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.
