Back in May, we noticed that Google dropped the \u201cGo\u201d in \u201cGallery Go.\u201d At the same time, \u201cCamera Go\u201d quietly became \u201cCamera from Google\u201d as the company continues to remove that old branding.<\/p>\n

In mid-May, Google released version 3.3 (from 2.12) of its lightweight Camera application for lower-powered Android phones. The UI is lighter, while a counter indicates how many more photos can be captured with remaining storage.<\/p>\n

This update also renamed the application from \u201cCamera Go\u201d to just \u201cCamera\u201d with a new icon that’s near-identical (different color palette) to the logo found on Pixel phones. The Play Store listing was notably renamed to \u201cCamera from Google.\u201d It’s a handful, and presumably a result of \u201cGoogle Camera\u201d being taken.<\/p>\n

The Camera app from Google helps you capture beautiful images, fast.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Use Portrait Mode to give your photos a professional look by focusing on your subject, as the background appears gently blurred.
\u2022 Capture memories at any time of day without the flash, keeping colors rich and details crisp by using Night Mode (available on select devices).
\u2022 With smart storage features and early warning notifications, Camera makes sure you never miss a moment by helping you free up space for your photos when you need it.
\u2022 With Google Lens built into the Camera app, you can see the world in your language by pointing your camera lens at the foreign text.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

With Camera and Gallery dropping the \u201cGo\u201d branding and YouTube Go shutting down next month, it’s clear that a shift is underway. Android 12 (Go edition) \u2013 which is the official name \u2013 was announced in December with meaningful improvements. The next version should be announced by year’s end if Google remains committed to the platform.<\/p>\n

At this point, it’s not clear whether the company is just updating branding or taking a new approach to reach the Next Billion Users. There is the \u201cCreated with Google\u201d JioPhone Next running an Android\/Pragati OS. A case can certainly be made for very affordable hardware to address different market needs and a lightweight operating system to complement.<\/p>\n
