Xiaomi pushes half a million Redmi Note 11 devices in one hour

Xiaomi introduced the Redmi Note 11 series last week with three amazing smartphones, and unsurprisingly they sold out during the first flash sale.

According to official sources, over 500,000 units were sold in the span of one hour – that includes the Redmi Note 11 that was on sale, as well as pre-ordering Redmi Note 11 Pro and Redmi Note 11 Pro+.

The new series arrived with aggressively low prices, right in time for the November 11 shopping holiday in China, and customers immediately took advantage of the situation. The Redmi Note 11 starts from CNY1,199 (around $185) and has a Dimensity 810 chipset, 33W fast charging and a big 6.6” LCD with a 90 Hz refresh rate.

The Pro variants have a more powerful Dimensity 920 SoC, four cameras, and plenty of fast charging, with the Plus option promising 120W rates.

Xiaomi or its brand Redmi did not reveal when the next flash sale will take place, but we expect more pre-orders and sales in the days leading up to 11.11, increasing the total number of sales even further.
