Google says, and apps load much faster as well. The<br />
firm is also baking ‘wise limits’ into <strong>Android</strong> O to tame<br />
apps that want to run wild in the background – saving<br />
your precious battery life.<br />
<strong>Android</strong> Go<br />
Finally, <strong>Android</strong> O marks the debut of an initiative<br />
dubbed <strong>Android</strong> Go. This is designed to run better<br />
on phones with limited hardware, in regions with<br />
limited internet connectivity. It features streamlined<br />
versions of <strong>Android</strong> and Google’s core apps, along<br />
with a self-contained version of the Play Store, and<br />
enables Google’s Data Saver feature by default. Look<br />
for it on phones with less than 1GB of memory.<br />

O’s launch date – or what the ‘O’ stands for –<br />
the company has released a beta version of the<br />
Developer’s Preview.<br />
