JOHANNESBURG – MTN South Africa has launched the Steppa tablet following the sell-out of what it said was the country’s most affordable smartphone.

Bundled with 200 MB data for 12 months, the Steppa tablet “brings the
internet to students and learners, entrepreneurs on the go and consumers
looking for an affordable, high-performance alternative to a PC or
laptop.”

“Access to email, search functionality, online banking and all other benefits of mobile computing meet in the Steppa Tablet,” says Mike Fairon, General Manager: Products, Services and Innovation, MTN.

“The tablet combines features and affordability, and because it comes with a
competitive data package, we continue delivering on our promise of
delivering internet access to consumers.”

A QualcommR SnapdragonT 200 processor powers the Steppa Tablet, designed to deliver a balance of performance, robust connectivity and better battery life.

Qualcomm Snapdragon is a product of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated.

“Qualcomm Technologies’ QRD programme enabled MTN to bring the Steppa tablet to consumers faster, with more features, at a lower cost.

“The end-user ultimately benefits as they have access to a better-quality
tablet which means access to information, to mobile computing and to
mobile communication, at a price-point that is affordable,” Fairon said.
The 2 megapixel tablet runs Android 4.4 Kit Kat.

The Steppa Tablet is available at selected retail stores from end of November, for R999 on MTN’s prepaid price plans.
