Xiaomi Mi3 Smartphone To Go On A Flash Sale Again With 200K Units On Flipkart

Xiaomi is going to give another chance for its Indian consumers to pick up the Mi3 smartphone via online retailer Flipkart on Tuesday.

It is going to be a busy Tuesday once again, at least for those who have been trying to buy the Xiaomi Mi3 smartphone for the past five weeks. If you haven't given up hope yet, then here's another chance to order the worthy Mi3 smartphone via Flipkart on Tuesday, August 26. This is the sixth sale since Xiaomi first launched the handset in India last month.

Xiaomi has received an extraordinary response with its Indian debut. The smartphone is currently offered exclusively on Flipkart and the China's largest smartphone maker continues to use the same strategy to sell the next batch of 20,000 units of Mi3. The company has apparently received more than 100,000 registrations for the Mi3 smartphone.

Registration is a mandatory process for consumers before buying Xiaomi's smartphone. Every time a buyer misses a chance to successfully order the Mi 3 via Flipkart, he or she must re-register their interest with Xiaomi. This way, the Chinese phone maker is getting an idea of the demand for its high-end smartphone in India. The registrations for the Tuesday's sale are open until Monday midnight and the purchase is on a first-come first-serve basis.

Heeding to the growing sales of Xiaomi Mi 3, the phone maker released accessories for the smartphone. The list includes flip covers in white, blue and black along with a screen protector that fits the screen perfectly. The original flip cover sells for INR 559 and the screen protector is priced at INR179.

The smartphone itself is a worthy buy and the demand is a great example. For just INR 13,999, Mi 3 buyers get a 2.3GHz Snapdragon 800 processor, 5-inch IPS Full HD display, 13MP camera with dual flash, 3050mAh battery and lot more. These specs make the smartphone compete against the bigger rivals like Samsung Galaxy S4, Google Nexus 5 and Sony Xperia Z for nearly half the price.

Previous sales batches have been re-creating record week after week. The first batch of 20,000 units on July 22 was sold out in 40 minutes. The following sales took merely seconds to clear the stock. The fifth batch went out of sale in just 2.3 seconds, which is the currently the fastest sale record for Xiaomi. It won't surprise if the company outbids its previous record to create a new one tomorrow. Only time will tell.

The Flipkart sale of Mi 3 begins at 2.00 p.m. on Tuesday.
