Xiaomi Redmi Go

Entry-level is the operative word here. The Snapdragon 425 chipset and 1GB RAM mean this phone is built for calls, messaging, and basic apps rather than heavy multitasking, and Android Oreo Go edition is Google's lighter build made specifically for this kind of hardware. The 5.0-inch IPS LCD panel runs at 720 x 1280, which is modest but fine for a budget device this size. Xiaomi Redmi Go price in Malaysia starts from RM258, putting it firmly in ultra-budget territory.

Camera-wise you get an 8MP rear shooter with autofocus and a 5MP front camera, enough for casual snapshots but not much beyond that. The 3000mAh battery is a reasonable size for a phone this light at 137g, and dual SIM plus a dedicated microSD slot (up to 128GB) add practical flexibility for storage-hungry users on a tight budget.

There's no fingerprint sensor or fast charging here, so if those matter to you, look elsewhere. But for a second phone, a backup device, or someone who just needs the basics covered, the spec sheet matches the price point honestly.
