Xiaomi has a habit of whipping out new phones with category-defying features and specifications, much to the continuing delight of Indian smartphone buyers. This has catapulted the company to the number one position in terms of market share in just a few years' time. Xiaomi has made a name for itself with its hardware as well as the custom MIUI Android ROM, which has loads of features and a number of loyal fans. Why is why, the company's decision to release an entry-level smartphone with very basic specifications and the cut-down Android Go operating system came as a bit of a surprise.
The Xiaomi Redmi Go is an extremely affordable smartphone that will automatically appeal to people on a tight budget, but it also has enough features for those who just want a simple phone without fancy bells and whistles. The processor is fairly entry-level and you won't be able to run today's popular action games, but it's enough for calls, messaging apps, and social media. Similarly, the camera just about covers the basics, but you'll be disappointed if you want to preserve your memories in the highest quality.
The RAM and storage are very limited but you can add a microSD card. The screen is relatively good for a phone priced this low. Battery life is also good, and you won't find much to fault about build quality.
Redmi Go price in India starts from ₹ 4,999. The lowest price of Redmi Go is ₹ 4,999 at Amazon on 24th August 2025. This Phone is available in 1 other variant like 16GB with colour options like Black and Blue.
