Rewriting the same. Me and my son simultaneously tried our luck with the Xiaomi A 1flash sale today. Before we could select the color it was out of stock, what a rubbish gimmick.
Immediately my son contacted the Xiaomi store,he is in Bengaluru. The said device was readily available for offline sale there. So he got one of his choice. A number of people were visiting the store for offline purchase of newly introduced Xiaomi devices.
