Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1. Why is my Redmi Go so slow and constantly running out of storage?
The 1GB RAM and 8GB/16GB storage are very limited. After flashing, use only Go edition apps, regularly clear cache, and move files to SD card. The Android Go OS is specifically designed for this hardware.

No, Android 8.1 Oreo Go edition was the only official Android version. The hardware doesn’t support newer Android versions through official channels.

Q3. Why does my device have app crashes and performance issues?
The Snapdragon 425 with 1GB RAM has very limited resources. Avoid installing heavy apps and stick to Google Go apps. Flashing the stock ROM will restore optimal performance.

Q4. How can I maximize storage space on my Redmi Go?
Use Files Go app to clean junk, install Lite apps, move photos/videos to SD card, and regularly clear app caches. The system partition takes significant space on the 8GB model.
