    CloudFone, Spotify create industry-leading (breakthrough) partnership

    CloudFone is known for its “Android for All” advocacy and other pioneering efforts, continuously bringing innovations, particularly in terms of products developed. Now, CloudFone does another historic “first” in the industry as it recently partnered with world’s most popular music streaming service Spotify, giving you instant access to millions of songs and expertly-curated playlists.

    CloudFone, in partnership with Spotify, aspires to provide more Filipinos with a seamless and hassle-free digital music experience, essentially part of CloudFone’s mantra of empowering lifestyles. CloudFone pays extra attention to the youth of today, to let them achieve more in their life and let them live their lives the way they want to live it, and to give them devices that provide great value for their money.

    Maverick innovator Eric Yu, Chief Executive Officer of CloudFone, was ecstatic. “This partnership with Spotify will definitely change the game by collaborating with industry leaders. This is the first time that Spotify partnered with a local brand, and we’re glad that it’s with CloudFone. We will continue to innovate and introduce trends and technologies that are within reach and will suit the needs of Filipino mobile phone users,” Yu said.

    To celebrate the partnership, the company introduced several CloudFone devices customized to enable users to enjoy the ultimate Spotify music experience. These devices will allow more music-loving Filipinos the opportunity to play and hear the soundtrack of their lives through seamless streaming courtesy of Spotify. So wherever they are or whatever they are doing—stuck in traffic, falling madly in love or simply having a good time—CloudFone and Spotify got them covered.

    The three new Spotify-edition flagship devices from CloudFone are the CloudFone Thrill 500x, CloudFone Thrill 500x+ and CloudPad 702q, all coming in with its own customized Spotify interface. Music playtime is extended since these devices come with longer battery life, plus storage space is expanded further so you can pack in more of your favorite music and play them to your hearts’ delight.

    To further sweeten the pot, CloudFone is also giving away free exclusive headphones and earphones specially made for Spotify. These are bundled in-box along with many other freebies that come with every unit purchase to make each user’s listening experience even more engaging and immersive.

    CloudFone will continue to introduce many “firsts” in the Philippines, and this collaboration with Spotify is just among them. Definitely, CloudFone will stay true to its “innovator” tag and exert more efforts to become a trail-blazing industry leader.
