MTN to launch R300 Android-powered smartphone

MTN has announced that it will launch a budget Android smartphone across its African markets in the second half of 2019.

Speaking at the company's interim results presentation, MTN group CEO Rob Shuter said the device would be priced at $20 (R300) and would run the Android Go operating system.

Great almost bought a Vodacom Smart Kicka 4. Will wait for this rather.

I'm calling it. 3.5 inch screen, 4GB internal Memory, 512GB Ram and Mediatek SoC.

The R249 phone with KaiOS is probably not selling that well.

Hopefully they leave the bloatware.

But does it come with a 3.5mm headphone jack?
