The Xiaomi Mi 5 is still not available in all markets at the moment as the company decided to launch it in China first before other markets. The company even held its first flash sale which saw over 4 million units of the Mi 5 sold. This is quite impressive as selling such number of units in less than a day is not easy.

Over 17 million people had expressed interest in participating in this flash sale but only 4 million of them could. This shows how interested people are with this phone because of how good it is. Xiaomi has a second flash sale scheduled for Tuesday next week in Beijing and expects to sell the same number of units.

Given the huge interest in this smartphone, Xiaomi has asked the manufacturer Foxconn and Inventec to increase production of the Mi 5. This just shows you how confident the company has with this phone. Previously the company’s CEO had been quoted saying that the phone will not be available in all global markets but am pretty sure if the initial sales are positive, the company will rethink its strategy.
