Wow, that was quick
Alctale’s Flash Plus is shaping up to be sleeper hit this year, because of its excellent specs and more importantly, it’s killer price tag. Well, it seems that everybody wants a piece of the Flash Plus, as a source within Lazada has confirmed that the Flash Plus managed to sell out “within minutes” of it going online, beating expectations.

While Lazada hasn’t confirmed just how fast the phone went as of press time, one estimate put the time anywhere around 10 to 15 minutes.
Interestingly enough, Xiaomi’s previous offerings that went up in Lazada almost a year ago failed to gain the same momentum as the Flash Plus in terms of time, and managed to sell out in around an hour.
