In a deal seeing the popular video-on-demand service land on the device manufacturer’s new video platform, SPI/FilmBox and Huawei have inked a new agreement that allows FilmBox On Demand content to be featured in Huawei’s new mobile video platform in 23 countries.
Huawei Video will now be available to more countries together with its new mobile flagship P40 series, and will allow users to access the FilmBox On Demand VOD content easily and efficiently say the two companies. Huawei Video has integrated a range of services from multiple international and European entertainment providers, to offer a library housed all in one place and making them natively pre-installed in the app. Premium content can be enjoyed via subscription, rental or for some news, factual and entertainment content, for free.
Through the collaboration with SPI, which covers countries including the UK, Germany, France, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Poland, Turkey and Russia, Huawei smart device users will be able to access specially-curated and localised SPI/ FilmBox movie titles, ranging from Hollywood blockbusters, award-winning world cinema films and arthouse classics.
Other VOD content accessible to users through this collaboration includes TV series, documentaries, lifestyle programming, adrenaline sports entertainment, esports and mixed-martial arts tournaments.
“We are very excited to bring the rich and curated catalogue of FilmBox On Demand to many countries across the globe through Huawei’s new VOD service Huawei Video, available on Huawei mobile devices that offer premium viewing and sound experience,” commented Berkin Ecevit, sales and business development director at SPI International.
“We’re pleased to offer our Huawei Video service so people across Europe can easily explore the thousands of videos and movies available from our partners, anywhere and anytime,” added Jervis Su, vice president of mobile services, Huawei consumer business group.
