I'm actually more worried about warranty coverage. Is there will be one when buying from this machine?

    Anonymous, 14 May 2019Service center requires bill and the machine can only print... moreSorry but as I know, service centers require the warranty card and the official receipt as proofs of the purchase to be used in validating the warranty coverage.

      I can already see one in my office campus. This is really cool from Xiaomi.

        NipponFan, 13 May 2019Even copying this from Japan. Disgusting The vending machine's origin is London, England.

        Vending machines are nothing new.
        Vending machines for tech, including phones, are also not breaking news.

        Both Sony and Motorola used the same type of vending machine, ooops, "robotic store" back in the day. Made by Zoom Systems

        Does that really mean in your opinion that no else than the first who started using such a thing can now also start using to sell their devices through vending machines?

        Silly! :-)

          travstr, 13 May 2019you can clearly see that the vending machine has a shelf at... moreAnd that someone will be caught by the securities right after that hit.

            Great. A free drop test from vending machine. Lol. No refund. Level of vandalisme will be very high as well. If the box stuck in there even after payment people gonna start shaking and kicking the machine. Xiaomi really desperate to sell them. Maybe it's Xiaomi strategy to let as many people activate their Xiaomi phone even the stolen one. Hahaha. This way they can announce millions and millions of Xiaomi phones have been activated in India.

                Dominique, 14 May 2019Are there no security in the malls, airports and train stations?I'll give you the truth. There is sufficient security at airports and malls so its impossible to steal this machine from there.
                The train station also has security, but there are many stations in India that may have blind spots and rarely, they don't even have security...

                Don't listen to this guy, he's actually making a very famous Indian joke.
                Rarely, ATM's get stolen by thieves and this comes in newspaper and we all laugh. That's it.

                  Anonymous, 13 May 2019Whole machine will be theft in truck.Are there no security in the malls, airports and train stations?

                    GaganAhuja, 13 May 2019How would you return it? If defective?Is there no Xiaomi service center to handle the complaint?

                          NipponFan, 13 May 2019Even copying this from Japan. Disgusting I know right we should never adopt any ideas from any other country how disgusting it is to copy it sicks my stomach

                            "The machine will get stolen" blah blah, How ignorant people commenting the same thing as if they haven't use any cola dispensing machine or toys dispensing machines in India. No company if fool enough to llace these expensive things on an open road where the chances of damage is 100% despite any particular country. They will get placed inside metro stations and shopping malls, airports etc. where the security is already top notch.

                                      24/7 shopping for even less price. Xiaomi price attack lvl +1. And premium brands still ~60% behind in price?

                                        How would you return it? If defective?
