16GB Xiaomi Mi 4 goes on sale in India with no registration required

Three times this month, the Xiaomi Mi 4 went on sale in India via one of the manufacturer's infamous flash sales. Today, that same device can be ordered from Indian online retailer Flipkart sans registration. The phone is priced at the equivalent of $324 USD. 25,000 units sold out in a flash sale on February 10th. A week later, Xiaomi put up 35,000 units for a flash sale, but did not get a sell out.

On Tuesday, Xiaomi tried again with flash sales on both the 16GB and 64GB version of the Mi 4. The larger capacity model was priced at the equivalent of $388 USD. The results were mixed with the 64GB model selling out about 10,000-15,000 units inside of a minute. The 16GB model once again fell short of a sellout.

With the success of the 64GB Xiaomi Mi 4 flash sale, another one will be held on March 3rd. You can register for it by clicking on the sourcelink. Meanwhile, Xiaomi sees that demand has faded for the 16GB model (remember, there is no microSD slot on the device) which is why it can now be ordered at your leisure from Flipkart.

We would be amiss if we didn't mention how the 16GB Silk White OnePlus One factors into this equation. Now available from Flipkart (but still requiring an invitation), the OnePlus One has been priced to undercut the Xiaomi Mi 4 at $306 USD.


Thanks for the tip!
