Quibi: What is Quibi?
Quibi stands for "Quick Bite". The head of the new streaming project is Jeffrey Katzenberg, who led Walt Disney Pictures and later founded DreamWorks. He doesn't consider other streaming services [like Netflix, Disney +, or Amazon Prime Video] to be competitive products, because while most streaming media is competing for time on your TV, Quibi has only one goal: your phone.
Quibi is the ideal streaming service for commuters, as the series' episodes and episodes will last no more than 10 minutes. From Quibi's perspective, the series is a continuous movie, so 10 episodes of 10 minutes each make up a 100 minute movie.
Quibi not only made a new breakthrough in production time, but the image format was also designed to adapt to the behavior of young audiences. You can hold your phone horizontally or vertically as you would normally shoot a video. This technology developed specifically for Quibi is called "Turnstyle". All works are taken in two image formats, and the video stream automatically adapts when you turn on your phone. As a result, the amount of data used in the stream has increased by 20%, because your currently unused image format is still running in compressed form in the background for fast conversions.
Quibi: This is the start date of the streaming service
Quibi starts in the United States April 6, 2020. For Germany and the rest of the world, there is still no release date. Since Quibi only offers its own work like Apple TV +, international delays should not be a matter of rights. Instead, after the U.S. launch, you will fix bugs and monitor user behavior before Quibi is released.
Quibi: These are the prices
Quibi costs $ 4.99 per month, but the plan includes advertising. It's unclear whether the consequences of the ads will be interrupted or if the ads were being played before the program. If you don't want to advertise at all, you need to pay $ 7.99 per month. It offers a 7-day trial period, is currently available in the US for registration on the Quibi website, and is free for 90 days immediately after the streaming service appears.
Quibi: Series and shows offered
Quibi presents you with several interesting series and shows them with well-known casts from the beginning. Quibi publishes new content every day, but also relies on the news of the previous night or late night program compilation to achieve the 3 hours of new content that Jeffrey Katzenberg promises every day. You can find an overview of Quibi content at the beginning of the overview.

Quibi relies on Starpower and has announced collaborations with celebrities such as Chrissy Teigen, Zac Efron, Steven Spielberg and Jennifer Lopez. They will also continue to experiment with cornering techniques to differentiate themselves from the competition and provide interactive production wherever possible. However, in the end, it can be expected that Quibi will only really take shape after the streaming service is launched and it is clear how viewers will receive the offer.
