As the mobile phone market continues to develop, Redmi mobile phones have become the first choice for many friends when switching phones due to their outstanding cost performance.
Looking back to the time when Redmi was first launched, it was sold out almost instantly every time it went on sale. If you want to buy one, you really have to rely on "competition".
Many people have had this experience. They set the alarm clock and called friends to help. However, when the page opened, it showed a helpless situation that it was out of stock.
In fact, although the competition to buy a Redmi mobile phone requires hand speed, the probability of success can be greatly improved by doing relevant homework in advance and mastering some practical tips.
Today, I would like to sort out the rush buying experience that we have accumulated over the years, starting from the selection of browsers, to the final payment steps, and explaining them step by step. I hope it can bring some help to you who are preparing to participate in the rush buying.
Choose the right browser and be prepared in advance
The first step in panic buying is actually choosing the right tools.
Many experienced netizens can notice that there are significant differences in refresh speed and stability between different browsers.
Based on everyone's feedback, Google Chrome shows a relatively stable situation, its page loading speed is fast, and it is not prone to lags; Firefox browser also shows a relatively stable situation, the browser's pages load quickly, and it is not prone to lags.
In some high-concurrency rush-buying scenarios, IE browser is prone to page misalignment or slow loading, so it is best to avoid it.
First determine the browser, and then remember to clear the cache and cookies in advance so that the browser can run in a relatively clean state.
Also, never wait until the last minute to log in.
It is suggested that you should open the Xiaomi official website at least half an hour in advance, log in to your account, and check whether the default delivery address is accurate and whether the payment method is bound.
These may seem like trivial preparations, but when it comes to the actual rush to buy, every second is particularly critical.
Keep an eye on the sales time and ignore accessories.
Generally, the rush sale time for Redmi phones is scheduled at 10 a.m., but the specific date must be based on the announcement on Xiaomi's official website or official mall.
Before the event starts, a countdown button will appear on the page.
There is a tiny detail here that many novices can easily overlook. When the countdown is over and the "Buy Now" button is displayed when the page refreshes, be sure not to pay attention to the recommended accessory packages or add-on purchase options at the bottom of the page.
Some friends will hesitate for a moment when they see that it is more cost-effective to buy in combination, or they will just click in and choose. After just a few seconds of delay, the mobile phone may have been robbed.
The correct approach is to just focus on the "Buy Now" button, click it as soon as the time is up, and go directly to the mobile phone purchase page.
After the order is successfully submitted and the quota is locked, it is simply too late to slowly go back and select accessories such as films, protective cases, or chargers.
Calibrate dual window time, do not refresh at the last moment
Many veterans of the rush sale will open two browser windows at the same time, both staying on the rush sale page.
There are advantages to this, that is, if in a certain situation, one window becomes stuck, or its refresh speed becomes slow, then the other window can be used as a backup.
However, during the countdown period, there is a very critical point, which is to pay attention to whether the countdowns displayed in the two windows are consistent.
If you notice that the time of the two windows differs by one or two seconds, you can manually refresh it to synchronize them.
However, when there are only two or three minutes left in the countdown, you should try not to refresh the page again.
Repeated refresh operations are not only likely to cause traffic restrictions set by the website, but also easily cause the page to become sluggish during loading.
At this time, you should stabilize your mentality, hover the mouse cursor where the "Buy Now" button will appear, and then wait quietly, that's it.
Remember, in those last few minutes, keeping your page stable is more important than anything else.
Click quickly and prepare the verification code in advance
When the countdown reaches zero, the moment the words "Buy Now" start to light up, click on them as quickly as possible.
If you successfully jump to the mobile phone purchase page, congratulations, you are more than half successful.
Then, follow the prompts on the page to quickly select the body color you want, then quickly select the memory size you want, and then quickly select the storage capacity you need.
It's best to think about these options clearly before buying, and don't hesitate on the spot.
After selecting, click "Buy Now" and the system will pop up a Verification code input box .
Generally speaking, this verification code is the string of numbers sent by Xiaomi when you make a reservation. Therefore, the text message or notification of a successful reservation must be found in advance and placed in a place that is convenient for copying and pasting.
Enter the verification code, click Confirm and Submit, and the order will be generated.
Instant payment is the last step. Generally, the system will allow about half an hour for payment. However, in order to avoid the order being automatically canceled, it is recommended to complete the payment operation immediately.
After the payment is successful, just wait to receive the goods.
Summarize
The key to buying a Redmi phone is adequate preparation and quick response.
If you choose Google Chrome or Firefox, log in to your account in advance, ignore the accessory link, calibrate the dual-window time, do not refresh at the last moment, and increase your hand speed, the success rate will be much higher.
Of course, you have to calm down. After all, there are many people rushing to buy. It is normal not to get it once. You can pay attention to the official launch time of the next round of sales, or try the official flagship store of the e-commerce platform.
I hope the above experience can help you successfully grab your favorite Redmi phone.
