Xiaomi Redmi Go Launch on March 19: What to Expect?

The Redmi Go is an interesting handset from Xiaomi. The Redmi 6A which is the Chinese company’s full-fledged entry-level Android smartphone is priced at an aggressive Rs 5,999. And there’s no doubt that the Redmi Go’s price will be aggressive in India to appeal the first-time smartphone buyers. If it launches at Rs 3,999, it will eat up the market share of JioPhone 2 which is available at Rs 2,999 in India.

The problem right now in the Indian market is there isn’t a good smartphone under Rs 5,000. We have options like the Nokia 1 and other Android Go phones from Lava and Micromax, but they have sub-par hardware. However, that’s not the case with Redmi Go as the phone comes powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 SoC, which was used on the Redmi 4A and 5A smartphones a couple of years ago. Some might feel that Xiaomi is offering an older chipset, but there isn’t a better one available in the sub-Rs 5,000 segment.
