Chinese manufacturing giant, Xiaomi, has been struggling to keep up with the market demand of its recently released Xiaomi Mi 9 series. This series has three models which include Xiaomi Mi 9, Mi 9 SE and Mi 9 Transparent Edition. Of these three, the demand for the regular Xiaomi Mi 9 is much higher. Today, the company announced that due to insufficient stocking, the user experience of the Xiaomi Mi 9 series has been poor. The company has now decided to cancel the sale of the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE and Xiaomi 9 Transparent Edition. The sales was scheduled to take place today but has now been shifted forward.
