go, Skype Lite, Facebook Lite, Messenger Lite, Twitter Lite and several others ( Whatsapp can certainly be installed and the Play Store is also present).
Android Go phones have Wifi connection, 3G data connection (sometimes even 4G), Bluetooth; GPS; Hotspot.
The app that optimizes the system is Google's Go Files, a multifunction tool pre-installed on Android Go to manage memory, transfer files and check the phone's performance.
Those who want to spend a little (less than 100 Euros) on the mobile phone, can buy one of these smartphones with Android Go, also on sale in Italy, which cost between 60 and 80 Euros and have optimized performance without those frustrating slowdowns that are the worst shortcoming of cheap Android mobiles.
