Despite the ever-increasing rise of instant messaging, the reality is that more and more people are not satisfied with just being able to talk to their friends and family through text messages.
All the video calls have been one of the great demands made on applications like WhatsApp, and Google has recently tried to find a solution to this need, by launching duo.
Everything you need to know about Duo
Main features of Duo
Duo is the application of Google video calls that has been launched recently, to facilitate communication between users of smartphones both Android and iOS.
Starting to use Duo is quite simple, since like WhatsApp, is identified by your phone number. Therefore, you will only have to access your list to see which of the contacts you have in the agenda are Duo users. Once you have selected the one with whom you want to talk, you will simply have to press the corresponding button to start making a voice call.
One of the novelties that this service incorporates with respect to the rest of the video call applications is the knock-knock function, with which we can see the face of the person who is calling us, without having to answer the call, which brings a new dimension to communication.
The application is designed to work with all types of Internet connections (wifi, 2G, 3G, 4G). If for whatever reason it notices a poor signal quality, it will automatically adjust the video resolution or automatically switch to a voice conversation so you don't have to hang up the call. Your main requirement is to have Android 4.1 or higher.
The most important asset that this android application plays is its extreme simplicity, which is why the opinions on google play qualify it with 4,4 stars out of 5 possible, finding a good number of comments about its ease of use and simplicity, as well as stability in video calls and good audio.

Duo is available from now in the Google Play Store, so if you have a smartphone with the corresponding version of Android or higher, you can start using it right now, since it is also a completely free application. Here is the download link:
