Xiaomi has confirmed that the sixth flash sale of the budget Redmi 1S will see 1,00,000 units going on sale on October 14.
Notably, the sixth flash sale on Tuesday will kick
off at 2pm IST on Flipkart for registered users. Interestingly, this is
first flash sale that will see up to 1,00,000 Redmi 1S units going on
sale, an increase of 40,000 units compared
to last two flash sales which saw 60,000 being made available.
Xiaomi, as part of the Flipkart Big Billion Day
sale on Monday, offered 1,50,000 Redmi 1S units to consumers - the first
Xiaomi sale in India not requiring registration.
Flipkart, the exclusive online retailer of Xiaomi
handsets in India, claims that over 2,00,000 people have registered for
the sixth flash sale of the Redmi 1S, priced at Rs. 5,999.
The Flipkart page suggests consumers to register
for each flash sale separately and notes, "Registrations will not be
carried over. You need to register again for next sale."
Considering that limited stocks of the Redmi 1S
(Review | Pictures) will be available in India, the popular e-commerce
giant has revealed that it will limit orders to one phone per registered
email ID per sale.
Xiaomi is also bundling a Micro SIM-card adapter
and a screen protector with the Redmi 1S, and notes that orders will be
delivered in 7-10 business days.
It's worth pointing out that Flipkart's procedure
requires people to just add the handset to their cart for it to be
classified as 'sold out', and people are given additional time to
complete their purchase.
The company's budget Redmi 1S smartphone follows in
the Mi 3's footsteps for breaking sales records with the entire
inventory going out of stock within seconds in previous flash sales.
As of now, Flipkart has cumulatively seen 2,40,000
Redmi 1S units going out of stock in 31.2 seconds in its five flash
sales thus far, according to the details revealed by Xiaomi. The last sale saw Redmi 1S going out of stock in 13.2 seconds.
The fourth flash sale saw 60,000 Redmi 1S units
going out of stock in 5.2 seconds. 40,000 smartphones went out of stock
in just 3.4 seconds in the third flash sale, a good second faster than
the second flash sale, which saw 40,000 smartphones
go 'out of stock' in 4.5 seconds, meanwhile the first flash sale saw
40,000 units going 'out of stock' in just 4.2 seconds.
It's worth noting that Flipkart's Big Billion Day
sale also saw the last batch of Xiaomi Mi 3 smartphones going on sale at
Flipkart.
Xiaomi India offered the Mi 3 to 25,000 consumers
who had registered but were unable to buy the smartphone in previous
sales, automatically adding the smartphone to their carts on October 6.
