India’s largest online retailer Flipkart held its biggest sale recently called Big Billion Days. A number of new products like Pixel 4a and Galaxy F41 launched on the occasion of this sale. Above all, some of the popular as well as old devices like LG G8X ThinQ and iPhones were discounted heavily. That said, now as the sale has ended, POCO has officially announced that it sold over a million smartphones during this period.
Earlier this year, POCO was spun-off into an independent brand under the Xiaomi Group. In India, its devices are sold exclusively on Flipkart. The brand currently sells the following five handsets in the country.
- POCO X2
- POCO X3
- POCO M2 Pro
- POCO M2
- POCO C3
All the above-mentioned smartphones were discounted except for the latest POCO X3. Buyers were also able to avail additional bank discounts.
These phones are highly recommended by media houses even at their launch prices. With discounts, they flew off the shelves that POCO managed to sell above a million (10 lakh) units of them during the Flipkart Big Billion Days sale that ran from October 16-21, as per the brand’s internal data.
Having said that, all the new POCO-branded smartphones launched so far (except POCO X3) are rebadged Redmi devices with slightly better configuration and cheaper price tags. We hope the brand to soon release phones with original design starting next year.
