After launching almost two months ago, the Redmi Go is now available in India. This is the first Android Go smartphone from Xiaomi/Redmi and just like other Android Go phones, its specs are entry-level.
The Redmi Go has a 5-inch 720p display with a 16:9 aspect ratio. It is powered by the Snapdragon 425 quad-core processor and is paired with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage. With a dedicated MicroSD card slot that allows you add up to 128GB of storage, you shouldn’t have to worry about running out of space.
There is a 5MP camera for selfies with AI Beautify and an 8MP camera with LED flash on the back. The camera app is said to have 13 different filters, 11 different scenes, and an HDR mode. The phone can also record videos in 1080p.
The Redmi Go runs Android Oreo (Go Edition) out of the box even though Android Pie (Go Edition) is already available. The phone comes with apps like Mail Go, YouTube Go, and Maps Go. There is also Google Assistant (Go Edition) with support for over 5 languages including Hindi. There is a 3,000mAh battery under the hood that charges via a MicroUSB port. It also has a 3.5mm audio jack at the bottom but no IR sensor. The Redmi Go has dual SIM support but doesn’t support dual 4G. There is Bluetooth 4.2 and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi for connectivity.
The phone comes in blue and black and will sell for INR 4,499 (~$65). It will be available for purchase by 12 PM on March 22.
