As expected, the first sale of Redmi Note 3 and Mi5 both got sold out soon after the gates were opened.
With this, there are three more to go — two at 2 pm, and the last one at 5 PM.
No information about how many units were sold or put up today.
There is no information about how smooth the first sale went. However, Mi.com is hosted on a Singapore-based Amazon Web Services facility and therefore can sustain practically any amount of traffic that fans put the site through.
No reports of crashing or slowdown were reported — the biggest risk with timed sales.
