"Ordering a Mi Note follows the exact same process as calling for an Uber - you simply open the Uber app, use the slider at the bottom to select 'Xiaomi' (which shows Xiaomi-orange colored Uber cars on the map equipped to deliver the new smartphone), and hit request," Xiaomi international chief Hugo Barra said in a post on Facebook.
"Payment will be charged directly to the credit card tied to your Uber account and a Mi Note will be delivered to you within a few minutes. Pretty cool, right?"
