MobilityArena Buyer’s Guide Verdict
The Xiaomi Redmi Go is one of the best built entry-level phones we have seen, thanks to the signature Xiaomi design style and materials. Plus it offers 4G LTE. However, it lacks a fingerprint reader. In use, it runs smooth for regular tasks but will naturally balk if you try to push it too hard.
If LTE band 28 is important to you, be sure to confirm that the model you are buying actually supports it, because that feature is not available on units sold everywhere.
