Remember the Pocophone F1? The latest piece from top Chinese smartphone manufacturer, Xiaomi, that took the world by surprise when the company announced it with flagship features at budget price?
If the Pocophone F1 doesn’t ring any bell, you can check out the full specs of the device in this article. Point is: Xiaomi laced the Poco F1 with specs you’d find on flagship smartphones that cost $1000 and above, and will be selling it for $300 only! Amazeballs, yeah?
Well, in what seem to be quite expected, the Poco F1 is already racking in insane sales numbers on the first day of sale.
Through its official Twitter account (for India), the company announced that it made a total of INR 200 Crores (2 billion Indian Rupees) from the 5 minutes Flipkart flash sale of the Poco F1!
#POCOF1: thank you all for a fantastic response to the first sale!
We’re happy to announce that we generated ₹200+ cr in less than 5 minutes today, making this the BIGGEST & FASTEST flagship sale ever on @Flipkart!
Thank you, Masters Of Speed. Next sale is on 5th September! pic.twitter.com/cydGtGjlb6

And while Xiaomi didn’t exactly announced how many units of the device were sold, GSMArena estimates that it could range from 69,000 to 100,000, depending on the variants of the device that were sold.
The sale happened at about 12PM on August 29 and it was the first flash sale of the Poco F1 in the region. The flags sale is also said to be Flipkart’s biggest and fastest flash sale ever!
According to the tweet above, the next flash sale of the Poco F1 will happen on September 5. And whether or not the sales number and figures will equal or exceed this 2 billion feat, we look forward to finding out. But it most likely won’t. Or what do you think?
