Are you bothered with memory usage, data storage and connectivity issues while using your favourite applications? then here is the end for your bothering..Facebook Lite now available for low-end Android Smartphones.

Facebook has quietly launched a new and small version of its app called, appropriately enough, Facebook Lite on Thursday, June 4, which is simpler, lighter and faster than the existing Facebook app.. However, the app has been made and is currently only available, for a few emerging markets and is targeting low-end Android devices that are stuck on slower 2G networks where bandwidth conservation is a priority.

“We want to offer people a choice so if there are limitations, they can still get the full Facebook experience,” says Vijay Shankar, product manager for Facebook Lite.

Primarily designed for the lower-end Android devices, Facebook Lite is meant for 2G networks that uses less data. Facebook Lite is only 252k in size, and apparently only available, at least for now, in just eight countries in Africa and Asia: Bangladesh, Nepal, Nigeria, South Africa, Sudan, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Zimbabwe. In many of these countries, people still use 2G networks, which are much slower and have less power than the 4G networks in many developed nations. Facebook Lite is based on the company’s Snaptu-built feature phone client, it does have some Android-specific features like push notifications and camera integration.

Overall, this new app would seem to be an effort by Facebook to expand its user base even more. It supports all Facebook’s news feed, status updates, notifications and photos except videos and advanced location services. It’s seeing limited testing markets at the moment, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see it expanding to more markets in the coming months. If you happen to live in one of those countries, check it out on Google Play and let us know what you think.
