Earlier this afternoon, Xiaomi announced on it’s Weibo microblog platform that the company had generated more than 3 million Yuan in revenue within a minute during the Xiaomi Mix 4’s debut sale.
However, the Xiaomi Mix 4 isn’t the only device that’s selling like hot cakes in the Chinese market. The newly announced Mi Pad 5 series which debut alongside the Xiaomi Mix 4 last week, was equally well received in the Chinese market.
Xiaomi claimed that the company managed to sell more than 200,000 Mi Pad 5 series tablets in just five minutes during it’s debut sale. The figure includes the sales number of both the vanilla Mi Pad 5 and the higher-end Mi Pad 5 Pro.
Although there still isn’t any words on the global availability of the new Mi Pad 5 series, but a recent report suggested that the new slates could be heading to the European market somewhere next month.
