Vodacom’s new cloud phone from Mobicel will provide users with a “smartphone lite” experience, letting them access YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook via the cloud.
Vodacom has introduced the Mobicel S4 cloud-based 4G phone, which it says will provide low-income earners with a “smartphone lite” experience and 4G connectivity.
It cited research conducted by the Broadband Commission for Sustainable Development in 2022, supported by Vodacom parent Vodafone, which found that lowering prices is critical to increasing access to smartphones. “The new cloud-based phone leverages the power of cloud computing to deliver a range of features typically associated with entry smartphones at a more affordable cost.”
“At Vodacom, we remain committed to bridging the digital divide by providing affordable devices — which explains why we have introduced this cloud-based model to offer lite smartphone benefits to those who traditionally cannot afford them,” said Tacchino.
