**** The Official Chinese Phones Thread ****

[nicktay2605]

So tomorrow Xiaomi are kicking off an epic sale to celebrate their UK launch! Here's the link: https://event.mi.com/uk/sales2018/open-sales Best get it bookmarked cos it seems they will be selling some stuff for......wait for it..... £1!!! Seriously wonder how that's going to work!

I imagine it will be very limited quantities, I'd guess maybe 100 phones or thereabouts? Presumably first come, first served. I'll be there waiting for it leading up to 12pm, but I very much doubt I'll be lucky enough to get one. I'm willing to bet the website will crash and by the time it's back up they'll all be gone, always happens with this sort of thing.

Well, I'll be there online waiting as well. We'll see how quickly the website crashes! Lol. If I do get one, it would make the most awesome Christmas gift for the missus as she's still rocking her SGS6!!

Well I'm sure I have no chance but may as well try regardless, nothing to loose.

Well seems my Mi Mix 3 will be here Tuesday, I'll let you know about the battery life. As long as it gets my through the day It's fine by me.

There's a list of phones that are available for £1, today it's the Mi8 lite , another entry level phone at 8pm and the same schedule tomorrow.

My Pocophone has never even got to half empty with a full days use and that's very similar hardware and a 4000mah battery, so the Mix 3 will easily get through a day.

That "buy now" button turned to "out of stock" pretty quick

Oh well my F1 should arrive in a few days anyway

 

[Drizmod]

Knew it was fake. Literally F5 every second and the moment it hits 12:00 its out of stock. refreshed at 12:00:01 as well. meh

 

[Earth[Tera].bin]

Yeah, i'm sure it'll be fine.

As for the crazy deals, counter hit zero and I hit buy it now , instantly sold out lol.

 

[nade]

LOL was gonna post the same, no chance anyone ordered within a fraction of a sec.

 

[Drizmod]

Marketing Scam to gain attention

 

[CK61938]

There's no way they all went out of stock in less than 1 second!!

 

[Earth[Tera].bin]

If it was genuine I'd expect a fully of Mi 8 Lites to appear on eBay soon.

Like I said. There was noting for £1. it went to sold out at exactly 12:00:00

 

[kmax86]

Anyone lucky enough to get £1 phone?

It was just a drive to get folks to their webby tbh. It worked.
