Many leading smartphone makers such as Samsung and Huawei have launched Android Go smartphones in the recent past. Xiaomi is one of the companies that is yet to release an Android Go. Rumors that had surfaced around March this year had claimed that Xiaomi may release an Android Go phone in Europe with 100 euros price tag, but it didn’t come true. Now that the Redmi Go name has surfaced through Singapore’s IMDA certification, it seems that its launch may not be far away. The handset may go official in Q1 2019 next year.
