Through their official Tmall store, Xiaomi have managed to rack up an amazing 400 million Yuan in sales in just 90 minutes for Singles Day!
For Singles Day Xiaomi had a ton of great offers up for grabs from smart TV’s, set to boxes, the new Mi Band and other items, but the top deal of the day is the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 cut to an incredible 699 Yuan.
Gizchina News of the week
Thanks to this offer and others, Xiaomi managed to announce sales at 400 Million Yuan, or around $63 million! Reaching this figure took the company and its feverous fans just 88 minutes.
Keep in mind that we are only 5 hours in to the sales so far and Xiaomi could well beat their 2015 record of $250 million for the whole day!
every year the same BS.
This day means absolutely nothing for int’l customers. the best you get is a $2 off on Aliexpress where resellers have previously doubled the regular price to then give a 50% discount.
Cheap Chinese marketing.
who’s getting benefit are Chinese customers and resellers. these last category is filling up their stock for cheaper but then they sell at the same price.
For experience, just ignore this day.
you have my whole heartly support on this!!!
Singles day really seems to strike a nerve with you lol. I don’t mind it cause it’s one of the few chances we get to see some actual sales numbers for some of the bigger brands and not have to go by the BS numbers they report themselves or IDC (which can be hit or miss with accuracy).
nah, i was just warning people that were going to ask where to get phones at that price.
it simply won’t happen.
No but most of the resellers will be offering some type of deals today in honor of 11/11. Antelife was doing coupons for $5-50 off depending on how much you spent. Not as good as the Single Day sales but still if you were going to buy a phone anyways not bad to save some coin.
Wait something is wrong… It’s the Redmi Note 2!
