Redmi 9 Power sale in India begins at 12 pm IST on December 29th on Amazon. Moreover, the device will also be available through Mi Home stores and other offline channels.
Here are some tips to help you in confirming your buy:
- Instead of relying on Amazon’s notification, set a personal reminder on your phone that alerts you 10 minutes before the next sale is about to begin.
- Ensure that your delivery address and payment details are already saved on Amazon so you don’t have to spend time looking for these when the sale is on.
- Your internet connection should be stable and reliable. If you get inconsistent internet in your area, then have someone’s mobile data and hotspot on so you change connections instantly without waiting.
- Get a couple of your friends to also get online and try buying the phone. More people increases your chances of landing a phone. And whoever gets it, you can pay them and get the phone from them.
- Lastly, don’t worry too much if you’re unable to secure the device at the sale. Ultimately the phone will be available to everyone, and then you can buy it peacefully without any rush.
