Senior Mi fans complain that Redmi K40 is hard to get, Lei Jun: Free F code

Since the Redmi K40 series went on sale, it has been snapped up by many consumers for its extremely competitive price of 1,999 yuan and its top-notch configuration. Each round of sales is almost sold out in seconds.

Recently, a senior Mi fan left a message under the Douyin account of Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun, saying that his whole family is using Xiaomi phones and they have bought nearly 20 Xiaomi phones. Now he wants to replace a K40 for his daughter, but even with the help of his family and friends, he still hasn't gotten one.

After seeing the "complaint" from this veteran Mi fan, Lei Jun replied that he would give the Mi fan an F code.

Lei Jun's move attracted many netizens to like it, and they all expressed their desire for the F code. In response, some netizens said that they could ask for the F code in this way, and they learned something new. So what exactly is the F code, and why did so many Mi fans come to "ask for the code".

It is understood that the Xiaomi mobile phone F code is derived from the word "Frined", which is the priority purchase right provided by Xiaomi to Xiaomi core users and netizens who have made contributions to Xiaomi. Consumers can use the Xiaomi mobile phone F code to directly purchase Xiaomi mobile phones without waiting.

Due to the global chip shortage and consumers' rush to buy, the Redmi K40 series is in short supply.

Lu Weibing, President of Xiaomi Group China and General Manager of Redmi Brand, said that the Redmi K40 series is already in production and will announce the battle report at the right time. Everyone can compare the stocking quantity at that time, which may be an order of magnitude difference. It is reported that the Redmi K40 series includes two configurations, K40 and K40 Pro, with starting prices of 1999 yuan and 2799 yuan respectively.
