Redmi Go First Impression

[Hermes Hidayat]

So i was looking through an online store and Xiaomi Redmi GO(1GB RAM/8GB ROM)caught my attention.why?because it costs $63(in Indonesia) and it comes with Android 8.1 Oreo GO Edition and not to forget the 3000mAh battery.sort of like Microsoft Surface GO with Windows 10 S Mode.

Well this isnt actually the kind of smartphone to play games such as PUBG,Mobile Legends or Ragnarok.its a basic Android phone but its quite pleasant to use too.and eventhough it has only 1 bottom firing speaker.it is actually LOUD for the price.might be a bit of cracking if volume is put to maximum.And it has headphone jack located at the top.

The build quality is Good.no loose ends.even better than Samsung M20 if you ask me.and the screen isnt as sharp as my S10 Plus,but for $63 i can live with it.

The only downside i found was the 8GB of ROM.even before installing apps,4GB of ROM has already been used for the System.but i cant really complain much as it is $63.

And the phone isnt the speediest of the year but it gets the job done.people who use a Microsoft Surface GO would understand me.

Thus i would recommend anyone to get this as a 2nd phone.thanks.

Thanks for the review! Yeah, I wouldn't expect an Android Go phone to have much internal storage, since many of the apps are just web wrappers anyway.

Yes web wrappers.i just hate the youtube go app since i cant do much with it but i cant install the youtube app.

But 1 thing for sure is that im kinda shocked at the performance as it is not bad.
