Xiaomi has stayed mum on the number of devices sold at the sale but it has officially announced that a business of 200CR+ happened in the first five minutes of the sales. Now if we put the prices of Pocophones in perspective, it means that at least 68,000 Pocophones were ordered in 5 minutes. If the buying trend was tilted towards the cheapest model this would mean that Xiaomi sold even more than 68,000 smartphones.
