Today, at 10 AM the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S officially went on sale. But as expected, it took about five minutes to sell out completely. While many may think Xiaomi still continues the monkey strategy, we should state this is a real progression in comparison to the last models.
We know any product launches with Xiaomi brand on board gets a status of ‘out of stock’ quickly. It refers to all products without exceptions. Today, another Mi product in face of the Xiaomi AI mini Speaker went on sale and was sold out instantly. But if the latter costs 99 yuan ($16), the Xiaomi MI MIX 2S is priced at 3299 yuan ($525). Moreover, the former product was sold out in 10 minutes, while the latter did in 5 minutes. Thus there was a time to get your hands on it.

This article is really lacking of professionalism. What’s the point to talk about flash sales if you don’t mention about the quantites?
Hey Fred, no source mentioned the quantity. So we don’t know how many units were in the first bunch. Do you have an information to share with us?
No proofreading?
