Editorial report

Xiaomi Redmi Go technical sheet

The Xiaomi Redmi Go suits anyone looking for a compact, basic phone, but its 3000 mAh battery holds less than most phones of its time. It is notably light: at 137 g, it is among the lightest phones of its era. The 5-inch IPS LCD display has 720 × 1280 px resolution and Gorilla Glass 3 protection.

Its 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage are lower than what most phones launched around the same time offer. Storage can be expanded with a card up to 128 GB, leaving room for more files. At 8.35 mm thick, it is slightly thinner than average for its time.

The rear camera pairs an 8 MP resolution with a 1/4″ sensor, among the smallest of its era. Everyday connections include 4G, dual Nano-SIM, Wi-Fi 4, Bluetooth 4.1 and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Performance, camera and battery are worse than most phones of its time; the display is also worse than most, while connectivity is below average. With a NeoScore of 2.7, the Redmi Go is best understood as a basic phone for people who value a light design and essential features.
