Domestic handset maker **Micromax** is set to launch the first smartphone in India with Google’s **Android Oreo (Go Edition)** by the end of this month, the company announced on Monday.

Android Oreo (Go) is essentially made for entry-level Android smartphones with less than 1 GB RAM and hence uses less storage space, less memory and still runs smoothly. With launching the lightweight Android Oreo (Go Edition) in India, Google has optimised its OS platform, first-party apps and Play Store to improve the capabilities of entry-level smartphones. Originally announced at **Google I/O 2017** annual developer conference, this OS is a toned down version of the latest Android Oreo OS which is currently present in high-end devices. The new OS and pre-installed apps have been optimised to take up 50 percent less space that would double the amount of available storage on entry-level devices, the company earlier said.
