Xiaomi India has announced the first flash sale of 40,000 units of its affordable smartphone, the Redmi 1s on Flipkart on 2^nd September. Customers have already taken to the e-commerce site to register for this flash sale. Registrations will continue till midnight 1^st September and reports suggest that nearly one hundred thousand people have already registered for this much awaited sale. Priced at INR 5,999, the phone fits the bill of a pocket friendly smartphone and will surely catch up quickly with the Indian population. The phone was initially launched at a price of INR 6,999 (Just around $100) but the company has slashed the price right before announcing the flash sale.

The Redmi 1S might be light on the pocket but is packed with decent features like:

• 4.7 inch HD (1280×720 pixels) display
• powered by a 1.6GHz Snapdragon 400 quad-core processor with 1 GB RAM
• 8-megapixel rear camera and 1.6-megapixel front-facing camera with flash
• It runs on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean
• Internal memory of 8 GB, expandable up to 64 GB
• Supports WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth and dual-Sim format

Redmi 1S will e pitted against the Motorola Moto E which is priced at INR 6,999. The former presents slightly better specifications like larger display, better camera specifications, slightly enhanced processor and a lower cost as compared to the Moto E. Competitive performance will, however, be judged when the phone lands in the market and finally reaches the consumer.
