Anonymous, 07 Dec 2022i bought it because my redmi 9 broke, is a good one for the... moreEven google have only 5 lite apps for Android GO.
1. Google map.
2. Google chrome.
3. Google go.
4. Google one.
5. Google email.

Other than these apps google android go edition doesn't have lite version. Why google not have lite versions for their apps? and why they have google android go edition?.
Play store have only few lite apps, I think we better to shift to hormony os, it's privacy and security is better I think. Specially browser is awesome for privacy and security.

          I bought this phone recently for 60 in the uk. And I think it's plenty good enough. I use my phone for calls , texts and streaming videos , for me it works perfectly well. It all depends what you want to do with the phone as to whether it suits your needs. If you are a gamer or want to use lots of power intensive apps then it's not the phone for you. For someone looking for a simple phone, or a child's first phone it is ideal. People have become too used to flagship phones, of course any cheaper phone will pale into comparison against that. This phone isn't trying to be a flagship, it's just trying to be practical

            i bought it because my redmi 9 broke, is a good one for the price, just because u can put 2gb more of virtual ram, the system is fluid but lags in all aps, i recomended use lite versions of apps and is perfect for the price youtube lags with videos of 60 fps, just use it with a low resolution

                  Anonymous, 16 Nov 2022A03 core is good but redmi a1 good too,but i dont want a li... moreThat's true. Now day by day this phone becoming worse.

                  1.Camera image isn't clear and too much of dark (black colour) in day time also.
                  2. Apps updates are delay compare to nokia c21 plus.
                  3. Can't delete unwanted apps and increase the internal storage.
                  4. So many apps are running in background and it wasting the mobile and wifi data.
                  5. Smoothness is very low.

                  Good feature.

                  1. Battery backup is awesome.

                  Now i don't use this phone last week onwards. I'm using galaxy a03 core.

                      after install xiaomi app installer update.

                      Camera rear and front quality is worse.
                      Apps working slowly.
                      Google apps not get updates for latest version, it's always delay compare to galaxy a04.
                      Can't uninstall unwanted apps.
                      Internal memory is low.
                      Gpu is stuck for browsers.

                      Earlier android go redmi is good.
                      This phone is overall bad. Xiaomi need to go to clean go edition without miui.

                        Mic privacy is missing in this phone.
                        App taking some times to open.
                        Gpu performance is low for web browser.
                        Internal storage is low.
                        4g band is always searching for signal tower.
                        Miui graphics is very heavy for this mediatek a22 quad core cpu.
                        Xiaomi need to fix this bug.

                            Today I got it. Using since past few hours and here are my observations :
                            1. OS is a mix of android 12 go and miui. Few stuffs like dialer, sms, cleaner app etc were injected in android 12 go. Otherwise it's quite good.
                            2. The app opening time is a bit slower. Else it doesn't hang etc. When you add a SD card, that SD card can be used as internal storage.
                            3. Charging is way too much slower. But battery backup looks good.
                            4. Speaker is single and adequately loud and placed on top side. This is a good move. People from village area with lower hearing capability can turn speaker and talk easily.
                            5. Camera is very good given the price point.

                                Cwytch, 11 Nov 2022microusb phone in 2022??? just really baaaaaaaaaad!!! Not only usb b port,

                                it's cpu is quad core only not octa core.
                                The latest miui v.13.0.13.0 is very heavy for it's cpu and always google apps (chrome , youtube , yt music , tts of google) are working slowly.
                                Very difficult to search 4g band.
                                Internal storage isn't enough, 99% apps cant uninstall it.s fixed.
                                No clean android version (not like earlier redmi phone).
                                Volume not enough for video and music.

                                Good side

                                call clarity is very good.
                                Design is awesome.
                                Charging speed is fast compare to other usb b port phone.
                                Front camera is good for video chat.
                                Google play store all apps are supported.

                                      AnonD-1048858, 09 Sep 2022Yes it will come equipped with Android 12 Go and they will ... moreIt did! I also bought one too. So here's my impressions:
                                      1. Stock Android 12 GO Edition, but some are MIUI ported apps (Calculator, music, camera, feedback, clock, FM radio and system apps updater)
                                      2. Also is a MIUI but lighter ones
                                      3. UI is okay, especially when you applied wallpaper it changes color as seen on notification bar and others just like Material You (actually Material You for Android Go is on Android 13 GO)
                                      4. Although it's only Helio A22 and 2/32, I only installed lite and few important apps. So I have 21 GB free space but I couldn't install and save all I wanted to.
                                      5. I received the first update in size of 1.56 GB, but hey you can extend the RAM up to 2GB!
                                      6. This is okay for now. I don't want to expect anything from this one (but only one I want to expect: if they will provide Android 13 GO)

                                      This is my observation for now. I will comment again soon.
