So, my previous phone was a Nokia 2.1 which runs on android 8.1 oreo (go edition).
Simply put, my experience with it wasn't a pleasant one.
Even though it didn't lag, it was at an unbearable cost:
The issue being closing of apps.
Like if you leave an app (most apps) for just 30 seconds, it restarts when you return.
It was almost like using a Java phone that cannot minimize.

I'm about to get a new phone, and I'm rooting for Tecno Spark 2.
The 1gb RAM variant runs on Android GO, so I just want to find out if users of this phone, or any other phone running Android GO experienced similar issues, to confirm if that's just how android GO is built. Then maybe I would consider the 2gb RAM variant.

Thank y'all

Get a 2gb ram variant

That's how Android GO does, just go for the 2gb ram variant

Thanks already.
But, is the RAM the only difference between both variants ?

The device is 4G enabled, that's what's important to know. Whether it works for glo or not depends on your location.

Thanks. I already decided to get it (2gb RAM).

The Android GO edition is built to forcefully close apps in order to conserve memory and prevent lagging, so it'll be the same regardless of the device.

So if anyone intends to do a substantial amount of multi-tasking, an Android GO device certainly isn't for them.

Unfortunately, (will I be right to use the word "unfortunately?) Android is not just one variant anymore.

Now, there is need to check what variant runs on the phone you are looking at buying.
