At the recent Xiaomi Mi4i launch, the Chinese smartphone maker surprised everyone by announcing the Mi Band in India. Well, the cheapest wearable in the market is now up for registrations. Xiaomi also announced a surprise — the company will put up the first 1000 units of the Mi Band for only Re 1. This will be done through a separate flash sale though.
The Xiaomi Mi Band is up for registrations right now and the first flash sale is scheduled for May 4, while the special Re 1 flash sale will be held at 2pm on May 5. The company also mentions that the units sold at Re 1 will be available for free delivery, but may not enjoy the same warranty conditions as regular Mi Band units.
Unlike other products by Xiaomi, the Mi Band will not sell through its usual channels. Instead, the device will be available only on Mi.com and users will have to buy it through that website.
Apart from the Re 1 sale, the Mi Band will sell in India for Rs. 999, which is less than half of what its competitors cost.
