Google says that apps will open without delay, eliminating the short period in which you might see a blank screen.
Over 200 million people use an Android (Go edition) phone today, and the next iteration of this OS brings with it a faster, smarter, and more privacy-friendly experience, Google promises.
Other features, like the privacy dashboard, are already available in the standard version of Android 12, letting you view and access your app permissions from one hub. You might also recognize the on-screen translation tool, automatic app hibernation that helps conserve your phone’s battery life, along with the handy feature that lets you share an app with nearby devices, preventing other users from having to use data to download it themselves.

Android 12 (Go edition) phones will launch apps up to 30% faster compared to previous Go edition Android versions, and the animations will be smoother too. The Android 12 SplahScreen API will be featured here too, allowing developers to give you something nice to look at while the app is loading.
By hibernating apps that haven't been used for extended periods of time, Android 12 (Go edition) will save battery life and storage space. You'll be notified when this happens.

The Recent Apps screen in Android 12 (Go edition) gives you options to listen to the news and translate any on-screen content into your preferred language, and we're wondering why these features aren't baked into the non-Go edition version of Android 12, as they seem like they would be quite useful to everyone.
Through Nearby Share and Google Play, you'll be able to save data by sharing apps directly with nearby devices. Speaking of sharing, Android 12 (Go edition) lets you easily switch to a guest profile before sharing your device and reset that profile once the person you shared with is done using it. Profiles will be available directly on the lock screen to simplify this procedure.
The new Android 12 Privacy dashboard makes it to the Go edition too, and you get the same snapshot of which apps are accessing sensitive data. The status bar privacy indicator is also in, showing you when apps are using your mic and/or camera. Approximate location permissions are another staple feature of Android 12 making it to the Go edition.
All of these will be enjoyed on Android 12 (Go edition) devices launching in 2022.

Features of Android 12 (Go edition):
The Go Edition is used in low-end phones, so those smartphones have very low quality animation as well as a number of advanced features. But the Go Edition of Android 12 is coming to the market to overcome all these shortcomings. According to Google, phones powered by the new Android 12 (Go version) will be 30 percent faster than those powered by the previous Go version. This means that an app will open very quickly and overall the phone will be much more efficient than before. Animation is also important for a good software experience, so Google is adding the SplashScreen API to this Go edition, allowing users to see great animation on e while loading an app.
Right now, it’s still unclear which devices will get the Android 12 (Go edition) update or when exactly the update will be rolled out. Google says it’s slated for 2022 but has yet to pinpoint a specific date.
