Google wants to make sure everyone can Crazy Sexaccess Android, even those who can't afford fancy phones.

The company announced today that Android Oreo (Go Edition) will be launching alongside Android 8.1.

The operating system also includes a new app called Files Go that helps you organize, back up, navigate, and share your apps, images, videos, documents, and more.

The Go Edition comes equipped with a bunch of data-saving features, which have the potential to save more than 600 MB of data per year. This could be a lifesaver for users of entry-level smartphones, many of which use prepaid SIM cards.

And don't worry: The Go Edition sports many of the signature features of its parent, Android Oreo, including Google Play Protect, which scans app downloads for malware.

Google has recently encouraged developers to design apps in accordance with its Building for Billions Guidelines, to optimize them for phones in developing markets. Its Developers website provides advice for designing apps for users with limited connectivity, supporting devices with less advanced graphics and displays, and preserving battery life.
