MediaTek good to Go

by Nick Farrell on07 December 2017 We will probably see them in the first quarter

MediaTek today announced that it is a System-on-Chip (SoC) partner for Google’s Android Oreo (Go edition) software to smartphone makers.

With Android Oreo (Go edition), Google has optimised its OS platform, first party apps and the Google PlayStore to improve the capabilities of entry level devices. Limited processing power and storage are top pain points for entry-level device users.

Android Oreo (Go edition) uses the Google Play Store ecosystem to deliver apps that run smoothly on low memory devices.

Android & Google Play VP of Product Management Sameer Samat said:“Entry-level devices are the gateway to the internet for many people, and we want to make sure everyone has a great experience when they use these devices.

“We’re excited that Android Oreo (Go edition) will significantly improve storage, performance, data management, and security.”

MediaTek’s Wireless Communication business General Manager TL Lee said that today’s announcement builds upon its existing work with Google, including its recent collaboration on Google’s GMS Express to speed up the certification process.

Android Oreo (Go edition) uses MediaTek’s turnkey references and chipsets that are designed specifically to reduce product development time and compliance testing.

Android Oreo (Go edition) smartphones powered by MediaTek will be available in the worldwide market by Q1, 2018.
