Hugo Barra apologizes for limited Mi3 stocks promises larger number of units

By Gogi Rana on August 6, 2014 38 Comments

In a telephonic interview with BGR, Hugo Barra VP Xiaomi apologized for the limited stocks as per the huge demand of Xiaomi Mi3 in India. Xiaomi has so far sold 35,000 Mi3 units in 3 flash sales. The units were sold within seconds.

There are over 3 Lakh users who had registered and eagerly waiting to grab the Mi3. With such a huge demand and limited stocks no doubt the product will go out of stock within seconds / minutes. Flipkart their official online partner also had issues with the first flash sales and they did made some modifications for the next two. When a user clicks on the buy button and if the product goes into the users cart it is considered as a sale, the user can make the payment later on.

Hugo mentioned that the demand in India was too much, they underestimated it. The demand as of now is 10 times the available stock. He stated that the company cannot react quickly, they are new and will take some time getting used to in this new (Indian) market. They are a new start-up here and do have manufacturing constrains, their manufacturing plants are working round the clock. As for the flash sales well, it will continue as they believe it is the best model that works for Xiaomi.

Mi3 limited stocks in India - Hugo Barra apologizes

The flash sale model is simple and Indian users are new to it, they are trying to make it as transparent as possible. Hugo promised that in the next subsequent sales they will make stocks available.

As for the Redmi 1S and the Redmi Note, they have not yet finalized the launch dates but could probably happen in the next couple of weeks. The same goes for the Mi accessories – it will be launched along with the Redmi series.

    Mi3 is a awesome phone with every thing you want from a smart phone but then they should had a external memory port it would help to use the phone to its best, as only 16gb is available in India. Xiaomi should reconsider for Indian user.

    Mi3 is the best phone presently at this price tag no one can defeat this for sure. Every aspect of phone is awesome the only thing is that its not providing us the head phone with the phone itself. Display, Camera, Speed of hardware all are g8 and performing d best…!!! It feels awesome holding this phone because of its g8 look n finish..!!! Hugo Barra has provided superb phone to India but he should provide more units to India who are eagerly waiting for this phone to buy…!!!

    Is it true that mr barra told 2 hrs…bcoz there lots of shouting that jholo is very angry..and taking this very seriously…they called their board meeting and decided a whole new strategy about after sales.
    …now their ceo will anounce any time in a press meeting that they are very much concern about excellent AS. So cheers to jholo fans ..this could be seen as next milestone towards excellency…from now onwards jholo will try to resolve any problem in 3 months instead of reagular 4 months , if it can be or if we could be… Looking for a long relation who trusted our jholo. Have fun jholo buyers…we are striving to save ur one month. ***like xiaomi we do not tell our customer to stick with one mobile for long….just throw it and have new one….we are launching sets on daily basis ..for whom ????
    It is for u my dear jholo buyers.

    Mr.Hugo Sir

    Default Android Browser is not up to the mark.There are many features missing.Like no option for Saved Pages for offline reading later,Option to make bookmarks in sub folder,etc. Micromax Canvas HD A116 had better Default Android Brower. Please look into same and update in your next update.
    Thanks
