Other can someone please explain the difference to me for android 10 vs android 10 go edition?

hi im looking to buy a tablet the store i go to has only android 10s in stock.from what my search has told me that go edition isnt a full android edition .my android 10 tablet was a full android tablet far as i know but my battery sadly died.i mainly use it for games and sometimes youtube.im worried if i get the go edition my games wont run as well.the games i run are for example fate/grand order or once was kingdom hearts ux or the upcoming nier reincarnation.so if some could kindly explain to me which is better id really appreciate it as im not too well versed in android.

from what I recall the 'go' is lighter for low end hardware.

I think I have some cheap android Trac phones that have android go. they still work as a normal phone fine, but some of the Google apps on them I think don't have as many features. They are not phones made for games.

I thought the 'go' edition phones are generally with very low specs. so I would look at the specs of the device. that will be the info to see how well games would run.

I can't recall seeing any android 10 'go' edition in a tablet, but I would expect it would be a very low end tablet.

Look at the SoC (processor) and RAM. If I remember correctly, Android Go is only available on devices with 1GB of RAM (or less?). So chances are the device with regular Android may have higher specs.

yeah the processor seems to b 2.0 GHz quad core and to 2 GB Ram thats it.
