MUMBAI: Prime Video, India’s most loved entertainment hub has launched Prime Video Mobile Edition at Rs599 per year. This single-user, mobile-only video annual plan offers everyone access to high-quality entertainment exclusively on their mobile devices, and will now be available to all customers in India.

Created especially for a mobile-first country like India, Prime Video Mobile Edition is a major step towards making premium entertainment across languages as ubiquitous as smartphones in the country. With this move, Prime Video is expanding the accessibility of Prime Video Mobile Edition, which launched last year as a telco-partnered product in collaboration with Bharti Airtel (“Airtel”).
Prime Video Mobile Edition provides Standard Definition (SD) quality streaming to customers, giving them a chance to explore and watch Prime Video’s rich catalogue of Indian and international movies, Amazon Originals, LIVE cricket including the keenly-awaited upcoming India v/s New Zealand Men’s cricket series in November 2022, and much more, on their mobile devices, all for Rs599 per year. Customers can continue to enjoy all Prime Video features such as X-ray powered by IMDb, and downloads for offline viewing with Prime Video Mobile Edition.
