Xiaomi has been an extraordinary brand for Nepalese People and Nepali market as well. After being an independent brand, Redmi launched the Redmi Go phone in China last month. Xiaomi Redmi Go phone might be an entry-level phone for the beginners who are about to use a phone for the first time. We can speculate the company to launch it here in Nepal too. The expected price range of this phone will be under 10,000 which if comes true, makes it pretty affordable. On this price range, this might be the best option for people who are planning to buy a new smartphone this year with some nice features and a good brand name as well.
