The Xiaomi Redmi Note phablet is all set for its second flash sale which will commence in the next few hours and the company is offering a whopping 75000 units. As you probably know, the first time the phone went up for grabs, the entire inventory of 50000 units got sold out is just about six seconds.
The company is slowly increasing the inventory it makes available and depending on how well today’s Xiaomi Redmi Note sale goes, we could see more units arrive next week. The Redmi 1S which is essentially a smaller and less powerful version of the phablet arrived at Flipkart in quantities of 100000 every week and it sold like hot cakes each time.
The phone was made available for the last time yesterday and will be discontinued after the remaining stock is cleared. Coming back to the Note, today’s sale starts at 2pm on Flipkart and if you haven’t registered for it, you’ll have to wait an entire week more. Then there’s the slim chances of getting hold of the smartphone since these flash sales get over in mere seconds.
