Gmail Go for Android device brings you the most functionality of the original app at half the size. It's available for download on the Play Store.
It’s part of the company’s Go suite of apps, which are designed to work well on low-end phones with low memory and storage. That, in turn, is part of the Android Go program, which brings a streamlined version of the OS to said handsets.
Android Police has said, the lightweight Gmail Go is practically indistinguishable in terms of features and functionality from Gmail; the only major difference is that it’s available for Android Go from Google Play; however, if your device is running Android Oreo 8.1, you can sideload the app by installing it from APKMirror.
You’ll find the installer to be roughly 10MB lighter than standard Gmail at 9.5 MB; when installed, it takes up 24.8 MB – about half of Gmail’s 47.28 MB.
This begs the question why does the original Gmail app require more space, when both app virtually have the sam functios and capabilities?
Gmail Go is the latest app from the search giant to become available on Google Play; it just launched Assistant Go, and previously released a file manager, a search app, and one for Maps – though that’s really just a progressive web app.
