Redmi Go was launched in the Philippines in the month of January, and priced at at PHP 3,990 (roughly Rs. 5,400).

Now, in India, cheapest Xiaomi smartphone is Redmi 6a, which is right now priced at Rs 5999.

As per tech observers, Xiaomi may price Redmi Go at Rs 5000 or even lesser amount, as the USP of ‘India’s cheapest smartphone’ is too hard to let go.

Another observation: The announcement of Redmi Go launch in India made by Manu Kumar Jain is in India: It is very rare that Xiaomi announces the launch date in Hindi, and that too with a Hindi hashtag.

Here is the Tweet:

After translation, the tweet states that now millions of India will be able to experience a smartphone.

The hashtag which Xiaomi used is #AapkiNayiDuniya, which literally means ‘Your New World’.

This clearly means that Redmi Go has been targeted for first-time smartphone users, and with this logic, the price has to be under Rs 5000, and even under Rs 4000, to create maximum impact.

Only Nokia 1 and Samsung Galaxy J2 has Android Go as of now, and now, it will be Redmi Go.
