Google Assistant Go


Google Assistant Go has now arrived delivering Google's virtual assistant in a lightweight version. The Google Assistant Go app is available for download on Google Play.

The Google Assistant Go app offers most of the features that are available through the standard Google Assistant integration like the app allows you to make quick phone calls, send text messages, play music, navigate places, preview your upcoming events, weather information, and ask general questions.

Google Assistant Go app has some differences over the original Google Assistant version since the app is made to use less storage and data. The list of features that aren't available on the lightweight Google Assistant includes reminders, controls for smart home devices, Actions on Google and Device Actions. The app is not likely to support OK Google or Hey Google hands-free activation.

The Google Play listing shows that the Google Assistant Go app is compatible with devices running Android 8.0 Oreo and later. MediaTek announced its partnership with Reliance Jio to bring an Android Oreo (Go Edition) smartphone. Companies such as Micromax and HMD Global are also in the headlines for building their own Android Oreo (Go edition) devices that are likely to come with inferior specifications than the traditional entry-level Android handsets but offer the newest Android experience.
