No.. I don't think that practice is allowed in SA..

No Wi-Fi, don't want it for free ...

Why so hard to find 1Gb ram budget phones...

Cos RAM is expensive...

I don't recall the article explicitly stating that it doesn't have wifi. Did the Steppa 1 have wifi?

it did have wifi , the vodafone branded phones are advertised without wifi , but they have wifi.

 

[elf_lord_ZC5]

Specs supplied on article lack Wi-Fi ... , might be an oversight - no Wi-Fi, not interested, not with the prohibitively high cost of 3G data ...

Does not say it has no Wi-Fi, nor does it say that any Wi-Fi ability is available.

No Wi-Fi then they can keep it.

Where does it say that there is no Wi-Fi? Of course these devices would come with Wi-Fi. Who would launch a device in this day and age without Wi-Fi??

Assumption, is the mother of all fook-ups ...

Of course the thing should have WiFi. I mean duh!

Question is how much is it.

It should have Wi-Fi - they should have stated whether it supports a/b/g/n Wi-Fi or not they did not ... , according to the post, it will cost R999.00

No, research the Snapdragon 200 chipset, it supports Wi-Fi.....https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/processors/200

With Operators launching Wi-Fi offload this feature would be a default.

If it does not have Wi-Fi, it will not be the first device, to not support/implement a feature, that exists on the underlying hardware - there have been numerous example down the years ...

 

[Lament]

Of course it will have Wifi, Why will they give the Steppa 1 Wifi, but not the more recent Steppa 2?

 

[cozinsky]

Obviously it has WIFI. Not a bad price considering what you get.

This is the Steppa Tablet, as well as the Steppa 2 ... , anything is possible ... , even if certain things might not be likely ...

 

[Totempole]

Based on specs, I predict that this phone will cost around R999. Let's see if I'm right.

Vodafone has a 4" phone with a very similar spec for R900 ... MTN will HAVE to beat that price
