Xiaomi started the flash sale trend in India to balance demand and supply for its budget premium smartphones, and it continues to remain a popular strategy for other OEMs as well. This year's Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 was well received by customers and critics, creating an overwhelming demand for the budget smartphone.

To balance out the demand and supply, Xiaomi stuck to selling the Redmi Note 4 in periodic flash sales even months after its release in January. The handset became so popular that it broke all the records to become the number one selling smartphone in Q1 and Q2 in India. The company said it sold 5 million units in just six months.

But it looks like Xiaomi has either found a way to fulfil the consumers' demand or the Redmi Note 4 has reached its peak of success. Xiaomi's VP and India MD Manu Kumar Jain on Wednesday announced that the Redmi Note 4 will no longer be available in limited quantities.

Customers who've long waited for a chance to purchase the Redmi Note 4 can finally do so by simply logging into Mi.com or Flipkart. No more waiting for a particular day of the week and hour of the day to buy the Redmi Note 4 in India.

Jain also made a point to note that the Redmi Note 4 comes with Android 7.0 Nougat, which was recently rolled out with MIUI 8.5, and July Android security patch. Users still have to wait for the MIUI 9 update in India.
