Celebrating local manufacturing and digital empowerment in South Africa
At an illustrious event held at Langham’s in Fourways, Mobicel, a trailblazer in mobile technology, proudly unveiled its latest innovation, the IX Series of smartphones. The event, graced by prominent celebrities and leading influencers, was not just a showcase of Mobicel’s latest technological advancements but also a celebration of its commitment to innovation, affordability, and empowering the South African community.
The IX Series, led by the flagship IX Plus, is a testament to Mobicel’s dedication to providing high-quality, accessible technology. With a 50MP camera and premium design finishes, the IX Plus, alongside the IX Pro and the IX, ensures there’s a Mobicel device suited to every preference and budget. The IX Plus is available at R1 999, the IX Pro at R1 499, and the IX at an incredibly accessible R999, embodying Mobicel’s mission to make advanced technology available to all.
During the event, Mobicel also took the opportunity to spotlight its state-of-the-art local production facility in Johannesburg. This facility, which is notably operated entirely by young South African women, has been instrumental in delivering high-quality devices to the market for four years. It stands as a proud symbol of Mobicel’s contributions to job creation, economic growth and the empowerment of women in the technology sector.
A highlight of the launch was an informative session presented by Mobicel, detailing the brand’s significant milestones over the years.
