I had chosen already added address and card and when i enter my cvv its out of stock. Can you explain how this is possible. My internet speed is 1GBPS and with that I cannot place order then how some 3 Lac unit sold . Just gimmick. I still have other option and ready to spend 2-4k extra.

    The phone has sold out within a second on both Flipkart and MI .com
    Next sale is on 28 feb

I just do not want to go through the hassle of a flash sale, especially like this one where you see the "out of stock" message within seconds. I am even prepared to pay 1-2K extra to avoid having to go through the flash sale process, it IS that annoying to me.

      And I have already identified the alternative. New LG V20 is available for 16-17K on ebay. Older phone but is better in every conceivable way. Better processor, display, brand, memory, camera, software... you name it.

        Completely fake news. It just took 3 second to out of stock in flipkart. I click on buy now option(1 sec) and choose shipping address(1 sec) enter cvv no in stored card(1 sec) and next show out of stock. I was wonder even with all the information stored and unable to complete order 3 seconds then how come its out of stock. Plain cheating with the comments seen here I think no one has bought it. Mi directly sold to reseller by playing with us. Atleast in flipkart it took 3 seconds but it mi site it show you are in queue and then out of stock. They are fooling people even my friends say it goes out of stock in 2 second. Mine is 100mbs internet

              I have bought the Redmi Note 5 Pro and after successfully processing the payment my order has been cancelled by Flipkart. This is not fair. The whole process happened in a matter of seconds and the claimed 3 minutes & 300,000 units are all fake. I even got a confirmation Email & SMS regarding the order confirmation and they also debited the amount from my Credit Card. After all this they auto cancelled my order & now I have to wait 7 days to get my refund. This is cheating.

                Xiaomi 's flash sale is fake. I have not seen the buy button in flipkart and the stocks are out of stock and the time was 12o clock and 15 seconds. On the name of flash sales dont fool the buyers....u r there bcoz of us.

                  Its just a gimmick, i can confidently say that the numbers are fake. I tried purchasing the phone at exactly 12 noon, and in 2-3 seconds it said out of stock even after it was successfully added to card. Side by side i saw three people report the same thing. It cant be mere coincidence that 300,000 were sold in one second, right?. It could be 300 looking at the comments and discussing with fellow fans of Mi. A lot many people anxiously waiting for the phone were left utterly disappointed, Shame on you Xiaomi.
                  "This flash sale was a failure"

                    Unnecessary shenanigans by Xiaomi and Flipkart. Their sales process is ridiculously rigged and counter productive in my opinion. I waited an hour for the sale to begin, only to be greeted with an 'out of stock' message after a mere 10 seconds.

                    Their sales process is a shame because the phone itself looks great value for money in most ways. Would have loved to be able to get my hands on one without having to go through the pain of their flash sale.
                    I am not going to bother anymore, will go for an alternative.

                              What do you expect, at this price and specs, even if they ready 1million units will be gone in an instant. It's just unfortunate, they try to cut out the middle man to sell at cost price to you, the resellers will try to get it with botting anyway. They always must get their cut.

                                  It lasted less than 5 seconds.. Bots purchased it for resellers.. Poor Indians suffer the most.. Resellers would sell it at a higher price..

                                      --VM--, 22 Feb 2018How you can complete online payment in 10 seconds .. Most ... morePhone is added to the shopping card during those 10 seconds. Then u can order it within 15 minutes or your shopping card will get empty. So it's not like everything happens in 10s.

                                        I think they are cheating. When the countdown's over, I clicked the buy now button and its out of stock.
