Uber will deliver Xiaomi’s Mi Note to your doorstep in Malaysia and Singapore on July 27th

Xiaomi and Uber aren’t two names you would automatically think of when it comes to a partnership, but here we have the two companies joining forces in Singapore and Malaysia to deliver the soon-to-be-launched Mi Note smartphone to customers in the two countries.

The Mi Note smartphone is officially launched on July 28th, but if you live in Singapore or Malaysia, you can order the handset directly from the Uber app to be delivered to your door. This special delivery service will only be available the day before the official launch, July 27th. It isn’t much of a head start, but it should prove more convenient than going to the retail shop to buy one the next day. Once ordered, you’ll be able to track your delivery via the Uber app. Orders will be charged to the credit card associated with your Uber account.

You may be asking why Uber has partnered up with Xiaomi for this and the answer is pretty straightforward. Uber is keen for its vast driver network to also deliver packages, thus maximizing profit because neither Uber nor its drivers earn money when not in use.
