Xiaomi Teams Up With Uber For Phone Delivery Service

Xiaomi is a smartphone company while Uber is in the business of transporting people from different locations. Customers in Singapore and Malaysia can now order a Michigan Note smartphone from Chinese electronics company Xiaomi and have it delivered courtesy of Uber.

According to an announcement on Far EasTone’s website, the Michigan Note will be available on July 28 for free if consumers subscribe to a monthly data plan of NT$1,799 (US$57.60) on a two-year contract. This handset sports a 5.7-inch 1080p display, 3GB of RAM and is powered by the Snapdragon 801 SoC. If you’d like to know more about the device, follow this link. Well, pretty much the same way as the regular Uber calling process works.

A user would have to open the Uber app and use a slider at the bottom of the screen to select “Xiaomi”. “Payment will be charged directly to the credit card tied to a rider’s Uber account and a Michigan Note will be delivered to the user within a few minutes”.

Customers in those countries will be able to order a Michigan Note smartphone in the same way they hail a ride.

Uber has gotten a lot of press lately due to private investors sinking in a load of money into them assuming they can turn Uber into one of the largest delivery and transportation services in the world.

The partnership will also be expanded to Malaysia as well, but only in the capital city of Kuala Lumpur. “Partnering with Uber for a pre-launch flash sale means Michigan fans can get their hands on the new Michigan Note faster than ever before, and in an innovative and convenient way”.
