Xiaomi, continuing the flash sale trend started with the Mi 3, had sold the entire40,000 units inventory in 4.2-seconds last week, and once again, there were thousands of unhappy Xiaomi consumers who never got their hands on the device.
Flipkart, the exclusive online retailer of Xiaomi handsets in India, now claims that over 300,000 people have registered for the second flash sale of the Redmi 1S. The Flipkart page clearly notes that "Registrations will not be carried over. You need to register again for next sale." Considering that limited stocks of the Redmi 1S will be available in India, the popular e-commerce giant has revealed that it will limit orders to one phone per registered email ID per sale.
Last week, Hugo Barra, Vice President of Xiaomi Global had revealed that the Redmi 1S would come with a complimentary Micro SIM-card adapter and a screen protector, and that orders will be delivered in 7-10 business days. The Flipkart page notes, "Freebies will be delivered separately post your handset shipments."
The company, also referred to as 'China's Apple', had reportedly discontinued the Mi 3in India to focus on the Redmi 1S.
