Reportedly, Android 10 Go edition will let users switch between apps 10 percent faster. The new version of the operating system will also have a new form of encryption. “Encryption underpins our digital security, as it protects your data even if your device falls into the wrong hands. That’s why Android 10 (Go edition) includes a new form of encryption, built by Google for entry-level smartphones, called ‘Adiantum’,” Google said at the time of the announcement.

Essentially, Adiantum will run efficiently without specialised hardware, which means all Go edition users will have the same level of data security as any Android device, without compromising performance.
