Xiaomi launched the Redmi 12 5G and Redmi 12 4G smartphones in India last week. Both devices carry a budget price tag and are identical apart from a different processor. The phones also pack impressive specifications. The brand seems to aim to disrupt the budget segment in the country with the latest offerings. Now, Xiaomi has announced a remarkable milestone of the Redmi 12 duo. 

Redmi 12 series sales achievement

The Redmi 12 5G and Redmi 12 4G went on sale starting August 4 on Amazon India, Flipkart, Mi.com, and retail stores. The company announced that it received an overwhelming response for oth smartphones. 300,000 units of the Redmi 12 series were sold on the very first day of the sale. This means that it was well-received by customers. The brand likely made INR 3 billion (or 300 cores) from the sale of the Redmi 12 duo. 

Xiaomi did not announce the exact sales numbers of the 5G and 4G variants of the Redmi 12. Both phones seem to be out of stock on Amazon and Flipkart as they are listed with a ‘Coming Soon’ tag. A banner on Xiaomi’s website reveals that the company will be back on August 8. It could be possibly related to the next sale date for the smartphones.
