Realme pokes fun at Xiaomi for Redmi Note 10 sale glitch, says it has enough stock of Realme 8 series

The Redmi Note 10 sale turned out to be a disaster for Xiaomi before they could fix it.

It was an unfortunate event for Xiaomi today when the Amazon India website crashed right when the brand-new Redmi Note 10 was about to go on sale for the first time. People, queued up in the virtual line, were furious over this mishap that was caused because “many many million Mi Fans” rushed to get themselves a unit. Although Xiaomi India’s Manu Kumar Jain apologised for the incident and promised a fix, it was a welcome opportunity for Realme. Realme India boss Madhav Sheth took a potshot at Xiaomi saying “We [Realme] always come prepared.” In a tweet, Sheth poked fun at Xiaomi’s mismanagement of the Redmi Note 10 sale. He said, “#realme is well-equipped to meet #realmeFans' demands. High or low-priced, we have enough stock of all variants of the upcoming #realme8series.” Sheth killed two birds with one stone here. He took a jibe at Xiaomi -- its biggest rival in India thanks to the aggressive nature they both share, and, at the same time, promoted the sales for the upcoming Realme 8 series, which is due for launch on March 24. Realme kicked off the Infinity Sale for Realme 8 series where customers get to pre-book the phone and avail benefits. The Redmi Note 10 sale turned out to be a disaster for Xiaomi before they could fix it. A glitch rendered the page meant for allowing customers to buy the phone unresponsive. Jain tweeted an apology for this incident a few moments later. “Today's sales of #RedmiNote10: we are seeing unprecedented traffic! Many many million Mi Fans came to buy the phone. Hence website / faced faced some issues. Please give us few mins. We're working to resolve it asap. Thank you for patience,” he tweeted.
