One of the few major handset makers that did not
bring any new smartphones at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018, Huawei is set to
launch its first Android Go Oreo Edition phone.
If you've been following the MWC 2018 news, then you
already know Alcatel, Nokia and ZTE have already announced their own Android
Oreo Go Edition smartphones, which are expected to go on sale in the coming
weeks. Huawei is likely to join them very soon with its own device called Y5
Lite (2018).
Google created Android Oreo Go Edition to allow
smartphones with low-performance hardware to run the latest version of its
operating system. Basically, it's meant for smartphones with 1GB RAM or less.
Huawei Y5 Lite (2018) will be powered by a MediaTek
MT6737m processor and it will feature a display with 854 x 480 pixels
resolution. The rest of the phone's specs are a mystery, but we do know for
sure it will come pre-loaded with various Go apps, including Assistant, Maps,
Search, YouTube, and Gmail.
We have yet to learn when Huawei's first Android
Oreo Go Edition smartphone will make its debut and how much it will cost, but
we expect more details to emerge in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.
