The company, also referred to as 'China's Apple', confirmed the news on Twitter and said, "Thanks for the overwhelming support! We are working hand in hand with Flipkart to improve your buying experience."
The Chinese handset maker also posted an image of the Xiaomi Mi 3 that said, "38-Minutes 50-Seconds Sold Out." It's worth noting that Xiaomi has not revealed the total number of units sold on Tuesday.
