Xiaomi unwrapped the Redmi Y3 in India last week and went on its first sale today. The flash sale took place simultaneously on Mi.com and Amazon India at noon local time. The flash sale only lasted for a minute before all available units were sold out.
Xiaomi India’s CEO Manu Kuma Jain who disclosed this didn’t mention the number of units made available. The Redmi Y3 flash sale is coming a day after the Realme 3 Pro went on its first sale with fans snagging over 170,000 units. We’d prefer Xiaomi mention the number of units that were sold during the flash sale so as to rule out the possibility of such news being just hype. Amazon.in has announced that the next flash sale for the Redmi Y3 will be on May 3.
