'Android Go has made smartphones more accessible by focusing on
lower-cost devices, but it's frequently pokey and sometimes insecure
-- not a great introduction to modern mobile tech. Google is aware of
this, though, and it's tackling those issues head-on with its newly
unveiled Android 10 Go edition. From a report:

The scaled-back version of Android 10 puts a strong focus on speed,
with faster and more memory-efficient app switching as well as
launching that's 10 percent faster than in Android 9 Go. It should be
more reliable, too. For some, data protection may be the real star of
the show. Android 10 Go edition includes a new Adiantum encryption
system that should secure data without affecting performance or
requiring special hardware. You won't have to worry that your
sensitive info is vulnerable simply because you bought an entry-level
device.'
