Want a new Xiaomi phone? In Singapore, Uber will deliver it to your door

Picture the following situation: You're living in Singapore or Malaysia, and you really want a Xiaomi phone, but walking into a store and buying one is just too plebeian for you? Lucky for you, on one day — July 27 — you can have a Xiaomi Mi Note delivered to your door via an Uber vehicle

The unusual promotion was announced by Xiaomi Vice President of International Hugo Barra on Facebook Thursday, who called it a "first-of-its-kind collaboration between two of the most innovative tech startups in the world."
