For years, platforms such as Netflix, HBO, Disney Plus and many others have been teaching citizens how video stores have remained in the past, being today an obsolete business. Streaming video platforms have shown us that we can all watch series, movies, documentaries and all kinds of content from our home in a comfortable and relatively cheap way.
Despite this, all these platforms have followed the film industry standard with 90-minute films (to say an approximation) and series in classic format.Neither Netflix nor HBO have reinvented the genre, something Quibi intends to do, a new application designed for Late Millennials that offers a different format and another type of content. Quibi is the app that everyone talks about and they do it because it offers something new, fresh, and different from what we all know.
What's Quibi like? Why is it serious competition for Netflix and other platforms?
Quibi understands that the industry also has another type of consumer who is not seeing their needs met. It is true that people will continue to use Netflix or HBO to watch series and movies at home, but... What about mobile phones and fast content? In recent years, platforms like TikTok have shown that people need fast content on their mobiles to consume in their downtime
Young people (and many others) don't always have time to watch 40-minute series, and that's where Quibi steps in.The platform only has series or content with deliveries of 10 minutes or less that you can consume on your mobile. In fact, Quibi is a platform that you won't be able to see on the web or on your television, but only enjoy an application for Android (mobile phones and tablets) and iOS (iPhone and iPad) devices.
Another of its advantages is that its content is adapted to be viewed both horizontally and vertically, although in some content it will recommend use the horizontal format so you don't miss anything. You realize? The format is completely different and the type of content too. Quibi opens up a world of possibilities for both its users and producers, who will be able to produce mini series and other types of content that do not have a large platform where someone demands it.
Yes, we can watch mini series on different platforms, but this one is fully designed for this task. At Quibi you can find series, documentaries, news, sports and more It is a perfect platform for those quick moments when you want to consume quality content (even when You go to the bathroom, why deny it, if we all use our mobiles there).
Quibi is a payment platform, with two subscription modalities
The platform, being completely mobile, offers two different payment methods:
- 4, $99 per month, showing ads.
- 8, €99 per month, without any type of advertisement.
This is something that consumers have been demanding from Netflix, HBO and company for some time; a subscription alternative that allows you to save some money in exchange for seeing the odd adOther platforms like Movistar Plus, for example, do it in the only subscription it offers, so this option is not unreasonable at all. The application has already been launched in the United States this month but you can also try it from Spain.
You can enter Quibi and enjoy 90 days free before making your first payment What we would like to mention is that for now In Spain, you do not enjoy a subscription with ads, only the most expensive. You can pay with your Play Store account, card or any payment method. Right now the vast majority of the content is all in English ( although with Spanish sub titles) but if it gets some popularity we don't hesitate to see more content in our mother tongue soon.
Try Quibi now, download it on the Google Play Store or the App Store.
