Xiaomi launched the MIX Fold 3 (unboxing and first impressions) and Redmi K60 Ultra earlier this week. Both devices went for sale in the home market yesterday. Now, the brand has announced the numbers of the first sale of both the newly launched products on the microblogging platform Weibo. The company has achieved a remarkable sales feat with the MIX Fold 3 and Redmi K60 Ultra.
Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 and Redmi K60 Ultra are a huge success
Shortly after the MIX Fold 3 and Redmi K60 Ultra went on their first sale yesterday, Xiaomi announced that both devices are a great success. The company sold twice the number of third-generation foldable phone compared to its predecessor. Xiaomi did not announce the exact number of units it sold, however, the margin is said to be 2.25 times more than the MIX Fold 2.
The Xiaomi MIX Fold 3’s impressive sales numbers could be attributed to the light and thin design, improved Leica branded cameras, and a new waterdrop hinge that is more durable than its predecessor. It also packs upgrades in other aspects. Notably, the Xiaomi MIX Fold 3’s pricing is the same as the last year’s MIX Fold 2 except for the bumped-up RAM configurations (barring the base variant).
As for the Redmi K60 Ultra, Xiaomi said that it sold 220,000 units of the smartphone in just five minutes of the first sale. It surpassed the first sale numbers of previous Redmi K-series Ultra models and also set a new benchmark.
For those wondering, if the Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 will arrive in the global markets, the answer is sadly no. It will still be limited to China. Meanwhile, the Redmi K60 Ultra is likely expected to debut as the Xiaomi 13T Pro in international markets.
