Spotify – a popular service of music streaming, has just released an announcement of Spotify Lite app in India. The company introduces Lite months after the full service was launched in this country in February. It was said that this Lite version of Spotify is the same as those of other apps.

This Lite app’s aim is to support older smartphones having limited storage and processing power. Moreover, though the app was revealed to have been kept light for its better performance, its size is only about 10MB. Therefore, it is easy for users to download the app.
