The soon to be launched Mi4 has replaced
the Mi3 on the production lines. Xiaomi is
also concentrating on the Redmi Note for
now.
The much talked about Xiaomi Mi3 has gone out of
production in India. According to company VP Hugo Barra ,
the Mi3 has been replaced by the Xiaomi Mi4 in the
production lines, which is supposed to launch in India by
the end of the year or early 2015. The company will still
offer some units of the Mi3 in the coming few months, but
no more full fledged sales for the Mi3 will be organised. The
company will presumably finish up the inventory that it
currently has, while preparing for the Mi4.
Point in fact, Xiaomi recently sent emails to Mi3
customers who have tried to purchase the device more than
five times unsuccessfully. The Mi3 was automatically added
to their carts on Flipkart and a mail was sent informing
them of the same. Xiaomi will continue to sell the devices
for some more time, but no new units are being produced.
The device will be replaced by the Mi4 as the flagship in
country.
Meanwhile, Xiaomi is preparing to bring out its Redmi Note
smartphone in India. Barra said that the device should be
coming soon and the company is working on the final steps
required. In addition, Barra also mentioned that Xiaomi has
solved the heating issues in the Redmi 1S smartphone,
which led to performance issues. Xiaomi will be pushing an
OTA update soon, which will rectify the heating issues and
consequent performance drop in the device.
Lastly, in what should be good news for Xiaomi aficionados,
Barra said that the company will be bringing more units of
its products. According to him, Xiaomi flash sales should
last more than just a few seconds from now on. The
company recently sold about one lakh units of the Redmi 1S
during Flipkart’s Big Billion Day sale.
