A smartphone with a low battery threatens users with being disconnected with the rest of the world but Corona set out to turn the experience of disconnecting into a more enjoyable one with Corona Recharge. This unconventional beer fridge is one that only opens when a phone's battery is running low. To make the most of the experience, phone users who see that their device is below 10% battery life can plug their phone in so that the doors of the Corona fridge will open up and treat them to the beer waiting inside.
The fridge supplies not just the beer but also a bottle opener so that every part of the experience is frustration-free and frictionless.
