Specifications

Hardware

The Redmi Go has several similarities with the 4A and 5A. All three phones have the same display and processor, however the Redmi Go has less RAM, less storage and a lower resolution camera.[10] The dimensions and battery size are also identical to that of the 5A. A polycarbonate unibody construction is used, and black and blue color options are available. It lacks USB-C and instead relies on an older MicroUSB port.[11] Neither a fingerprint sensor nor facial recognition are present.[1]

Software

The Redmi Go runs on Android 8.1 "Oreo" Go Edition and does not use MIUI unlike other Redmi phones.[11]

Reception

Gadgets360 gave the Go a 7/10, praising the device's affordability, design and battery life, while criticizing the cameras as well as the limited RAM and storage.[12]
