Xiaomi's budget Redmi 1S smartphone, priced at Rs. 5,999, has once again gone 'out of stock' within seconds.
The second Xiaomi Redmi 1S (Review | Pictures) flash sale on Tuesday saw 40,000 units of the budget smartphone going out of stock on Flipkart in 4.5 seconds, said Xiaomi Global's Vice President, Hugo Barra, on Twitter.
Notably, the first flash sale for Redmi 1S saw the stocks end in just 4.2 seconds.
The Chinese smartphone manufacturer, also known as 'China's Apple', has enjoyed much success in India with its flash sale model in the past, selling over 95,000 Mi 3 smartphones since its launch in late-July.
The speed of the flash sales has left a lot of users quite unhappy, and Tuesday's flash sale for the Redmi 1S is no different - with 40,000 units going out-of-stock in 4.2 seconds, a rate that is similar to the Mi 3's last few flash sales that saw 20,000 unitsgoing out of stock in under 3 seconds.
