40000 Xiaomi Redmi 1S handsets sell out in 4.5 secs flat on Flipkart

Just as expected, the second batch of 40000 Xiaomi Redmi 1S units got sold in a jiffy and the time it took to vanish has been officially revealed as just 4.5 seconds. This is double of what the Mi 3 took to go out of stock on one occasion, but only 20000 units were made available back then.

This certainly indicates that the Xiaomi Redmi 1S handset is capable of outselling the Mi 3 considering that a total of 95000 of the latter have been sold in India so far. The handset in question will certainly surpass that number after the third batch goes up for grabs next week.
