According to a Chinese news site YuGuo, UMi managed to sell 1000 UMi Zero phones in only 3 minutes in a sale on Aliexpress on the 16th December. The sale was such a success for the phone maker that an additional 1000 units was added to the sale in an attempt to satisfy demand.

Pretty sure the official UMI site is http://www.91umi.com but either way, this phone really sparks my interest as a decent, lightweight, smaller-sized android phone to carry easily and the first UMI phone to really catch my eye since owning the Cross 6.4″ which I loved. Go UMI.
Andy at which time (GMT + x) will start selling?

You are all witnessing a massive media attack , including this article. Manufacturer tries to create artificial scarcity to make the phone look desirable and hard to get a-la OnePlus. These articles including last week “exclusive” interview with CEO bring nothing to readers.

Strange how the counter said 330 remaining many hours after the sale started. I kept checking back during the day as I was considering buying one.
