The new phone looks and performs exceptionally well, and is a fraction of the cost of its competitors
South African mobile technology manufacturer Mobicel recently hosted a star-studded group of local content creators, influencers and celebrities to commemorate the launch of its pioneering VX20 smartphone at Insta Nation in Rosebank, Johannesburg.
The device garnered praise from all attending the event held on 2 March 2023, attesting to its power and functionality. The camera was the stand-out feature for the group.
Mobicel Brand Ambassador Bonginkosi Dlamini, aka Zola 7, said: “The VX20 is yet another gamechanger from Mobicel. It makes world-class technology affordable for all South Africans and has the potential to empower up-and-coming content creators with the tools to establish careers in the social media space.”
South Africans deserve better
Upon launching the brand in 2007, the smartphone market was saturated with imported devices far out of the financial reach of the average South African. Identifying a gap in the market for an affordable cellular brand, Mobicel was determined to bring accessible mobile connectivity to that market — at a fraction of the cost of established global manufacturers.
The company is a pioneer of proudly South African, high-innovation devices that incorporate global technological trends such as accessibility, connectivity and design into a price-competitive package affordable for all in the local smartphone market.
“After 15 years of delivering inexpensive, quality devices to South Africans, the VX20 is our next launch point in bringing the form and functionality of top-tier global devices into a package that more people can afford. This is part of our ethos to ‘be more’, which enshrines our commitment to keep all South Africans connected through high-quality technology at the most affordable prices. This device will better enable South Africans to be, do and have more. said Ridhwan Khan, CEO of Mobicel. “More efficiency, more mobility, more productivity, and more freedom.”
The Mobicel VX20 LTE
The VX20 LTE smartphone combines innovative technology with a sleek, modern design. The device is the first to boast Mobicel’s all-new 48-megapixel AI camera which intelligently optimises objects or scenery, allowing for spectacular picture and video quality. Once created, this content can be uploaded seamlessly to social media platforms through the device’s LTE capability, which brings high-speed data to users’ fingertips.
To optimise functionality, Mobicel has significantly upgraded the battery, internal memory, and processing power with the VX20. The device offers users 64 gigabytes of storage, a long-lasting 4500mAh battery, dual-SIM, and a powerful, lightning-speed processor which augments its overall performance.
The company has also placed emphasis on design and appearance, wrapping a vibrant, glass-like casing to the back of the VX20’s 6.52-inch screen. The polychromatic casing blends light and colour into a posh and vivid hue, bringing elements of sophistication to the outward aesthetic.
The XV20 LTE is offered at a launch price of only R2 299.
