Xiaomi is all set to announce a new budget smartphone here in India next week. Xiaomi has started teasing about the launch of the Redmi Go smartphone in India on 19th March. Redmi Go was launched officially in the Philippines last month. Android Go platform was announced a couple of years ago and after a few smartphones makers like Moto, Spice, Lava, Nokia, and more.
With Android Oreo (Go edition), Google has optimized its OS platform, first-party apps, and the Google Play Store to improve the capabilities of entry-level devices. Limited processing power and storage are top pain points for entry-level device users. Android Oreo (Go edition) was created to not only address these issues but to also ensure that the devices are secure and that users have more control over data usage.
In the camera department, Redmi Go features an 8MP rear camera with f/2.0 aperture and LED flash while it houses a 5MP front camera with f/2.2 aperture. We expect it to be somewhere around INR 4,500 and this smartphone will be aimed at the buyers who will be getting the smartphone for the first time. The device is expected to come out in two color options – Black and Blue. Flipkart has also started teasing about the launch.
