Why Do You Need the Google Go App on an Old Android Device
While associated with some of the largest technologies and most popular devices currently available, Google also develops products and services for places with limited infrastructure and resources. One of these products, the optimized Google Go search app, is now available worldwide for all Android users.
Google Go was developed for Android Go devices, which are mainly sold in regions where connection speeds are slow or unreliable. Since the app is now ubiquitous, it can be used by any Android device running Android 5.0 Lollipop or higher.
If you have a newer Android device, especially flagship phones like the Galaxy S10 or Pixel 3, Google Go probably won’t make much of a difference to you, so we recommend sticking to your device’s existing features for doing Google searches. …
However, Google Go is absolutely worth it if you are using an old smartphone or live somewhere with limited network connectivity. At just 7MB, Google Go has less data and system requirements compared to most apps, making it ideal for slower devices.
And the app will not only provide you with basic search functionality. Recent updates to the app have added Google Lens, which acts as an ersatz Google translator, as well as Read Aloud, which dictates text on web pages. This is a decent list of add-ons for your 2014 Android device.
