Samsung India on Tuesday launched its first "Android Go" budget smartphone in India. Galaxy J2 Core is priced at 6,190, and it is available across retail stores and the Samsung's e-store online.

Android Oreo (Go) is essentially made for entry-level Android smartphones with less than 1GB RAM and hence uses less storage space, less memory and still functions smoothly. Originally announced at Google I/O 2017 annual developer conference, this OS is a toned down version of the latest Android Oreo OS which is currently present in high-end devices.
