Xiaomi Redmi Go Features
The Xiaomi Redmi Go comes in a modest 5 inch

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 Release Date
The Xiaomi Redmi Go is slated for release
this February, but the exact date was not officially stated. You will get an
update on this site once it is announced.
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.
