Xiaomi sold over 3 lakh Redmi Note 5, Note 5 Pro in 3 minutes while Mi TV 4 sold out in less than 10 seconds

During the first ever sale, Xiaomi sold one lakh units of the Redmi Note 5 (review) and the Redmi Note 5 Pro (review) per minute. The sale was on for just three minutes before it showed ‘out of stock’ on both Flipkart and Mi.com. Xiaomi Vice President Manu Kumar Jain tweeted yesterday that it was the ‘biggest ever sale in the history of India.’

That means, Xiaomi sold over lakh units of the two phones in just three minutes. If what Xiaomi claims is true, the company is once again set to break its own records of selling more than five million units of the Redmi Note 4 last year, in just six months.

After the amazing success of Redmi Note 4, we had put in a lot of effort to increase supply of Redmi Note 5. This was the biggest ever sale in India!

#RedmiNote5 & #RedmiNote5Pro: we sold 3L+ units in <3 mins. This means 1L+ phones/min!
