Alongside the Allo messaging app, Google also announced a very straightforward video calling application dubbed as Duo. This app is a mobile-only service which is tailored with the user’s phone number.
Duo: A Simple and Reliable Video Calling App
The
Duo is Google’s initiative to bring users back into video calling. The app is
similar to FaceTime only that it performs fast even with slow network
connection. Duo is very simple, opening it will immediately direct you to
the video interface.
One
of its note-worthy features is the Knock Knock which gives you a live preview of
your caller even before you pick up the call. Thus, giving you a heads-up on the importance of the call.
Video
qualities will be in 720p HD. However, if you’re signal is weak, Duo will
automatically adjust the quality based on the network strength. This means that
it’ll work wherever you are.
Google
made the app zippy with insanely fast performance. This video companion to Allo
app is one of the most reliable video calling applications to hit our smartphones. It’ll
become available to Android and iOS soon.
