Going by the market reports, Xiaomi is expected to launch the new Redmi Go phone by the first half of 2019. Moreover, the company will also be launching Redmi 7, Redmi 7 Pro and Redmi 7A around the same time.

As the phone will be powered by Android Go, it is believed that the smartphone will be low on hardware specs. The smartphone is expected to sport 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal space, that we have already seen on other Android Go smartphones from Nokia and Samsung.

Moving on to the most important aspect - Pricing, it is believed that the Redmi Go phone will be the cheapest offering from Xiaomi in the Indian market. Currently, Redmi 6A is the cheapest phone from Xiaomi in India, which is priced at Rs 5999. As Redmi Go Phone will be positioned below Redmi 6A, the company will be looking to price the smartphone pretty competitively.
