Xiaomi’s festival day promotions ended at 10:00pm yesterday and we were patiently waiting for the official data about the sales amount and units sold by the company. Now, Xiaomi reveals all the details about yesterday’s festival day sales and its pretty impressive.

In fact, this five year old Chinese company made a record yesterday. Today, the company received an official Guinness World Record certificate for the most smartphone sales in 24 hours on a single platform. Xiaomi managed to sell 2.11 million mobile phones in just 12 hours! Many companies often struggle to sell this much in an entire month, so its no surprise that these numbers created a new Guinness World record.

We have more official data from the company regarding yesterday’s sales. At the end of 12 hours of festival day sale, the company sold products worth 2.08 billion Yuan!

The distribution of sales in units were as follows:

• Xiaomi Smartphone : 2.12 million
• Xiaomi TVs : 38,600
• Xiaomi Mi Router : 79,000
• Xiaomi Power Strip : 247,000
• Xiaomi PowerBank : 403,000
• Xiaomi Piston Headphones : 336,000
• Xiaomi Mi Band : 209,000
• Xiaomi Air Purifier : 3.12 million

As you can see, these number are massive! In fact, over 1420 people were a part of this big festival day sale supporting the company! Xiaomi also reports that it shipped over 500,000 orders yesterday itself, which is once again pretty impressive.

Its really surprising to see Xiaomi managing everything so smoothly. The company had enough stock to last for the day despite these many orders and were well prepared for processing them in time.

Unfortunately, the yesterday’s festival day sale was limited to China. However, with an increasing international customer base, we hope that the company unveils such large scale discounts and offers in the foreign markets too.

So what do you think about these numbers?

In case you forgot, Xiaomi’s festival day is here and we expect big sales by the end of today. The sale already started at 10 am sharp in China as expected and now, we have some official sales numbers.

Xiaomi is breaking all records today. The company reports that it has sold just over 1.57 billion Yuan worth of goods till now. That’s highly impressive given that the company managed to reach this figure in just 6 hours. What’s more, we have nearly 6 more hours until the sale ends and by the end of the day, this figure will have probably doubled ! That’s nearly 3 billion worth of goods that could be sold in a day’s time.

The company has also shared the individual shipments sold. 1.6 million Xiaomi smartphones were sold today, 32,000 Xiaomi tvs, and 510,000 smart home products. The total values of accessories sold exceed 130 million Yuan.
These figures are expected to increase and even nearly double by the end of the day, but lets wait for official data.
Anyways, whats do you think of the amount of sales made today? Are you impressed?

In addition to the 2499 Yuan Xiaomi Mi Note Ladies edition (which has a pink colour), 499 yuan Red Rice 2A, 99 yuan intelligent scales, 49 yuan strip, Xiaomi also released a 55-inch TV for 4999 Yuan.

From the design standpoint, the significant different between the new 55-inch and the old 49-inch model is the screen size. Other design aspects remain very similar. However, the story lies under the hood as the new Mi TV offers a substantial upgrade over its predecessor.

First, the new TV is equipped with Samsung’s true 4K RGB LCD screen (3840×2160 resolution) and Radiant backlight module. What is more, the TV is equipped with top of the line MStar 6A928 1.4GHz processor (4K video decoding capabilities up to 60 frames per second, supports H.265 10-bit hardware decoding). Further, the 55-inch device is equipped with Mali-760 MP4 GPU, 2GB of DDR3 RAM and has 8GB of built-in storage.

In addition, HDMI interface sees an upgrade to 2.0 version and supports the 4K H.265 60fps video playback . TV is also equipped with a 6.2 Soundbar speaker and a new all-aluminum wireless subwoofer, which has embedded the latest Dolby Sound (Dolby Audio) virtual surround sound technology. All of these audio components are said to be capable of presenting similar to 5.1 surround sound experience.

55-inch Xiaomi Mi TV has the official price set to 4999 yuan in China. For this price point, you will have a Soundbar and aluminum subwoofer included in the box. The availability starts on April 8th, which will be reservation-free to Chinese customers. However, we have no word on international availability.

A few days back, Xiaomi revealed that it would announce two different sized models in its Xiaomi TV lineup. While we were almost convinced that the larger 55-inch Xiaomi TV would make an appearance during its March 24th event, surprisingly, Xiaomi just unveiled the smaller sized 40-inch version costing 1999 Yuan.

Later rumors stated that we will see the device on its fifth anniversary celebration event i.e. tomorrow. And now, we have all the more reason to believe these rumors since both the 55-inch model and the 40-inch one (already announced) were recently spotted at the Chinese 3C Quality Certification Center.

The website shows that these models passed through the certification center on March 27. Their model numbers were as follows: L55M2-AA and L40M2-AA.

The new 55-inch Xiaomi TV will undoubtedly sport 4K resolution. However, we still have no idea about its internal hardware or features. I guess, we will have to wait for one more day to get those details.

So, how much are you willing to pay for a 55-inch Xiaomi TV? We feel anything around 2499 Yuan should be an amazing price for such a large screen TV!
