MTN smart feature phone finally available in SA for R249 (US$17.50) - A lightweight OS but it runs the popular messaging apps and has Internet access

“We are living in a country where affordability of smart devices is one of the biggest barriers to Internet access. By introducing this cutting-edge device at such an affordable price, MTN will help its customers, particularly students, small businesses and others that may have avoided traditional smartphones due to the cost, to become part of the information society at an accessible price,” says Jacqui O’Sullivan, executive for corporate affairs at MTN South Africa.

The MTN Smart S device, powered by KaiOS, is Internet-capable and allows users to access popular apps such as WhatsApp, Facebook, YouTube and Google Assistant. It has a front and back camera, dual SIM, MicroSD slot (up to 32GB) and its battery promises to last for three to five days. It is Bluetooth, WiFi and GPS capable and has FM radio.

The phone already launched in Nigeria, Uganda and Rwanda last month.
