As has been the tradition for the past six weeks, the Xiaomi Redmi 1S will be going on sale this week as well, although the number of units which Flipkart will be making available is still unknown. This is of course, the seventh flash sale for the smartphone that has seen immense demand in India; so much so that its stocks don’t even manage to last for a minute after going live.
Xiaomi and Flipkart had announced this sale last week itself, and had opened registrations for it as well. Interested parties need to visit the registration page, and enroll themselves for the sale before starting to hope that when the device does go live, they manage to snap a model up for themselves.
There’s no doubt that the Redmi 1S has earned so much popularity in the country owing to its price and the kind of specs it offers at that asking amount. For Rs 5999, you get a 4.7-inch 720p HD display, and the power of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset.
