Xiaomi has announced that the ninth flash sale of the budget
Redmi 1S
will see 1,00,000 units going on sale on November 4. The Chinese handset
maker revealed the number of units on Twitter.
The
next flash sale on Tuesday will kick off at 2pm IST on Flipkart for
registered users. Notably, the flash sale will see up to 1,00,000 Redmi
1S units going on sale, an increase of 40,000 units compared to the last
flash sale that saw 60,000 being made available.
Interestingly,
Xiaomi was touting the Redmi 1S' next flash sale on Twitter and said,
"Haven't been able to get your hands on Redmi 1S? Fear not, something
special is coming your way on 4th November!"

This
is the third flash sale for Redmi 1S, priced at Rs. 5,999, that will
see more than 60,000 units going on sale. The other two instances saw
1,00,000 units going on sale in the sixth flash sale and 90,000 units
going on sale in the seventh.
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 two 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 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
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.
On Wednesday, 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. 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.
