As of now, Xiaomi has not revealed how many units of the Mi 4 will be going on sale on Tuesday. Flipkart's Mi page notes it will limit orders to one phone per registered email ID per sale. Registrations for the second flash sale of the Mi 4 will end Monday midnight.
Priced at Rs. 19,999, the first flash sale of the Mi 4 saw 25,000 units going out of stock in 15 seconds. Xiaomi's India Head Manu Kumar Jain in a tweet last week confirmed that Flipkart received 350,000 registrations for the first flash sale of the Xiaomi Mi 4.

Going the standards Xiaomi has set with sales of other smartphones - such as Xiaomi Mi 3, Xiaomi Redmi 1S, Xiaomi Redmi Note, and Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G - getting over in less than 5 seconds, the first flash sale of the Xiaomi Mi 4 (Review | Pictures) was not as impressive. One of the possible reasons for the consumer response to the first flash sale of the Mi 4 might be the announcement about the price and availability of the 64GB variant of the Xiaomi Mi 4 smartphone in India, apart from of course, the relatively high price of the handset compared to other Xiaomi offerings.
The 64GB variant has been priced at Rs. 4,000 more than its 16GB counterpart, at Rs. 23,999. The Xiaomi Mi 4 64GB model will be going on sale starting February 24, which also happens to be a Tuesday - the traditional day for Xiaomi flash sales in India.
