The latest proof of it came today when its new line of selfie phones- Redmi Y1 and Redmi Y1 Lite went on sale and made whopping sales within 3 minutes. In a tweet, the company later disclosed that it sold 150K units in the said period but hasn’t posted when the phones will be again available.

The phones, launched earlier this month on 2 November, were touted as the first selfie phone from the company. Packing an impressive 16MP front-camera and running on new MIUI 9, Redmi Y1 has received fairly good reviews and fits perfectly in the category of ‘value for money.’.
