According to Xiaomi, it has received over 100,000 registrations to buy Mi 3 in the country. So, expect a huge rush and it will be first come and first serve. It is still not clear how many units Xiaomi is putting for the sale today but it won’t be a really big number.  Also, the consumers will only be able to purchase one Mi 3 smartphone per Flipkart account, so don’t try to add more units to your Flipkart cart, your whole order will be cancelled.
