Xiaomi Redmi Go will be a Flipkart exclusive in India, launch set for March 19

Xiaomi is gearing to launch what could be its most affordable smartphone to date in India – Android Go-based Redmi Go. Xiaomi will launch Redmi Go in India on March 19, and company is w teasing a couple of India-specific nuggets phone will pack – in dition to fact that Redmi Go will be sold exclusively via Flipkart (and quite possibly also via Xiaomi’s own Mi.com/in store). 

Redmi Go is alrey a go in select markets which means we alrey kw everything about it. Xiaomi says Redmi Go India variant will natively support 20+ regional langus and a Google Assistant that will be able to understand Hindi langu. 

As is case with all Android Go phones, Redmi Go will also be geared towards an audience that is looking to make a switch from a feature phone to a smartphone – without burning a hole in ir pocket. main USP of Xiaomi Redmi Go will be Android Go software which is essentially a trimmed down version of stock Android software you find in Google’s own Pixel phones – it is a step down from Google’s Android Go specifically designed for entry-level phones with bare-bones hardware (with less than 1GB of RAM).  

Xiaomi alrey has an entry-level Redmi 6A that it sells in India at a starting price of Rs 5,999 – Redmi Go should be even more affordable. In fact, more than Xiaomi, Redmi Go will be an opportunity for Google’s Android Go to shine (finally) - needless to say, a lot will depend on its pricing. 

Speaking of specs, Redmi Go is an entry-level Android Go phone boasting of an all-plastic body and a conventional 5-inch 16:9 display with 720p resolution. phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 processor clubbed with 1GB RAM and 8GB of internal stor which is expandable using a dedicated micro-SD card slot. dual-SIM phone supports 4G LTE connectivity and pack a 3,000mAh battery. On camera front, Redmi Go comes with an 8MP rear camera and a 5MP front-facing camera. 

It is a little disappointing that Redmi Go runs Android 8.1 Oreo Go edition out-of--box and t Android Pie but at least it will be a completely stock experience like one we see in Xiaomi’s Android One-backed Mi A2. Hopefully it will be updated to Pie soon eugh.
