Nokia 1
Nokia 1 is released under the Android Oreo Go edition program. Android Oreo Go edition is the optimized version of regular Android for the devices with lesser resources like RAMs and processor power. Android Oreo Go edition is capable of running very smoothly even with the minimal hardware resources so phones with the Oreo Go edition is going to be less expensive for the buyers.
The Android Oreo Go edition supports all regular apps but if there is a lighter version available from the official source then prefer installing lighter version of the apps to get even better performances, for example, Facebook Lite, Ola Lite etc, however, most of the popular Apps are already optimized to run smoothly on Oreo Go edition.
