CloudFone
Hey, dahlings, check this out, there is a new mobile phone in the market and it’s CloudFone, which launched its Thrill 430x unit at a dazzling bash held at Prive Luxury Club in Taguig, dahlings.
“As a mobile-phone brand that prides itself on innovation, product development, brand building, operational efficiency and excellence, we at CloudFone see all of these embodied in the Thrill 430x,” said Eric Yu, president of PhoneCo Mobile Technologies, Inc., during the event.
CloudFone’s brand ambassador, model and actor Xian Lim, said that with the Thrill 430x, he can stay connected with his fans while juggling his many projects. He can also have extended use of his phone far longer than with other smartphones.
CloudFone marketing manager Celine Lopez welcomed Xian onstage. She said that “the Thrill 430x will let you use your phone more than just for calling and texting. By increasing its battery life, CloudFone encourages you to tinker with your apps, play more games, and go on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram for as long as you want.”
Now, palangga, that’s definitely a must to have.
Eric Yu, president of PhoneCo Mobile Technologies Inc., said, “The CloudFone Thrill 430x is our humble attempt to enable Filipino consumers to diversify and broaden their lifestyles beyond what they’ve been accustomed to in the past.”
