Lenovo ZUK Z1 flash sale in India: When can you buy the smartphone next? [Tips and tricks]

Lenovo ZUK Z1 is selling like hot cupcakes in India as the demand for the handset can be seen in its weekly flash sales. After the last sale on Amazon on June 9, Lenovo ZUK Z1 will be available next on June 16. As usual, the flash sale will be held exclusively on Amazon.in starting at 2 p.m. for registered buyers only.

Registrations for the upcoming flash sale are open for the Rs. 13,499-worth ZUK Z1, and will close on Tuesday midnight. The flash sale happens every Thursday and buyers have a very small window to complete the purchase due to the limited availability of the handset and high demand.

Lenovo did not reveal how many units of the ZUK Z1 will be available next Thursday, but it goes without saying that there will be limited handsets up for grabs. The company is likely to continue the flash sale model until it has sufficient stock, and only later will it make the handset available in open sales.

Lenovo launched ZUK Z1 in India on May 10 and the first sale for the handset was held on May 19. The company said it sold 25,000 units on its first day, but had received a total of 3 lakh registrations in the first two weeks. The demand for the ZUK Z1 is justified as it offers premium specifications at the cost of a budget device and outmatches rivals such as Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, Meizu M3 Note, LeEco Le 1s and others.

For those who are really keen to make the purchase in the next ZUK Z1 flash sale, we have a few tips and tricks that can go a long way.
