Android Go, officially Android Go Edition, is a stripped-down version of Android distribution designed for low-end and ultra-budget smartphones, first made available for Android Oreo.

Android One is a family of third-party Android smartphones promoted by Google. In comparison to many third-party Android devices, which ship with a manufacturer's customized user interface and bundled apps, these devices run near-stock versions of Android with limited modifications, and a focus on Google services (although they may still feature software enhancements to support the features of included hardware, such as cameras). Android One devices receive OS updates for at least two years after their release, and security patches for at least three years.
