Micromax is one of those OEMs that offers entry-level smartphones principally for the Indian market which is a popular market for the budget devices. The Micromax Bharat Go goes all the way down in its price tag making it accessible for a larger number of people. Featuring the Android Go version, the smartphone still works well with its paltry specs. Also, the smartphone comes with a fairly small size but still offers the basic Android features enough for a first time user anyway.

Design and Display
There is not much to how the Micromax Bharat Go looks because there is the plastic build just like it should. However, it comes with off-screen capacitive navigation buttons at the bottom which is uncommon these days. The smartphone is not going to get any medal in the design department but it is not ugly either. You have a heavy bezel on the smartphone with no traces of modern looks on this one with a vintage 16:9 aspects ratio.
The display ain’t much either with Micromax trying to cut cost in every way possible and it reflects on the display. First, is the TFT label which does not really offer as much quality a the OLED and IPS counterpart. Measuring just 4.5-inch, the display is very much on the small side and the 854 x 480 pixels resolution is not different either.
Battery and Camera
The smartphone has a battery that is removable and with a bit of low capacity. Considering that there is really nothing to do on the smartphone besides calling, surfing the web and other little things, the 2, 000mAh should be enough or not up to that based on how you use it.
I would advise that you get a more premium smartphone if you’re interested in camera prowess and if you don’t have the budget then you will have to stick with the product of the 5MP camera on both sides of the smartphone here. On the good side, there is a HDR, video up to 720P, autofocus, beauty mode and others.
Hardware and Software
Drawing power from four cores is the way to go for entry level smartphones at least the ones as cheap as this one. The MediaTek MT6737 processor takes the wheel assisted by a Mali-T720MP1 for the graphics part. In addition, the smartphone has a 1GB RAM and an 8GB ROM which is a good thing the Android Oreo on board is a Go Edition.
Micromax Bharat Go Pricing and Availability
The smartphone costs about 22, 000 Naira depending on the deal and your location.
