Design
From
a HD resolution screen to camera on the front and back, the Redmi
Go covers all the basics right. Design wise, the phone might look
from a previous generation of smartphones due to its plastic built,
thick bezels around screen, capacitive navigation keys with no
backlit, etc. However, considering the phone’s ultra-affordable
price tag, it does not look cheap. It rather looks better than most
smartphones in its segment.
Camera
The
Redmi Go has a capable camera module on the front and back. The rear
m odule has an 8-megapixel sensor, paired with a LED flash that also
doubles up as a torch. Though the camera interface is basic, it is
loaded with features such as 13 filters, 11 scenes for manual
selections, auto HDR mode, etc. The rear camera is also capable of
recording fullHD resolution videos. The 5MP camera on the front is a
decent one too. It supports face recognition, beauty mode, filters,
and auto HDR.
Output
from both the cameras are at best satisfactory. However, it is way
better than the output captured by VGA or 2MP cameras that most
feature phones offer.
