Hands-on with the new LoopPhone from Rain

Rain's new LoopPhone made a good first impression during our first hands-on experience with the device after we bought one of the operator's new mobile packages for a test.

The LoopPhone, developed by LoopDesignLab (LoopDL), is a new Android smartphone available exclusively on the Rain network in South Africa.

Phone is not bad at all, camera looks great. Would liked to see more photos regarding the interface on the phone as well. The packages is a bit steep for me. But wouldn't mind.

Lol no thanks. For effectively only R300 more you can get a much better deal.

Even the Galaxy S25FE went for R8.5k during Prime day.

The real question is whether the cup is half-full or half-empty.

hopefully the signal isnt as $h1tty as it sometimes is,
have a secondary sim or theirs and it can be hit and miss many times.

The issue isn't with the phone though it looks a bit like an ugly doorstop. The real problem is with their packages. Rain hasn't been relevant since they stopped their R250 uncapped.

The problem with this deal is RAIN.

 

[Dolby]

Lol no thanks.

“Our shareholders and partners also didn’t sign up for Rain Africa to become a crazy startup. That’s not our mandate,” Leigh said.


“There’s no business case to say, ‘Let’s go make some drones.’ Even though I think it’d be quite fun, it’s not our business as Rain South Africa.”

These people are so delusional and clearly haven't had to suffer with the horrible sign-up / cancelling process. Lets not bring up the terribleness that is GeForce Now. Can't even get the basics right and make stupid statements like they are a force in the world LOL
