Xiaomi and Uber have partnered up to offer on-demand delivery of the recently released Xiaomi Mi Note smartphone. Priced at RM1549 the Mi Note brings a 5.7-inch 2.5D glass covered display to the table with a 13MP rear camera packing in optical image stabilization and 4K video recording. This Xiaomi - Uber collaboration will be available on 27 July 2015 via the Uber app. The process is just like ordering a ride from Uber, users simply open the Uber app, use the slider at the bottom of the screen to select "Xiaomi" (which shows Xiaomi-orange colored Uber cars on the map equipped to deliver the new smartphone), and hit request. Payment will be charged directly to the credit card tied to a rider's Uber account and a Mi Note will be delivered to the user within a few minutes. This will let you not only get the Xiaomi Mi Note a day earlier than it's online release, but will also deliver you the Mi Note with as little fuss as possible. Check out what Xiaomi and Uber had to say about it:
“We’re thrilled to bring the amazing Mi Note to consumers across Singapore and Kuala Lumpur through this pioneering partnership with Xiaomi. The power of the on-demand economy is transforming the consumer experience and we are excited to take this to another level in Southeast Asia.” Mike Brown, Regional General Manager, Southeast Asia & Australia, New Zealand, Uber.
“We are truly excited to bring Mi Note, Xiaomi’s most beautifully designed flagship, to Singapore and Malaysia. Partnering with Uber for a pre-launch flash sale means Mi fans can get their hands on the new Mi Note faster than ever before, and in an innovative and convenient way.” Steve Vickers, General Manager, Xiaomi Southeast Asia
