This\nvision applies to all users, including those on entry-level phones that face\nreal constraints across data, storage, memory, and more. When Android (Go\nedition) was [first announced in 2017](https://www.blog.google/products/android/2bn-milestone),\nentry-level phones accounted for more than half of all device shipments\nglobally.\n\nWith this in mind, Android (Go edition) helps to provide an optimized experience for\nlow-RAM devices. By tailoring the OS configuration and making key trade-offs,\nwe're able to improve speed and performance for low-end devices and offer a\nquality phone experience for people around the world.\n\nAndroid (Go edition) helps to fulfill our mission: to empower people with\naffordable, reliable smartphones and the opportunities they enable.\n\nAndroid (Go edition) specifications\n-----------------------------------\n\nAndroid (Go edition) is a mobile operating system built for entry-level smartphones with\nless RAM than standard in higher-end devices. Android (Go edition) runs much lighter and\nsaves data, letting Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) build affordable,\nentry-level devices that empower people with possibility.\n\n### Minimum hardware requirements\n\nThere are minimum RAM requirements for devices to run Android (Go edition), depending on\nthe version of Android you are running. For a list of these requirements, see\nthe following table. For full Android (Go edition) device capability specifications, see\n[Optimize for devices running Android (Go edition)](/docs/quality-guidelines/build-for-billions/device-capacity#androidgo).\n\n| Release | Android 8.1 (API level 27) | Android 9 (API level 28) | Android 10 (API level 29) | Android 11 (API level 30) | Android 12 (API level 31) | Android 13 (API level 33) |\n|---------|----------------------------|--------------------------|---------------------------|---------------------------|---------------------------|---------------------------|\n| Min RAM | 512MB | 512MB | 512MB | 1GB | 1GB | 2GB |\n\nAndroid (Go edition) as an operating system is optimized for these constraints. With a\nkernel that understands app priority, Android (Go edition) reclaims program memory\nwithout impacting the end-user experience, making app usage and navigation\nseamless.\n\nDifferences from Android\n------------------------\n\nAndroid (Go edition) is part of the main Android platform and is simply a configuration of\nAndroid platform OS. Any app built for the main Android platform can\ntechnically run on Go. However, be mindful that there are significant built-in\nperformance, network, and battery limitations. Remember, even if your app\ncomplies with the hardware specifications of a given device, including features\nthat aren't supported by Android (Go edition) can cause compatibility issues.\n\nThe following features are disabled by default on Android (Go edition):\n\n- Picture-in-picture support\n- System alert Window permission (draw over other apps)\n- Split-screen or multi-screen window\n- Live wallpapers\n- Multi-display\n- Shortcuts or deep shortcuts in the launcher\n- Reduced maximum width and height of any image in remote view\n- VR mode\n\n| **Note:** This is not a comprehensive list and there may be other minor features disabled on Android (Go edition).\n\nWhat's new\n----------\n\nWe're constantly making phones powered by Android (Go edition) more accessible with\nadditional performance optimizations and features for entry-level devices, like\ntranslation, app switching, and data saving.\n\nFor more information on the recent development additions,\nsee [Android 13 (Go edition): Easier to update and tailored just for you)](https://blog.google/products/android/android-13-go-edition/)."]]
