Skype Lite for Low-End Android Phones Launched: All You Need to Know..

At the Microsoft Future Decoded Conference in Mumbai on Wednesday, CEO Satya Nadella launched the Skype Lite app, a lighter version of the popular video calling and messaging app Skype. The new Skype Lite app is less resource-intensive than Skype and has most of its features, and is designed to work on low-end smartphones. Along with this, Microsoft also announced Skype + Aadhaar, a project the company has mentioned several times in the past and is finally launching with Skype Lite.

What does Skype Lite do?

The new Skype Lite Android app - now available on G
oogle Play - has been launched by Microsoft for India, and specifically for middle-to-low range handsets. It was developed in Microsoft's research and development centre in Hyderabad, and at this point the company does not plan to release it in other countries.
Eugene Ho, Director of Product Management at Skype, explained that although Skype has "millions" of users in India, a large proportion of these are using lower-end phones, not high end Android or iOS devices. "Not only that, although there has been a high speed 4G rollout in India," Ho added, "you will still frequently find the speeds dropping to 3G or even 2G levels as you're out and about, and these are still used in a wide part of India. That's why we created Skype Lite
