CHINA'S largest e-commerce group Alibaba yesterday launched six new mobile phone models that runs on the Aliyun system as it joined other Internet giants to tap growing demand for smartphones.
Alibaba's cloud computing unit will allocate 1 billion yuan (US$1,613 million) of subsidies this year for handset makers and software developers to boost its market position and deepen collaboration. Alibaba will also share paid software income and digital content sales with handset makers.
"The key to the future of smartphones lies in the ability of cloud computing capacity and we're willing to cooperate with collaborators to build a healthy industry environment," said chief data officer Lu Zhaoxi, who is also Alibaba Group's designated CEO.
The six new mobile phone models will be made by five domestic handset makers, including Amoi Technology and Konka. Last July, Alibaba joined hands with K-touch and launched its first smartphone model.
Baidu, China's largest search engine, last year also offered its system "Baidu Cloud Mobile Platform" to handset makers including Dell and Changhong to consolidate its position in the mobile Internet sector.
