Close on the heels of Redmi Note 7 and Note 7 Pro (review), Xiaomi has scheduled the India launch of the Redmi Go phone on March 19. The Redmi Go, which was earlier launched in Europe, would be an ultra-affordable stock Android Go phone priced at under Rs 5000.
Xiaomi Redmi Go Highlights
The highlight of the Redmi Go would be Google’s Android Go (8.1 Oreo Edition) software. Android Go is a trimmed down version of Stock Android that’s specifically optimized for its low-end hardware. Redmi Go features an ecosystem of Go series of apps downloadable from the Play store. They are the “lite” version of Google’s popular apps meant to run on low-end devices.
Needless to say, this new Redmi phone would be quite minimalistic. Redmi Go would sport a 5-inch HD display with a 1,280 x 720 resolution and 16:9 aspect ratio. You could do photography with an 8MP rear camera (with LED flash) and 5MP front camera. The rear camera is coupled with an LED flash. You could grab it in varied colors like blue, red, black, and others.
