Xiaomi will on Tuesday hold the tenth flash sale for its
Redmi 1S
smartphones in India, via Flipkart. The flash sale on Tuesday will kick
off at 2pm IST for registered users.Xiaomi and The Chinese smartphone manufacturer has
announced that 65,000 Redmi 1S units will be available on Tuesday's flash sale. Notably, the company will not be offering a complimentary screen protector and Micro-SIM card adapter with the handset in this sale, unlike previous sales.
The
Chinese handset maker in its last tweet
asked
interested people to register for the sale, and noted registration is open till midnight
Monday. It said, "You have up till midnight tonight to register. Go go
go!"
The Flipkart registration page notes that only one smartphone
will be available for sale per email ID and also advises users to log
in at least 2 hours before the flash sale begins.
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 last
flash sale saw 1,00,000 Redmi 1S (Review | Pictures) units going on sale, which was an
increase of 40,000 units compared to the last flash sale that saw 60,000
being made available.
It's worth mentioning that the company did
not announce the time taken for the Redmi 1S to go 'out of stock' in the
last three flash sales, which might be a sign of fading demand for the
Xiaomi Redmi 1S, after the first six flash sales saw thousands of
smartphones being snapped up in seconds.
The company's budget
Redmi 1S smartphone, priced at Rs. 5,999, 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.
Recently, a
market research firm claimed that Xiaomi replaced Huawei to become the
third-largest mobile phone vendor in terms of smartphones sold in the
third quarter. However, Lenovo soon after announced its acquisition of
Motorola was complete, propelling it to the number three spot with
combined sales. According to market researcher, Xiaomi sold 19 million
smartphones in Q3 this year to leave behind Huawei who sold 16.8 million
smartphones in the same period.
