The Xiaomi Mi 3 went on sale today morning for the second time and the outcome is even more surprising than its initial launch which took place a week back. Flipkart has revealed that all the stocked units of the smartphone were sold out in just blazing 5 seconds of it hitting availability once again.
Now it may look like the retailer is exaggerating, but the company’s official Twitter account and even its Vice President, Hugo Barra, has disclosed the same information without mentioning how many units were there in the first place. The Xiaomi Mi 3 is clearly enjoying the same demand in India as it did in other Asian countries.
The good news is that the Xiaomi Mi 3 smartphone will again be in stock soon, but you’ll have to wait for an entire week since the next sale is scheduled for August 5 at 6pm. You’ll even have to register for the sale which can be done through this link though signing up doesn’t guarantee that you’ll land a unit.
