So far Facebook Lite was only available in Africa, Asia, South America and a few European countries, but now it has also been released for Western countries. On the official page to Facebook Lite, it is also stated that the app works well on old Android phones (requirement is at least Android 2.2), the data consumption is lower and the load times are shorter.
