50000 Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G handset units sold out in just 5 seconds on Flipkart

Flipkart has cleaned up nicely once again, with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G getting sold out in 5 seconds through the e-commerce website. This is the second time the handset has gone on sale in India, with 50000 units having been put up for grabs at 2pm today.

Incidentally, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G is the only other phone apart from the Redmi 1S that the Chinese manufacturer is allowed to sell in the country. For those who don’t remember, the Delhi High Court had banned the company from offering devices using MediaTek processors in India owing to a patent-related dispute with Ericsson.

Since the 4G version of the Redmi Note and the 1S use Snapdragon chips, Xiaomi is allowed to vend both phones on these shores. That’s because Qualcomm has the necessary licenses to use Ericsson’s patents. According to the report, the company is only permitted to sell the two smartphones until January 8. It’s not clear as to what has changed since the HC order, but the next batch is supposed to be made available on January 13.
