By the time the sale begins, thousands of buyers who have been hyped up by the upcoming sale will rush to the website, log-in, and buy the phone right away, thinking that supplies will be limited (as often mentioned in these sales). 

During the last flash sale of the Xiaomi Redmi 1S in India, the manufacturer allotted 40,000 units, and they were gone easily after the flash sale went live. As a result, the Chinese brand will add 20,000 more units for the flash sale scheduled on September 23.

Also on board the device is a decent 8MP primary camera while a 1.6MP front-facing shooter graces the phone's facade. The phone packs a 2,000mAh battery for power to last an entire day. 

In the report, the Indian online retailer suggests interested buyers to be logged in 2-3 hours before the official sale begins. That reportedly 'increases' their chances of getting one. 

The Xiaomi Redmi 1s costs just INR 5,999 or about $98. Interestingly, the phone sells slightly cheaper in India than in China, which is the homeland of Xiaomi.
