On October 15th
Xiaomi will begin sales of the much-anticipated
Nvidia Tegra 4 powered Xiaomi
Mi3. We expect the
Mi3 to sell out
fast, but just how fast?
Xiaomi are masters at
marketing and creating demand. Their whole approach is to build so much anticipation that when they finally do
launch a product it is guaranteed to sell out, and usually within just a few minutes! The explanation behind this is that they don’t want to manufacturer to many of a single phone and be left sitting on unsold
stock, a good reason from a business sense and this also helps explain the companies low retail prices, but it can still be infuriating to customers.
This coming Monday (15th October) at 12 noon, the China Mobile version of the Xiaomi
Mi3 will go on sale. 100,000 handsets are up for
order and judging by their recent 2 minute sell out of the Hongmi for the same amount, we believe the
Mi3 could be out of
stock even faster!
