Google announced Thursday its new Camera Go app, a lightweight camera app that should help users take quality photos and videos without eating up most of your memory.
The announcement of Camera Go coincides with Google's celebration of Android Go's milestone, the search giant's lightweight mobile operating system, which has now been installed on more than 100 million devices.
"Camera Go tracks how much photo and video storage space you have left, and then it helps you clear up space so you never miss a shot," Google said in its official blog. "It's built for people using smartphones for the first time, so it has a clean and simple interface."
Google described in its blog post the struggle of taking photos given that most camera apps cause smartphones to slow down. Some camera apps are also too complex to navigate and there's also the problem of not having enough storage.
With Google's Camera Go app, users can take amazing photos without having to worry about a sluggish app or not enough storage space. The app comes with convenient features as well, like Portrait Mode to allow users to take photos like a pro by focusing on the subject.
Camera Go is merely one example of the several apps Google has been developing designed for its Go edition. There's also Google Go, a lightweight search engine that works even if your internet connection is slow or unstable. According to the search giant, it has helped millions of people gather information that's otherwise marred by unstable connections.
Google Go also has a feature called Lens, which helps people quickly search, hear, and translate text they see in the real world using the cameras on their phones. With Lens, you'll be able to understand other languages that you see on the streets, documents, medicine labels, signs, and many more. It also has a new mode that allows for searches without being saved or recorded to their account.
Another app is called Gallery Go, which leverages on-device machine learning to help people organize photos without ever sending data to the cloud.
Google's Android Go has allowed more people to have access to high-quality smartphones, especially in areas wherein most citizens cannot afford the current regular price of mobile phones. The company also announced in the same blog post that its partners have made more 1,600 devices available across the world, and now there are more than 100 million active Android Go users.
Google ended the post with a note saying that Camera Go will roll out on Nokia 1.3 and more Android Go devices soon.
