Tick-tock, tick-tock and Xiaomi Mi3’s 20000 units gets sold out within the fraction of few seconds, each pricing at approximately Rs. 14000. Large number of customers was disappointed due to limitation in supply. 

 Undoubtedly, Mi3 is one of the best value-for-money Smartphones available in the Indian market today. Unfortunately, Flipkart is the only e-commerce website where one can buy this experience that phones twice its price don’t offer.  Xiaomi will honour international warranty and even rooted phones .There are few things one must know before you plunk down cold cash for it:

Problems to Buy the Phone 

Since the phone is available with only Flipkart, the two entities have come up with the painful process for buyers. An individual will be required to preregister for a short sale window. After this is done, they will have no choice but to stay online and wait for couple of hours for the sales to start. Considering the fact that they have barely 2000 units available for sale, you need a good amount of luck to get Mi3 on your name. It’s not a good buying experience especially when you are ready to pay happily for it. 

 No Expandable Storage: - 

All you get is 13.3 GB of non-expandable storage memory. Yes, disappointing but true. It doesn’t even support microSD card for expansion. If you buy the phone, you’ll need cloud storage to get over the memory problem. 

 The third flash sale of the Mi 3 Smartphone was over in just two seconds on August 5. As per the company, the next sale of the Mi 3 will be on August 12 and registrations for the same will begin at 6 pm, Tuesday. The company prefer to keep the inventory low and sells the handsets online only. Maximum part of the revenue comes from its applications and add-ons. The two sale sessions helped the company prepare for the inventory for the third .Their simple strategy seems to be working; just the way Chinese products and organisations perform. Hence, the phone is cheaper and has gained humongous traction.  Xiaomi plans to start selling the Redmi 1S and Redmi Note in India for Rs 6,999 and Rs 9,999, respectively, in the coming months.
