Xiaomi announced, in a Facebook post, that the Mi3 went out of stock in two seconds.
Xiaomi’s
third batch of smartphones that went up on sale today at 2PM is said to
have sold out within a second, if the chatter online is to be believed.
Looks like, as soon someone hits the buy button, Flipkart considers the
device sold. The company had put up 15,000 units on sale and they were
all wiped off the shelves even before one could snap their fingers. The
next sale is on August 12 and the registrations will begin at 6PM today.
Users will have to register again for the next sale.
Xiaomi
has been using Raksha Bandhan as a stage for pitching its next round of
smartphones, with the official tweet saying “Make this Raksha Bandhan a
special one for your sister”. However, Xiaomi is releasing just 15,000
units, which means there’s a good chance that many would go
empty-handed.
With
today’s flash sale, if the previous numbers are to be believed than
Xiaomi is likely to have sold over 35,000 phones in India since it was
launched on July 22. The first day, it reportedly went off shelves
within 40 minutes, while the second batch sold in five seconds. Even
with the evident demand, Xiaomi has been releasing meagre units, much to
the frustration of the masses.
At
just Rs 13,999, it packs a Snapdragon 800, which is by far the cheapest
high-end phone available in the market. It competes with the likes of
the Nexus 5, Galaxy S4, Xperia Z at nearly half the price.
