According to official data, the first sale of the Xiaomi Mi 9 took only 53 seconds to completely sell out. The next round of sale is set to be at 10:00 am on March 5. And this Friday (March 1), the Xiaomi Mi 9 Explorer Edition and the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE will go on sale as well. By the way, only the Jingdong platform reservations have exceeded 1 million units.

Though Lei Jun has proven the Mi 9 won’t run out of stock quickly, the Mi 9 is very popular and it’s quite reasonable that this happened. As Xiaomi Mi 9 is in short supply, Xiaomi co-founder and Xiaomi President Lin Bin issued a statement through his Weibo channel: ‘Sorry! We are already working hard to increase the production capacity.’ And also recalled the Mi 9 Explorer Edition and Xiaomi Mi 9 SE will be sold at 10:00 on Friday.

      trust me , the camera is extremely good!
      jerryrig just did a bend test, and scratch test. Bending was very good and hard, they made some precautions on the corners of the phone in case it would fall a few times and the only thing that is bad is probably the no waterproof and thats about it. gorilla glass 5 or 6 idk, but good protection
