A couple of years ago when the company introduced Redmi 5A, it used the tagline “Desh Ka Naya Smartphone”, and now it seems with the Redmi Go Xiaomi will aim to make it a device for those buying their very first smartphone.

In Europe, the smartphone is priced €80, which is approximately Rs 6,513. And given the tough competition in India, especially with the entry-level segment being very lucrative, it will be interesting to see how Xiaomi prices the smartphone in India.
