Xiaomi’s sub-brand – Redmi has finally announced the Redmi Go – its first Android Go device and second smartphone under the independent Redmi brand. The device is as bare as every other Android Go smartphones in the market – missing out on all the trending feature in a modern smartphone.
The Redmi Go is equipped with the entry-level Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 with four Cortex-A53 cores running at 1.4GHz, 1GB RAM, and up to 16GB of expandable storage. Sadly, you are at liberty to chose between using the Dual SIM or a single SIM with a microSD card for memory expansion and not both.
