Huawei has officially launched its music streaming service Huawei Music in Europe. The service is fully licensed by Universal, Sony and Warner, with over 50 million tracks and 1.2m albums in its library.
Huawei Music has long been available in China, while in March 2018 plans were announced for a launch in South Africa. According to Huawei, the music app was already “being used by 160 million people” worldwide before arriving in Europe.
Huawei Music is now officially available across 16 European countries, including the UK, Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Sweden and France and Huawei says that it plans to gradually expand the service to remaining countries across Europe in the coming months.
Jervis Su, Vice President of Mobile Services, Huawei Consumer Business Group, said:
“We have made Huawei Music free for 3 months for new subscribers in the hope it will bring some joy at this time.
“Huawei Music is [just] one of the mobile services we are rapidly building to offer the first real alternative to smartphone users in ten years.”
The service in Europe offers personalized playlists and daily recommendations, as well as interesting features such as a ‘Party Mode’ which allows users to connect Huawei smartphones to play the same song simultaneously.
There’s also a built-in Huawei Listen 3D equalizer, so users can experience virtual surround sound through their earphones.
Huawei Music is available in the AppGallery and is pre-installed on Huawei and HONOR devices but can also be downloaded on smartphones from other manufacturers.
Huawei Music is available in Europe for a monthly subscription of €9.99 – with the first three months free for those who subscribe before April 26.
