Perhaps the Google News and Weather application is a bit forgotten, but it is without a doubt one of the fastest ways to find out about the latest events and the most relevant news. Following the example of the newly renewed YouTube Go , now it is the turn of the Google News and Time application, which is switched to a "Lite" mode optimized for slow connections .
Recall that a few days ago was launched Youtube Go, a light version of the Youtube application and the Google News and Time application has happened to him the same. This is because Android's expansion does not want to leave out developing countries, where mobile data traffic connections still use 2G and 3G technologies .
Even in developed areas, operators have quite restrictive limits regarding the use of mobile data, so these Lite versions are a great invention . Google does not want to lose potential customers in any corner of the world, so it adapts its applications to the conditions of all possible users or rather, customers.
In Android has always been a bad habit to launch applications without optimizing and without meeting the hardware specifications. One of the most talked about examples is the Facebook application itself, which not only has an excessive size, but has been shown several times that affects the overall performance of the device. FaceBook also ended up launching a Lite application from its client.
The new version of the News and Time application of Google, is able to compress the data so that the news load in less time and also consumes 33% less data. If we have the automatic mode activated, the data saving mode is activated automatically when the application detects that we are in a slow connection . Two other options allow us to keep the data saving mode "always off" or "always on" .
