It’s 29th July and the Xiaomi Mi3 sales begins. The first lot sold out in less than 40 minutes thanks to server errors on Flipkart, let’s hope their server survives this time. According to sources this time Flipkart will have around 10K units as compared to 5K the first time.
In case you miss this opportunity the registration for the next sale will begin today itself at 6PM. Orders will be placed on first come first serve only and only one phone can be purchased per customer, don’t waste your time ordering multiple units.
I had ordered the Mi3 the first time itself, I am sure you might have already read my Mi3 review. It will not be easy this time, but the chances of successful orders are high as the stocks are almost double.
Let us know your Flipkarting experience with Mi3, did you get one or missed it.
Buy Mi3 from Flipkart for Rs. 13,999.
Many users have commented the units sold out within 5 seconds. And yes this time too there were some server issues.
How did that happen, stock sold in 5 seconds?
If you may recall the first time the Flipkart servers crashed for almost 38 minutes now that happened because the unit was considered sold only when the payment was made. And because of heavy traffic most of the users, including myself has to refresh the order page, got stuck on the payment page.
This time Flipkart made some alterations, the moment the user hit the buy button a single unit was registered for him/her and the user got plenty of time to make the payment. This is the reason why the Mi3 went out of stock in 5 seconds, logically it is not possible to place an order and make the payments within 5 sec.
I am waiting for Xiaomi Mi3 64GB.
@Gogi and all reader plse read this post its important for all http://m.gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/is-xiaomi-secretly-sending-smartphone-user-data-to-chinese-servers-567686
Shashi, pls check this
And pls check my video review there is data restrict option for messaging app I think it will block data access for that.
Gogi! I had flipkart first subscription. Waited from 12.00 PM and yet I wasn’t able to order. No pass as well.
Login at 10 am. @ desktop Kept mi3 page open. Refreshed page at 2:00 pm pressed buy button. Adding to cart errors errors. Then got a MSG that “we have reserved one unit for you but could not add to kart” come back in 15 mins” After some errors, I was able to goto cart at 2:10 pm and able to pay at 2:15pm
Got confirmation email within seconds.
Many people blame flipkart, I think FK tried their best to avoid customer frustration, I think it is purely luck and depends on what picked up by the server
I tried in the first sale, I couldn’t get it. But lucky this time. Eagerly waiting for the unit.
Same Experience as Venky….. Logged in @ 10 a.m Kept on refreshing at regular intervals….When the window opened Clicked on Buy..At first it showed “You haven’t registered for today’s sale.”….This was the Error shown by them…after reloading the page clicked on Buy Now and then it showed something went wrong….It happened nearly 5-10 times till i got the same confirmation as Venky’s….

Don’t rush. Just wait for the reviews. These are Chinese after all.
You have no idea about Xiaomi . I’m following the company from its very beginning. Please look around and notice how many chinese product you are using ?
well said Pradip..!
People are severely disappointed with asus zenfones, build quality is low, imagine asus can do that then how shud we trust xiaomi, not a single review says ‘wow, its the best’, anyway my view. Rush if you like.
Todays last buyer of mi 3 order placed at 8:45 pm.
A big scam in creating artificial demand by selling through a single outlet Govt should investigate people are being duped.
Very true and also any spy angel too.
Bhai the set will be already added in his / her cart when he / she managed to press buy now buttons within 5 secs and penetrating 230001 possible customers login to get place in 20k after that he / she might taken a good nap and ordered it at 8:45 pm. This I think, don’t know if you have any other source or tell.
Someone is interested to buy new xiaomi sealed packed.I live in Bhopal.
For contact me ajatav40@gmail.com
Xiaomi mi4 sold out in 37 seconds in china..
Hi Gogi,
– Thank you for the information. I was amazed when my sister at Mumbai tried ordered, But, she just replied said It was out of stock as she did logged before three hours prior before the sales started. Now, i am worried do I get the product or not.
– Or is there any way of buying the product? Since I am at Manipur,I am pretty sure It wouldn’t be possible for shipments services.
– Is there any suggestion that I should inform my sister to buy without any hassles.
Thanking you Gogi Bhai,
Regards,
Siam Simte ( Former Reviewer at Digit India )
Siam, check the cart see if there is anything some users have commented they got mail from flipkart to complete order. Also for next time do read the flipkart instructions.
Thank you indeed.
Gogi when the Xiaomi Redmi 1s will be available?
I was able to book MI3 on 22nd and got on 23rd with one day delivery option.
I need dual sim so I am waiting for xiaomi redmi note 🙂
Anyone who is from Ahmedabad and want to buy..? may be I can buy as I have still in my Cart..!! 🙂
As I was planning to buy for my Brother and luckily I have added in cart but now my brother is not interested to buy.!! :(“ and still it is displaying and also I am able to make payment or COD..!!
yes I have interest and I live also Ahmadabad, maninagar..
Hi, I would be highly delighted if you could enter my address for COD and it gets shipped to my address. Was waiting for a good phone since ages and hence didn’t buy a phone after screen broke on my prev. Phone. Still using Nokia 105. Please let me know via email
Please send to me I will buy ,last date today. as flipkart saying Still if is in the cart to book.my email id is,sandeep212014@rediffmail.com
Waiting for your reply.
I was equally disappointed on the first day of sale on 22……I was logged in hours earlier today; faced similar messages on FlipKart toady…
“not registered”, “Something went wrong, Try again”, “out-of-stock”, etc. However I was able to successfully add one phone to cart. Bless India, power went off just when I was going through the payment. I immediately completed rest of the transaction through my phone (on 3G).
My NetBanking password didn’t work, had to use a CCard…..its really strange that after all the odds transaction went through successfully.
That said, I agree that flipkart should have managed the show better.
God knows when flipkart is gonna launch accessories !!
I agree, i tried to buy the second lot and i was ready for purchase 30 min prior to when the sale began…i was continuously hitting the refresh button for the “Buy Now” button to become active, however @2 PM the button become active, but within a second the product was Out of Stock…Strange but true…i am still wondering how come in seconds someone can even purchase a product.
Very funny I am holding a mi3 in my cart and flipkart has mailed me to complete my order before 11:59 PM 30/7/2014.
Today i got the order confirmation for mi3 from flipkart and will receive the shipment on Aug 4.
MI3 out of stock so I go Asus Zenfone 5 8GB . Can anyone say form where i can get Asus Zenfone 5 8GB?
Nilay asus zenphone is only avilable in flipkart……..
Now only 16 gb there but I have an extra sealed cover 8 gb z5 black.
By seeing this comments now I seems like very lucky guy with out any trouble I have ordered mi3 on first day itself and got it yesterday.
I got it first time. I didn’t get this time out of stock less than 30 min.
I got this MI3 today. At sharp 2 pm, I clicked on buy button but error message displayed that you are not the registered user. Then I refreshed the page and again clicked on buy button this time it showed something went wrong, retry. I clicked on Retry link 4-5 times, finally at 2:05 pm I was able to add the item in cart and done immediate payment through Debit Card.
But as per the email received from flipkart yesterday they have instructed that Payment will be done after 6pm but I has done payment immediately after the item is placed in the cart.
Mail received from flipkart yesterday:
Make sure that you are logged in at least 2-3 hours before the sale begins.
You will be able to reserve your phone starting 2pm, July 29th. You will not need to pay at this stage.
Your Mi 3 will be automatically added to your cart by 6 PM.
Please check your email after 6 PM on July 29 for detailed payment instruction.
Do ensure that you have completed your order before 11:59 PM on July 30 (Wednesday).
At last I made it….!!!! At exactly 2 pm when I clicked buy now button, I got a message “You are not registered”. I refreshed the page several times and again clicked buy now button, Again I got messages like “an error has occured or You are not registered”. Meanwhile I was simultaneously logged in to may account via the flipkart android app. When timer expired and I hit the buy button..my app freezed and then showed error. I closed the app and again restarted it and pressed the buy now again…and then, guess what…Viola…Adding product to your kart…It took almost 35 seconds to add product to my cart. Finally I proceeded to payment gateway, made my payment and finally got a confirmation from WS retail. I did not expected the stocks to run out so fast in just 3-5 minutes. Although I was lucky this time, but I am not putting very high hopes on this product coz too many customers on flipkart have complained about receiving faulty or dead on arrival handsets. Well, hoping for a good product and keeping my fingers crossed buddies. I advise you guys to use flipkart app with cash on delivery option to increase your odds of getting this handset. Will soon put up a legitimate unbiased review of this handset once I get my delivery. Best of luck..!!!
Hi Gogi, two of my friends who are bros were waiting for mi3 purchase with their Flipkart accounts logged in. They both were using different PC’s which are arranged side by side. One of them was able to book and other wasn’t. Actually what they said is one who was able to book got buy now option much before the other. There was around a difference of 7 seconds before another PC got buy now option. There might be some tactics these Flipkart people are playing.
I pre ordered it on the very first day. Logged on to flipkart from the morning of sale. Made a demo details page. Ordered cash on delivery. It took me about 15 secs to complete the entire process. Received my device on 26th.
Better go with Zen phone5 or 6.
Are you guys able to see reviews for this phone in flipkart? It seems that is also blocked. I can’t even see the review of actual buyers who managed to get the phone on first day !!
Yes! got one reserved within few seconds,then after 15min completed the booking process.
Friends I don’t how it can be done but surprisingly I placed my order. Before placing the order I was using flipkart by opera mini but now I installed flipkart and after login, I seen my cart had mi3 happily ordered!
I am able book mi3 this time. I used airtel 3g and followed the instruction as u have to login before2-3 hrs.Once book now tab activated,u shouldn’t press the link several times, but once. It showed in a blinking notification that we have reserved one for you and please come back after 15 minutes. Again after 15 minutes, I have logged in and booked a mi3 for me and also u have to opt for COD payment mode for smooth booking process
I see so that’s how it worked, thanks for the info Mr. Bhanu.
i was click to buy then this msg is appeared on my screen.
You’ve already purchased one Mi 3. To
make another purchase you’ll need to
register for the next sale day on Aug 5,
2014.
even i can’t entered my address..
Now i think its marketing strategy of flipkart or Xiaomi.
From now I’m not a xiaomi fan anymore.. bye bye.
A glimmer of hope. Here’s FK mail.
Make sure that you are logged in at least 2-3 hours before the sale begins.
You will be able to reserve your phone starting 2pm, July 29th. You will not need to pay at this stage.
Your Mi 3 will be automatically added to your cart by 6 PM.
Please check your email after 6 PM on July 29 for detailed payment instruction.
Do ensure that you have completed your order before 11:59 PM on July 30 (Wednesday)
I have a feeling flipkart first member will get higher priority
Is xiaomi a good brand?
Its not a good brand. At least the way they sell phones.
Now Gogi’s site is going to crash due to flood of comments….LOL….The count is showing 183 comments but when we click it shows 109 comments.
Flipkart is irritating their customers.
Please gogiji,do let us know as’ in stock’.may be for sometime.just as last time you did.
I agree with sandeep, I logged in 2.15 pm it shows out off stock,and mr rana sir please review asus zenfone 5.
Yes I agree too,
Gogi ji kindly review Asus Zenphone 5,
It seems to be a good phone ss this brand is much above xiaomi.
KINDLY REVIEW DIS PHONE ASAP.
Thanks.
No one can finish the transaction with in five seconds as the bank servers itself will take 3seconds to process in which it should pass three gateways for the transaction and they calim out of stock with in five seconds. Its completely fake and i completely see its playing games like UMI X2.
First U need to Reserve the device and then Purchase when ur free…they said this yesterday itself….check ur mail…
Below is the mail content that flipkart has emailed. And also do check this video link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bqKJ7H07Rs what happened to others too.

Hi
Same for me.
Is FK helping Xiaomi to create Hype?
This is very bad test for shopping online. Flipkart shall understand this.
Yes.. i got it within first few seconds .. may be that was sheer luck.. however it went out of stock in 5 minutes time.. hopefully the next sale would be able to cater to better demand..
Within 5 minutes. I have snapshot that took at 14.02 that means it went out of stock within 2 mins. These guys are just playing with us. Gogi i m regular follower of this site. In fact as per suggestions i have bought 2 handsets too. Answer one question. Is it possible to go out of stock just within 5 seconds? I doubt on flipkart too. I just removed this handset from my wishlist too. And one more question – when redmi 1s gonna be available?
Pls read the article.
I will better buy ASUS ZENPHONE 4 A450CG when ever it is released
Which is more difficult : Buy a tatkal ticket on irctc or buy a #MI3 on #flipkart ?
TATKAL has become lot easier now . . .;)
I already was said that this could be xiomi’s marketing strategy.
its not like out of stock within 5 seconds its all based on registration whoever register first will get priority ppl who bought the fon on 1st sale were lucky at least it was in stock for 30 min lastly for those who couldnt get ur hands on this masterpiece dont moan saying its not worthy,making fools,blame xiaomi,flipkart etc jst wait n try again or stay shut
I registered for the first sale. Couldnt get it. registered again the same day and today pressed buy button exactly at 2Pm. Out of stock. So its not about registering and first come first serve. try to understand the marketing game. Xiaomi needs free publicity in this competitive world. yes their phone may be good but that is not enough. Cheap and free publicity is somehting everyone need. but there are ways to do it. and the way Xiaomi is doing well its not ethical.
It’s more difficult than to book tatkal ticket.
Ha haa. nice joke sumith
Then why they said ‘first come first serve’.
1.Download the flipkart’s official app on your smartphone, it will actually reduce the server errors that you face on your desktop.
2.Make sure that you clear all the cookies and cache and after doing so just once open the site and stay there for about 2-3 minutes.
3.Log into your account 1 hour before the sale so that you don’t need to log in at the time of purchase which will result in fast placing of order.
4.Buy the device via Cash on delivery because payment gateways will not work at that moment due to heavy load.
Use Flipkart’s app to get some discounts, if they add some at the time of sale.
Fake hipe
flipkart’s fb page says out of stock in 5sec …………….are they ***** or we are they making fool of us its there marketing strategy.
Yes, flipkart is making us fools. I was registered from day one during last week and till date it was showing that I am already registered as those who could not buy in first sale were automatically registered for second sale . I was logged in since 5 hours and sharp at 2 PM it shows that I am not registered . Within seconds it shows out of stock …!!! This means they actually don’t have any stock or they have sold all phones in grey market…..Can any one check ….The worst pathetic website ever seen….
Same here bro. I have now realized why there prices are low. Phone may be great but what if does not reach the customer.
China maal saste mein,
Really they are cheap people.
bloody loosers man !! . Not even secs it shows sold off . Why the F**k these guys take the franchise when they cant cater. China maal..lol
Guyz,
This is artificial demand hype created by not great xiaomi and ugly flipkart. because last batch in india sold in 38minutes and 50 seconds. This is longest time taken by xiaomi to sell their mobiles in the world. So, they are creating artificial demand and says out of stock. AVOID xiaomi. because they never change their marketing strategy. Even if you are looking to book in the next batch result will be same as today on that day. marketing strategy of xiaomi will be global they sell their mobiles in max 10 thousand pieces and not more than that.
Xiaomi came with 10400 units today for sale and it was out of stock in record time. India is breaking the sale records from China, Singapore, etc. Time for them to bring in the 64 GB unit for sale.
go to hell flipkart and also chineese mi3 i can not believe on chineese very bad flipkart is one of the wort websiite that i ever seen i am also web developer but they don’t have developer handle to that website
go to hell i am going to buy S5
I would suggest people to go for ALCATEL IDOL X+, as I did. Its worht every penny you spend. It also got KitKat now and I am quite happy with it. In fact, I was suggesting Mi3 to my friends only for one reason it being 3K cheaper, but with the current situation idol X+ is a winner.
yes. its betetr to go with reputed and ethical companies. Xiaomi is very unethical and full of crooked strategies. Cheap as it can get, Shameful.
I have idol x+ its good but can’t be compared to mi3 on graphics part also it has heating issues its has not got kitkat yet.
Same Here I am also using Alcatel & very happy with that but still no update for Android 4.4.
Pl recheck & update.
SIR please tell me is there any service centre of xioami in J&K… (kashmir )
Actually its 5secs..
Yes updated.
In five seconds no one can finish the transaction its completely fake.
Yureshwar, I have updated the article check it.
They start taking booking from 11 a.m.and shows only at 2 pm as out of stock then its actually 3 hours 5 second.

It seems dat Xiaomi and Flipkart are making people fool, on 29th (today).On side they say sale will start at 2 pm, At 2.03 mins they say out of stock but countdown clock says sale will start in 2 hs and 50mins What is this ? Indian govt should put some stringent rules on such new companies who enter India and selling their products online only. There are flood of complaints after their 1st sale, but still few people are saying that the product is ” AWESOME ” just to boost their sales, Xiaomi should 1st send their products to retail showrooms so that one can buy by operating it physically. Customers should not buy online and should be aware of Fake Reviewers.
Product is Good but what to do If “U” cannot get your hands on it…..It seems Demand is More….U should scold more on indian Brands for not giving Quality Products like xiaomi….
Artificially hiking up the demand is a bad strategy. Xiaomi is doing this exactly
Agree, same with me, it showed “Out of stock” at 2:05pm to me. ..
Dear friend i ‘n owing mi3 its fantastic no comparison with sh**ty Samsungs, as far as selling strategy is concern, dear they are free to sell as they wish through stores or online, grapes are sour.
I have a Note 2. Well I don’t think you have the right to call samsung Shi**y. Mind your words friends.
All gimmick,
I think they had hardly few sets for sale. And even before people started purchasing the stock was over!!!! Is it a joke? I have been waiting on the flipkart site for purchase since 30 mins in advance and I see it goes out of stock as soon as the buy Now button is active… No this way people will lose their interest, rather we would buy another handset, if supply is not able to meet the demand. It may be a good value for money, but no one would like to wait in queue every week and fail to purchase, because stock gets over in seconds.
Gogi Paaji,
I can vouch for my words here, the MI3 went OOS at the first second, coz I pressed on the Buy now button as soon as it showed up without any delay, and within 3 seconds the next page opened which said OOS.
This can’t happen, I am damn sure, cheap publicity or bad server/ software of flipkart, don’t know which one is to be blamed.
I agree with you…it went out of stock in 5 seconds. Its simply not possible. They simply dont have the stock.. They are just fooling people.
I dont agree with you. I purchased it around 2:05 PM
They are making fool of us. I login frm last 3 hrs to buy but exactly at 2 pm its showing out of stock? they are jst wasting our time.
Yes exactly
Its really true, I logged in 3 hours before and at 2:00 it says stock out. Flipkart is really playing with us. Or we are dumb*** to get into this gimmick.
Its all about luck. I purchased it around 2:05 PM
Why r u getting fooled, forget this fantastic phone and b wise.. Ha….ha….ha
Atleast the branded companies dont do like this . . . may b they dont give the devices at throw away prices, but they dont fool people like xiaomi and flipkart are doing, shame on both, i will better buy lumia handset. . bye bye xiaomi u lost a customer
Not only you they have lost hunderds of customers.
Flipkart has poor management, really shame on them.
Yes Bye bye Xiaomi. And shame on all the paid bloggers who are shouting Xiaomi Xiaomi. Get realistic and see the real picture please. We are no fools Mr Hugo Barra. You first server your chinese customers properly then venture outside.
Plus one i.e. 2 customers…
Those who got it can get atleast 3000 extra if they sell it on ebay as new sealed box i am sure abt it.
Hi Gogi, I was planning to buy for my Brother and luckily I have added in cart and still it is displaying and also I am able to make payment or COD..!! but now my brother is not interested to buy.!! 🙁
I am, mujhe dede yara.. .
Good Game!! by flip kart & Xioami Thank God. I already bought Asus Zenfone 5. Otherwise I could also be frustrated.
Vipin can you share honest feedback about Zenphone 5. Although its showing out of stock in flipkart for a while but i want to go with Asus.
I checked it on flipkart app at 11:00, the “Buy Now” button was inactive and a message saying sale will begin at 2:00 PM was showing but when I tried at exactly 2:00 pm it showing “Out of stock”. What happened??? Surprised how can it be possible? It got vanished within seconds. How many customers would be able to buy???
Finally i was able to place an MI3 order today. I think today what they have done is that when you clicked on buy they allocated one MI3 to that account as in my case it has shown the message that one MI3 is reserved for you, you can come after 15 min to complete the purchase.
Buy option was showing inactive exactly at 2 and then showing out of stock.
Same here . I too reserved .
gone in just 90 sec i cant believe it ….maybe flipkart server just crashed and they trying to save the face by saying ” out of order”
This seems to be typical Chinese way of selling.
Thank God.
Placed order successfully. & again it goes out of stock
how could they sellout in 1 minute?
Its out of syock within SEVEN minutes
Good Opportunity once again.
Gogi Sir any update on Redmi 1S & Note ???
Also eager to know about Barometer Sensor in MI3, please reply.
Hi Gogi… Successfully booked one for me.. It’s Double Eid for me… Eagerly waiting ..Will be delivered by tomorrow hopefully . Eid Mubarak…!!!
biggest problem with MI3 for me is that is doesn’t have a dual sim….
Second lot got finished in less than 5 minutes.
Vanished in just a minute 🙁
I checked since 1.59 count down 1 minute was there, at 2 pm out of stock.
yes it true
I got it. Stock went of within a few seconds. I am now a fan of Xiaomi Mi3
Exactly am totally surprised how is it possible?
Dear Sir,I tried on my mobile app and it shows out of stock in just 2.01pm.This is some thing cant be accepted.Mi india and flipkart making us fools.
and now it goes out of stock.. this time was even less than before
May be I can buy one as I have in added in cart..!! and still it is displaying.!!
Haha… again out of stock 😀
it’s only 20 minutes and the stocks are gone.. really frustrating.. have they sold all the 10k units? or, they are just creating hype by this “register, sale, and out of stock in no time” drama? 🙁
Stock out again 🙁
Hi
At 2.00PM during my login error was shown and now it is coming as out off stock. How this is possible with in next 3min?
Hello gogi. Any news about the redmi 1s. Very eager to buy it.
🙁 again i missed it…. gogi sir aap apna mi3 hi sell kar do mujhe
Gone in just 10 minutes.
Sales in just 2 second don’t believe……
I had registered for 29th july’s sale but when I clicked on buy now I got error saying sorry you are not registered and refreshed the page and it was out of stock, but I’m sure I had registered myself for the sale I was eager to buy this phone since I’m using Micromax a52 since 2 years. I hope Flipkart solves this issue and I’m able to buy the phone on 5th august.
Same thing happen with me…. gogi this is injustice… please convey our anger to FK and Xiaomi…:'(
me 2 same bro not registered… and when i refreshed page it flew away
Yeah, Same issue I was facing for first few tries and when I changed my login to other ID, I got the message Out of stock. This happened in the span of 1 minute i.e. 2.01 PM.
Out of stock… I checked @ 2:15.. 🙁
The sale was over at 2 PM itself !! It showed out of stock at 2 pm.
Went out of stock within a minute.
Hi Gogi, I’ve managed to successfully book one. I also got a confirmation e-mail from FK. However, I don’t see it listed in my ‘My Orders’ section. But if I click the ‘Track Order’ button from within the e-mail, I’m able to track the progress of my order! Please confirm if this is normal behaviour. Thanks
if you made payment then good, it takes some time for order confirmation when traffic is high.
Yes, I made the payment and received SMS from bank as well. Fingers Crossed. Heard too many stories of orders being cancelled even after booking the last time around. I ensured that FK delivers to my PIN code even though I’ve ordered many items to the same address before 🙂
Wow! My order is now showing up in the ‘My Orders’ section on FK. Thanks Gogi! I’ve been following your reviews on Youtube for quite some time now and was confused between Mi3 and Idol X+ and your reviews have helped make an informed decision. Mi Band + Mi Piston 2 ~= 2k which means I pay 16k in total. Personally I feel Mi3 + Mi Band + Mi Piston 2 > Alcatel One Touch Idol X+. Keep those reviews coming Gogi 🙂
congrats bro finally you got
i have logged before 3 hours and finally when clocked stop i just pressed button buy and its shows out of stock
how it can be possible within 2 second it goes sales?
after every second i try to refresh the page but same.
it is the issue of FlipKart ?
Out of stock.
Hey it just shows out of stock in just 2 seconds.
Shown stock out within seconds..
These guys are fooling us. Just within 2 minutes of sale it got out of stock.. What did that mean? Not possible practically. Now not gonna buy MI3 anymore. I just removed from my wishlist too. Good luck xiaomi fiaomi viaomi.. Indian brands are far better than these oppo foppo xiaomi fiaomi. Gogi bro on the other hand you took favour of these guys? Why ? Flipkart had sent an e mail about to book handset and when i went to book got status as out of stock ? I mean whats this?
Hi All ,
My order is placed after 18 mins struggle.
Because of the huge web traffic , the flipkart servers are going mad….. 🙂
Buddy seems cool that u were able to manage your struggles for even 18 minutes on site when we all were having status “out of stock”. It looks cool buddy that u managed.. Appreciated man. Whats the order status ?
It went out of stock in 1 : 30 i. e. in 90 seconds.
2 minutes and its out of stock….. Very bad
Whpoaaa man what rush on the site i was booking one but on 2:01, it showed out of stock and on 2:05 i stopped trying constatnly out of stock for 4 mins.. lots of tabs , refreshes
I EVEN DIDNT one time got button of buy now
Very Disappointed
Gogi Sir,
Is Flipkart offering this device at 13999 inclusive of VAT, As per Zauba, the Import price is already 12927,
So that leaves a lot margin of not much more than Rs1000. So how can it include VAT, plus profit for Flipkart as well as delivery charges.
Please Reply
Thanks
XIAOMI and FLIPKART together fooling people….!!! are they have 5-10 phones for sale tht i show out of stock in 1-2 mins? IRCTC is better
Completely agree. they are falsely pumping up the demand to get more free marketing. Its extremely unethical marketing from Xiaomi. Afterall they are Chinese. When i was in Bejing one Chinese colleague told me “we are off colurse going to cheat you but you will never know where we cheat”. Xiaomi wont be able to make much headway here in India with these false news of 10000 phones sold in 30 seconds story. Its all false claims. Complete rubbish. I tried to book at 2pm and 5 seconds and it showed me out of stock message. So?
out of stock in 2 mins . flipkart is playing .
out of stock??? looks like they have only 1000 units
This is cheating. It got over at 2:00 itself. better to wait for a month or buy it from ebay by paying extra bucks.
I logged-in thru flipcart mob app at 11am today to buy this phone and I had a great surprise when I tried buy now option at 2pm and it says “MI3 Sale is over”, Gogi ji, how z this possible??????
Sanjay trust me Xiaomi is just fooling people. and they are getting free publicity by all these stories of huge stocks sold out in few minutes crap. Indian customers are not fools Mr Hugo Barra. And Flipkart hightime you guys behave ethically. No where can stuff get sold out dot on the sale time only. Stocks sold out at sharp 2Pm itself. What a joke??? There is a reason when people avoid these Chinese brands.
Out of stock in 15mins 🙁
It was Out of Stock at 2Pm 5 seconds flat. I tried myself. Its all gimmicks. they are trying desperately to create word of mouth and free online buzz.
bhai 3 min mein out of stock ho gya…….
Gogi,
hope soon gogi.in will become the google for mobile reviews. i really admire and appreciate your honest reviews. I have booked mi3 after reading your review and my order is confirmed. expected delivery date is 02/08/14. I had bought a117 on your recommendations and i am really satisfied with its performance but last night soft keys gave up so would have to take it to service center, one more reason to go for mi3 i guess.
just one question in comparison which has better rear camera output mi3 or a117?
out of stick
Got over in 2 mins . Unbelievable!!!
Dear gogi
I already have flipkart account. Do i still need to register?
disappeared in 3 mins.showing out of stock
LOL, I tried to buy it, then it showed not registered and in 2 minutes it was OUT OF STOCK!!!!!
Oh no,
Again waiting for 15 min. from flipkart
Oh no,
Again eating for 15 min. from flipkart
For alll those crazy about xiaomi pls read this…as far as I am concerned I wanted to buy a MI3 but couldnt do twice. But then I have realized that when a company cannot meet the demands in china why have they entered India? and why so much gimmicks during the sale? we are smart to see the free marketing gimmicks.
sold out in 2 minutes “/
Already Out of stock! – with in 1 min.
Already out of stock withink 2 seconds. out of stock at 2:02 PM

Flipkart is a liar. Without selling out of stock.
Flipkart and Xiaomi are both cheats. They donot have the stock. They simply trying to get free publicity through blogs and free press news. Chinese companies end of day are cheats.
I missed it again. Poor flipkart. Asking for login inspite of me being logged in 15min before.
I don’t know what the hell is happening. It went out of stock in the first minute itself for me. kitne piece mangaye the in chu@@yon ne….
Its all gimmick brother. These flipkart and xiaomi thinks they are very smart and we cant see the game they are playing with us the customers. Ullu bana raha hain yaar.
I think Flipkart and Xioami making people fool.
I was logged in before 2 hr. Mi 3 page was showing time count down.
Then 5…4….3….2…1…Buy Now. And buy clicking Buy now it get out of stock within second of time.
I think they are just making people fool, showing how huge responce they are getting. But true part is they are selling only few units.
I waited for more than month for Mi 3 and it will better to me get Idol onetouch+ or go with mmx.
Completely agree with you brother. Xiami and Flipkart both are making the Indian customer fools. We can see their game plan. They want free publicity. Bunch of crooks. There is a reason when people say avoid the Chinese.
I got it today, i think today traffic is slow.. Got it with in 3 min..
Initially gave error of server issue, but got it quickly after.
Fingers crossed..
