The cheapest mobile phone in South Africa costs less than R100, while entry-level Android smartphones cost between R500 and R600. Other people are keen to get a smartphone, but because of financial constraints are looking for the most affordable option available. Many South Africans are looking for the cheapest mobile phone they can find, and are only interested in making calls and sending SMSs. However, not everyone can afford these devices or wants to carry around an expensive mobile phone.
High-end smartphones are all the rage, with the Samsung Galaxy S6, iPhone 6, and LG G3 dominating headlines.
