Google, Android, Android Go, Google Android Go, Android Go Oreo, Android Oreo Go Edition, Android 8.1 Go, Android 8.0 Go — Google's Android Go is meant to run on smartphones with a low amount of resources.

Google's Android operating system is now much more effective and efficient compared to any of its previous versions. Thus, making the specifications needed to run the operating system be much more minimal. To take the efficiency to the next level Google under its Android Go initiative has released much more light versions of Android 8.0 Oreo and Android 8.1 Oreo. These operating systems under the initiative are much more bare bones as compared to the full versions and have additional supplementary apps which are also bare-bones versions of the full apps to take the load. This, in turn, is bringing down the cost of smartphones and is making them available to the masses. Here is a list of the top five smartphones that run Google's Android Go operating system.

Huawei P20 Pro, oneplus 6, pokemon go, android, games, ios, smartphone, 2018, specifications, price — Pokemon Go can even run on a smartphone as old as the iPhone 5s

Pokemon Go is one of the best-augmented reality games for iOS and Android devices. The game was developed and launched by a collaboration between Niantic and Nintendo. Pokemon Go received a lot of love from users making it reach a milestone of 100 million downloads on the Google Play Store. If you are still willing to play the much popular gaming in 2018, here are some smartphones that can deliver the best gaming experience.

Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1

Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 is one of the best smartphones under Rs. 10,000. The smartphone brings in some decent specifications which are good enough to play Pokemon GO in 2018. Though the game requires a minimum of an HD display, we selected ZenFone Max Pro M1 as it comes with a FullHD+ display which can deliver a better gaming experience. The Snapdragon 636 SoC inside will bring in no lag whatsoever. And if you like to multitask while gaming, we recommend going in with the 6GB variant of the phone. The starting price of the ZenFone Max Pro M1 is set at Rs. 9,999.

OnePlus 6

OnePlus has gained a lot of popularity since the OnePlus 3. The company has a reputation for delivering flagship grade specifications on a price tag of a mid-range smartphone. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor is currently the most powerful and the 8GB RAM and the fast 256GB storage will remove any bottleneck giving you the best gaming experience on Pokemon Go in 2018. Also, the Adreno 630 GPU brings the best graphics on board. The smartphone is available at a starting price of Rs. 34,999.

Samsung Galaxy S9+

Samsung Galaxy S9+ features a 6.2-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1440x2960 pixels. The large AMOLED display with 2k resolution can give you the best viewing experience while gaming. The Exynos 9810 coupled with Mali-G72 MP18 will not bring in any lag whatsoever. On the flip side, the Samsung UI which is known to be sluggish might bottleneck the performance. However, games like Pokemon Go will not be affected much by the heavy UI. You can grab a Samsung Galaxy S9+ for around Rs. 68,900.

Apple iPhone 7 and above

Apple iPhone X,oneplus 6, pokemon go, android, games, ios, smartphone, 2018, specifications, price — Apple iPhone X is the best iOS device you can buy right now

Pokemon Go can run on Apple iPhone 5s and above running on iOS 9 or higher. Wondering why we mentioned iPhone 7 and above? The reason is the processor and display on the older generations. Though those smartphones can play the game, to get the best experience you will need an iPhone X or at least something like the iPhone 7 or better.

Huawei P20 Pro

Huawei recently launched their flagship P20 Pro in India. The smartphone comes with a beautiful design and flagship grade specifications. The 6.2-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1080x2240 pixels will give you an immersive gaming experience while playing Pokemon Go. The company's homegrown Hisilicon Kirin 970 chipset, if not better, is as good as the Snapdragon 845. The smartphone is available at a premium of Rs. 64,999.
