Flash sale: Xiaomi again up for 20000Nos Mi3 at flipkart

Last week, the company had put up 15,000 units on sale and used Raksha Bandhan as a stage for pitching its next round of smartphones. Chinese handset maker Xiaomi sold out all its 15,000 Mi3 devices online in two seconds flat in last sale!! beating the record five-second flash sale earlier month, but a large number of customers were left disappointed because of the limited stocks offered compared to far larger demand. More than 150,000 customers per-registered for the third flash sale which started at 2 pm Tuesday and an equal number of unregistered customers had logged on at that time to buy the Mi3 smartphone, priced at Rs 13,999, on online retailer Flipkart's website. "The third round of Mi 3 sales saw an overwhelming response from our customers. We were out of stock in 2 seconds," Michael Adnani, VP - Retail & Head - Brand Alliances at Flipkart, said in response to ET's queries .

    Xiaomi’s third batch of Mi 3smartphones that went up on sale last Tuesday sold out within two seconds, and now the next batch will be up for grabs exclusively on Flipkart today. 20,000 units of the device will go up on sale. Only those customers who have registered again will be eligible for today’s sale. The registrations are now closed and the window for the next sale will open at 6PM on 12 August.
