These smartphones punch above their weight, with competitive price tags and fab features, and they’re all available right now through Vodacom Online.
Alcatel Onetouch Pixi 3 4.5 3G
Prepaid price: R949
Specs of the Alcatel Onetouch Pixi that we love:
- The Android OS because it gives you access to the Google Play Store, Gmail, Google Photos and other handy apps and services.
- The graphics and filters that are preloaded on the phone to add sparkle to your photos.
- The 8MP main camera and 2MP selfie camera, which produce crisp-looking images that could easily have been taken on a phone in a much higher price range.
- The large 4.5-inch colour display.
Plus: Available in volcano black, metallic silver and white on Vodacom Online.
Prepaid price: R1 399
Specs of the Smart Speed that we love:
- The fact that this smartphone costs less than half the price of the Smart Ultra 6, and yet it is equally reliable.
- The super-crisp 4.5-inch wide VGA screen.
- The quad-core processor, which conserves battery power better than phones with dual-core processors.
- The more-than-adequate 5MP camera.
Plus: If you buy on Vodacom Online now, you will get big savings in the form of reduced monthly subs on a uChoose Flexi plan.
Prepaid price: R3 399
Specs of the Huawei P8 that we love:
- The fact that it really is light, weighing only 131g and at only 7.7mm thick.
- The sharp 13MP main camera, designed to work in even low-light situations, and 5MP selfie camera – specs that are more often seen on phones with price tags that are far less attractive.
- The audio speaker, which produces higher quality integrated sound than almost any phone on the market.
- You can record HD video on the P8 Lite, to capture big moments as they happen.
Plus: Connecting to Vodacom’s super-fast LTE network means you’ll experience the quickest and smoothest connectivity ever.
Prepaid price: R4 299
Specs of the Xperia M4 Aqua that we love:
- The large, crisp, beautiful 5-inch display.
- The waterproof and dust-tight design that makes this phone the perfect companion for you when you’re on the move.
- A battery that lasts up to two days, one of the most powerful on the market in this range.
- Connectivity on Vodacom’s LTE, South Africa’s fastest wireless network.
Plus: The tempered glass display makes the M4 Aqua look and feel like an exclusive smartphone with a much heftier price tag.
