Xiaomi will on Tuesday hold the twelfth and possibly final flash sale for its budget Redmi 1S smartphone in India, on Flipkart.
As
expected, the Chinese company on Monday launched its Xiaomi Redmi Note phablet and unveiled a 4G-LTE variant. The 3G Redmi Note will be sold through flash sales on Flipkart from December 2
onwards. Therefore, this will be the last week of Redmi 1S flash sales.
Xiaomi
stated that it will bring back the budget Xiaomi Redmi 1S, but without giving
an exact time frame. It's worth noting that the company had discontinued
sales of the Xiaomi Mi 3 in India to focus on the Redmi 1S. We can
expect that the company is repeating the same strategy with its Redmi
Note phablet.
The Chinese company has not yet announced the number
of Redmi 1S (Review | Pictures) units, priced at Rs. 5,999 each, that will be available in
Tuesday's flash sale.
The Chinese handset maker, in its last tweet
about the Redmi 1S, had
asked interested buyers to register for the sale. Registration will be
open till midnight on Monday. Xiaomi has also confirmed that a
complimentary screen protector and Micro-SIM card adapter will be
bundled this time. The flash sale on Tuesday will kick off at 2pm IST
for registered users.
The Flipkart registration page
notes that only one unit will be allowed
per registered email ID, and also advises users to log in at least two
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 a sale, after which they are given
additional time to complete the checkout process.
At the Redmi
Note launch, Xiaomi revealed that it has sold over 5,00,000 Mi 3 and
Redmi 1S smartphones in India so far, though without giving a breakup of
units.
The company's current flagship, the Mi 4, can be expected
to be announced during Q1 2015. On being asked about reasons for the
delay of the Xiaomi Mi 4 launch in India, representatives said the
company is still busy testing the handset and obtaining certifications.
