Google launches Camera Go app for Android Go devices

Google is here to make entry-level phone cameras a bit better with the new Camera Go app made specifically for Android Go devices.

Android Go is Google’s own operating system designed specifically for entry-level phones. This OS is optimized to run at lower level specifications without sacrificing user experience and comes with apps that are smaller in size and receive lighter updates.

Since its launch, Google has provided a handful of Go apps developed to specifically run in the Android Go environment. The number of Android Go devices is steadily increasing with Google reporting about 100 million monthly live devices.

Some devices that run Android Go include Huawei Y5 Lite, ZTE Blade L8, Nokia 1 Plus, Samsung J2 Core, and more.

Due to high demand, Google has released a new Camera Go app with the goal to improve entry-level cameras. With it, entry-level phones will be able to utilize Google’s top camera technology for a richer, upgraded camera experience.

Tha Camera Go app will be able to let users access Portrait Mode that’s normally available to mid and high-end smartphones. Google says that the Camera Go app doesn’t just add filters or features, it integrates closely to the phone’s actual camera system to produce clearer and more beautiful portrait photos.

The clean and simple interface is reminiscent of Google’s own camera app with easily accessible buttons and functions. The app will be able to track how many photos and video storage you have and will give you the option to clean up when you’re nearing capacity.

Camera Go will first launch with the Nokia 1.3 and will soon follow to other Android Go devices real soon.

Specs comparison: All the Huawei P40 models

Huawei has just revealed three new models for the P40 lineup through an online event. These handsets are armed with hardware that mainly focus on mobile photography and carry premium features to rival today’s flagship phones. Check out our specs and price comparison for the three variants and see which model could best suit your needs.

One of the main deciding factors, if you’re to choose between these three, is camera capabilities. The top-of-the-line P40 Pro Plus is equipped with two optical zoom cameras with up to 10x optical zoom. The P40 Pro has up to 5x optical zoom, and the base P40 goes up to 3x optical zoom.

Another difference lies in the build quality of its back. While both the P40 and P40 Pro come in Gorilla Glass protection, the P40 Pro Plus takes it a step further and goes for ceramic which is said to be as strong as sapphire.

In terms of similarities, the mid-tier P40 Pro shares the same specs as the P40 Pro Plus in display, front camera, battery size, among others. All three variants also run on the same Kirin 990 processor — a step up from the previous P30 Pro’s Kirin 980 CPU.

Apart from those specs, the new P40 series comes with Celia. Celia is your new voice assistant similar to Apple’s Siri or Amazon’s Alexa. And yes, you can call it by saying, “Hey Celia.” You can then ask it to make calls, set reminders, and perform tasks that voice assistants commonly do.

Pricing for the P40 series are as follows. The P40 and P40 Pro will be available globally come April 7, while the P40 Pro Plus will be up for grabs in June 2020.

  • Huawei P40 – EUR 799 (8GB/128GB)
  • Huawei P40 Pro – EUR 999 (8GB/256GB)
  • Huawei P40 Pro Plus – EUR 1,399 (8GB/512GB)
