Google: Android One continues to grow, Android Go reigns the low-end

And it shows. The growing popularity of the much-optimized and stripped-down Android One has led to numerous announcements of Android One devices over the past year or so. Even here in Barcelona, Nokia announced three new Android One-powered handsets - Nokia 9 PureView, Nokia 4.2 and Nokia 3.2.
In the meantime, Android Go has taken a huge chunk of the low-end segment as it delivers the best possible user experience on devices having just 1GB of RAM. Take the Nokia 1 Plus as an example.
Google also revealed that it's working with Qualcomm and MediaTek to bring chip-level support for Android's Neural Network API and ML kit.
