Xiaomi raked in some serious sales figures over the past week in India. The company announced that it sold a whopping 5.3 million Xiaomi devices in just 7 days during the Diwali With Mi sale that took place across Amazon India, Flipkart and Mi.com. The 5.3 million total includes not only Xiaomi’s smartphones but also Mi TVs and other IoT products that are part of the company’s diverse and ever-growing portfolio.
In a recent tweet, Xiaomi claimed it sold 525 devices every minute since the start of Diwali With Mi sale on Amazon and Flipkart. Of the 5.3 million Xiaomi devices sold, over 3.8 million were smartphones. The company said this meant over 50 per cent growth compared to last year’s performance and the biggest Diwali sale by any brand.
