Microsoft's statement also includes that this update will show the most improvement on devices that are running Android KitKat 4.0.3 to Android Lollipop 5.1, certainly older versions of the operating system. With this update, the app would be revamped for cheaper, lower-end Android devices.
Adapting apps to be "lighter on both disk and memory consumption", as Skype is doing, is a new and necessary trend to accommodate the growing markets who seek out affordable phones. It will arrive with better audio and video quality.
"In the coming weeks, the update will be rolled out around the world, so no need to worry if you are not seeing the update just yet", the Skype Team concludes. The step looks pretty similar to Android Go which requires less processing power, storage and RAM. This isn't the first time where tech giants are introducing apps for lower-end devices. If you are an Android user with an older version on your phone or tablet and you also happen to use Skype, then this update will certainly be a welcomed change.

USC baseball falls in rubber game with Clemson
Cortes added an RBI single in the eighth to cut the lead to 7-5, and USC quickly put the pressure on Clemson in the ninth. The home run was the first of the year for Hopkins, who was 2-for-5 on the day with one run scored and three RBIs.
To accommodate these issues, Twitter released its "data-friendly" Lite version last September, which, under 1MB, loads more quickly, takes up less space and functions better over poor networks.
The company said it is releasing a new "optimized" version of Skype which will perform better on devices running versions 4.0.3 to 5.1. of the Android operating system.
This version is equally important in places where people can not afford taking costlier smartphones and in case they are not available.
