Redmi 7A is set to go on sale in India again on July 18, Xiaomi has revealed. The Redmi 7A went on sale for the first time earlier on Thursday, but as expected, the handset went out of stock within seconds. However, Xiaomi India Managing Director Manu Kumar Jain has now equivocally claimed that the company is set to bring "more quantity" of the Redmi 7A on its second sale round. The Chinese company launched the Redmi 7A in the country last week.
Xiaomi hasn't revealed the total number of Redmi 7A units it sold through the first sale that took place at 12pm (noon) on Thursday. But Jain through a tweet posted just minutes after first sale round claimed that the company is further increasing its production and bringing more quantity of the Redmi 7A through its next sale that is scheduled for July 18.
Similar to the first sale round, the next Redmi 7A sale in India will take place through Flipkart and Mi.com.
