Microsoft has released the new Outlook Lite app for Android phones with low-end specs and for areas with unreliable network connectivity. News of a lighter Outlook app made rounds last month and now this has become official. Here are the details to know.
The Outlook Lite app will be 5MB in size, which is smaller as compared to the original Outlook app and is expected to provide a faster performance even on “lightweight” phones with RAM as low as 1GB. This is also meant to run well in any network, including 2G and 3G globally. So, if you are in a place with low internet, you may still be able to send important emails.
Microsoft’s blog post says, “With Outlook Lite, our goal is to make Outlook more accessible to users who are on lightweight mobile devices across the world empowering them to achieve more.“
The app joins the various lighter apps available, coming from Meta and Google. The Outlook Lite Android app is now available in India, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, and Venezuela. More countries are expected to get it in the future.
