Xiaomi has been on somewhat of a roll lately, expanding its portfolio with new products, bringing it to new markets and now adding new colors. The company has announced that its current Mi 3 flagship will gain a new green version in the very near future.
This will be added to the currently existing Mi 3 rooster that includes White, Gray, Black, Yellow, Pink, Blue and Gold. The new color will only be available to the 16GB version of the smartphone although market availability hasn’t been specified. Other specifications remain unchanged on the green version and as usual the front remains black.
The statistics from today’s sale can be looked at in two aspects – one, the demand for the Mi 3 in India is very high and the company is quickly making a name for itself in one of the major markets. The other way of looking at it is an embarrassing situation for Xiaomi, who had stocks that could last for only about 2 seconds. The Chinese manufacturer seems to be under prepared and has to work harder to meet the demand of Indian consumers.
There is no doubt that Xiaomi Mi 3 provides a great bang for your buck with a powerful chipset and top notch hardware. Having said that, if the company doesn’t manage to up the pace with its production and meet the demand, then it might soon attract criticism and hatred from its potential consumers in the sub-continent.
We went a step ahead and dug up some more mind boggling numbers for you. With the sale of 15,000 Mi 3 units, Flipkart saw an exchange of INR 209,985,000 (about $3,450,834) in two seconds! And, these numbers are beside the regular sales. So, the online retailer, who recently raised $1 billion in funding, shows it can really handle pressure well.
Thanks KY for the tip!
