HTC sold 50,000 Desire 816 device in 10 minutes

The HTC Desire 816 phablet has been warmly received in China where over a million people registered their interest to buy one. Those registrations are slowly turning into actual sales slowly, because there were only 50,000 units available and they flew off the shelves in 10 minutes.

This demand seems to have surprised both HTC and the online retailer handling the sales as people have reported issues ordering a Desire 816.
