Amidst tough competition from local brands, Cloudfone managed to enter the list to keep pace with with global brands Samsung, Oppo and Vivo, as well as the current top local brand, Cherry Mobile.

According to Cloudfone, IDC's results validate that local brands can, through innovation and consumer understanding, compete against international giants with deep marketing pockets.

Cloudfone successfully entered the list by providing very high quality smartphones for the low price. The company brought advanced camera features, good designs and quality device performance to their latest products which includes the Thrill Metal series, Excite Prime series, and Next series.

We have always believed that Filipinos are discerning of real value. That is the driving force behind our motivation to offer premium features and high quality without the hefty price tag usually associated with high-end smartphones, says CellPrime CEO Eric Yu.

Aside from IDC's report, GFK report also shows that Cloudfone recorded a 39-percent revenue growth and a 21-percent market share (in their target price band) from January to April 2017 as compared to the same period last year.

Cloudfone's goal is to be the top local brand in 3 years' time

These 3rd party reports show we are on track in our aim to make Cloudfone the leading local mobile-phone brand in the Philippines in 3 years’ time. We are inspired to use this momentum to positively disrupt the market with our new phone line-up with superior features comparable to other brands, delivering quality and durability without breaking the bank, says Mr. Yu. 

This 2017, the company has shifted into making more camera-focused devices with advanced camera software and features for a local brand. That's aside from the company's usual goal of giving customers the best bang for their hard-earned money.

Can they do it?

Let's see!
