40000 Xiaomi Redmi 1S handsets disappear in seconds, next sale on Sep 9

Many Xiaomi Redmi 1S fans were left with a bad taste in their mouths after 40000 units of the device vanished from Flipkart within less than 5 seconds of it going up for sale on Tuesday. So the company will be rolling out priority passes which will give 500 enthusiasts the chance to order the handset without any effort.

Additionally, Xiaomi has also thrown open registrations for the next sale of the Redmi 1S which will be happening on September 9, that’s the coming Tuesday. But this time around, the company has refrained from mentioning the number of units it intends to make available next week.

Xiaomi Redmi 1S

The Redmi 1S smartphone is rocketing off Flipkart like hot potatoes because of the specs it carries at its low price point of Rs 5999. We got our hands on the smartphone a few days before it was launched (review link below) and liked its looks too. So you’re not getting a cheap plastic-feeling exterior just because you paid less either. Did you hear what we just said, Samsung?
