The Xiaomi Redmi Go is powered by a Snapdragon 425 chipset with four Cortex-A53 cores running at 1.4GHz. The phone has a 1GB RAM, and either an 8GB or a 16GB internal storage. Both internal storages can be expanded via a microSD card slot. The issue is that you have to choose between an extra storage and your second SIM, because you cannot have both.
Looking at the battery, the Xiaomi Redmi Go has a 3000mAh battery capacity, which is indeed decent considering the tiny screen and modest chipset.

Xiaomi Redmi Go Price
The Xiaomi Redmi Go price starts at €80 in Europe. The Philippine price is yet to be announced, as well as its availability in other parts of the world.
