Amazon Prime Video has just got a new annual plan for users in India. It is called Mobile Edition which means that it is a mobile-specific only plan. Amazon had announced the same plan last year but it is billed Rs 89 on monthly basis. The new plan is billed annually. The mobile edition pack will compete against the likes of similar mobile subscription plans offered by competitors like Disney+ Hotstar and Netflix. 

The Amazon Prime Mobile Edition plan sits alongside the standard version’s monthly, quarterly, and annual subscription options that have been available for consumers in India. Similar to Disney+ Hostar, Amazon also offers mobile plans as bundled options with telecom recharge packs. 

The mobile-only subscription of Amazon Prime Video is priced at Rs 599 per year compared to the standard annual plan of Rs 1,499. The mobile pack continues to offer access to Amazon originals, live cricket, and international movies. Additionally,  subscribers get X-rays powered by IMDB and the ability to download for offline viewing.

However, the Amazon Prime Video Mobile Edition also offers fewer benefits compared to the standard membership. Since the new plan is a mobile-only subscription, only one user can access it at a time. There’s no option for multi-user profiles and streaming across devices in UHD. Subscribers also don’t get access to fast delivery options and ad-free music with Prime Music. The video streaming quality is also limited to 480p compared to 4K on standard version. 

Prime Video International Vice President said in a statement “We are confident that the new Prime Video Mobile Edition annual plan will further help accelerate the growth of our India business and give an even larger customer base access to the high-quality content on the service. With this launch we look forward to entertaining every Indian with our popular on-demand entertainment content and live sports.”
