Google has already officially filed Adiantum. It is a new encryption that is launched specifically for low-end smartphones. This encryption seeks to offer protection for all users. It is launched as an alternative to AES, encryption that we find in the medium and high range in the market. But in the low range, the processor is not always compatible.

Therefore, in many cases, the experience of use is not positive, because the operation is slow. With this new method, based on the ChaCha20 flow encryption, we seek to change this.
New Google encryption
The key is that Adiantum works faster than other systems such as AES, but maintains its security at all times. With this new encryption system, Google has thought about low-end Android. Since these models are sold in many countries, especially in developing countries. Therefore, it is sought that these models are also safe at all times.
It is a good option for users who have a smartphone with Android Go as the operating system. Especially because they tend to be less powerful models, with little RAM. So this encryption would adapt better.
Manufacturers with Android Pie can activate this new encryption of Google on their phones. Therefore, it is likely that the following smartphones that come to stores with this version of the operating system in the low range make use of it.
