Hi Friends,

Sony Mobile Communications and Telkom are thrilled to announce an exclusive partnership between the two telecom giants and African music artist, Onesimus with the launch of the new Xperia XA2 Ultra Dual Sim smartphone, the ultimate dual selfie camera smartphone with an impressive 6” display made for big-screen entertainment.

This exciting partnership kicks off with an exciting deal where fans will receive three Onesimus soundtracks when upgrading or purchasing to the Xperia XA2 Ultra Dual Sim, the tracks ‘I Need You’, ‘Freedom’ and ‘Tchuku Tchuku’ will be available for download through Xperia Lounge.

The African celebrated music artist Onesimus, Sony Mobile and Telkom are all entering this journey with a clear goal in mind: To give Xperia XA2 Ultra Dual Sim owners an exclusive offering where technology meets music. This partnership further entrenches Sony Mobile’s focus on being able to offer local fans exclusive content via their smartphones.

“Music is a part of Sony Mobile’s heritage so being able to collaborate with Onesimus stands testament to our key values and focus, we couldn’t be more delighted to work in partnership with Telkom and support local artists, says Christian Haghofer, Sony Mobile Communications, Country Manager, South Africa.

“Smartphones have made the world smaller for us all, but as an artist, its also made the distance between myself and my fans even smaller. I use my smartphone to communicate with my fans and keep them up to date with everything I am working on which is why this partnership is so special to me,” says Onesimus

“Telkom is putting consumers first with innovative packages at reduced prices. In December, we gave South Africa the “12 Days of Christmas” song collaboration between Goodluck and BlackMotion, and our LIT service gives our customers unlimited music streaming. We’re very happy to be partnering with Onesimus and Sony Mobile to offer even more exclusive music content,” said Telkom’s Managing executive for Sales and Distribution, Megan Nicholas.

Engineered specifically for selfies, the Xperia XA2 Ultra Dual Sim features a 16MP with Optical Stabilisation and 8MP 120° super wide-angle dual front camera, both with front flash, producing clear shots regardless of the lighting or environment and for fitting more friends and surroundings into selfies.

9 Reasons to Consider #HuaweiP9 #Smartphone @HuaweiZA @Leica_Camera

Hi Guys,

We recently saw the latest additions to the dual-lens P9 family, the P9 Red and P9 Blue. Now this can change the way you see the world in two signature colours and stand out from the smartphone crowd like a pro! Since launch, the Huawei P9 has sold over 6 million devices globally, a remarkable achievement to date and customers around the world continue to share and capture their experiences with the P9. You may be asking yourself what makes the P9 so exceptional? Here are 9 reasons to get the phone that everybody is talking about:

1. LEICA QUALITY
Innovative dual-camera smartphone photography system co-engineered with Leica to take image quality to a new level. Did we mention you can become the ultimate selfie expert with mastered selfies? With the P9, it is possible.

2. LEICA-SPECIFIED FEATURES
Authentic Black and White photography with dedicated monochrome sensor. Three Leica classic film modes for more stylish photos, more vivid and true-to-life colors. I am sure as soon as you click some photos with the monochromatic lens of P9, you will fall in love with them. I sure am fan of the same though I only have clicked one photograph so far at the launch event.

3. NEW COLORS
New bold RED and BLUE P9 colors, perfect for consumers seeking exquisite style. I fell in love with the Red P9 as soon as I first saw the same.

4. EXQUISITE THREE TYPE OF METAL-FINISHING
World-leading industrial design employing advanced ultra-fine brushed hairlines, sand-blasting and ceramic-effect metal polishing.

5. ULTRA-COMPACT
Sleek, streamlined design with bezel-less screen for better screen-to–body ratio. The dual rear lenses of the P9 fit perfectly so you do not need to worry about having that awkward camera bump.

6. BATTERY
No need to stress about charging your P9 throughout the day because a larger battery capacity gives you longer run-time with fast-charging capabilities.

7. CONNECTIVITY
Dual SIM and Single SIM options with Micro-SD memory expansion. This helps us to forget our DSLR at home and just push in some 32/64gb memory cards so as to click 3000/6000 photographs.

8. INTERACTIVITY
3D fingerprint recognition gives you added security with accurate and safer user access.

9. AUDIO ENHANCEMENT
The P9 has concealed stereo speakers (Horizontal mode) and high Fidelity Sound (Vertical mode) for the best quality audio.

Two lenses are just the beginning of dual-lens photography. Behind the lens, we have built a brand partnership with Leica who bring over 100 years of photography innovation. Our customers love the photography capabilities that are now available in the palm of their hands and capturing professional photographs has never been easier. The size of both dual cameras are 12-megapixels to help you get professional camera-like photo quality even in low light, all the time. Impressed? We hope so because the Huawei P9 will exceed your expectations over and over again. Search the hashtags #HuaweiP9, #CapturedonP9 and #OO to find some amazing shots taken by P9 users around the world.

12megapixels was the sensor on Nikon D90 DSLR and it's still used mostly by Wedding photographers so the real test of users will be to learn the art of capturing the candid moments on P9. I am looking forward to this phone as my day to day smartphone but there are still if's and but's at the end of Huawei South Africa. 

Cheers!!!

Each device is perfectly constructed from superior-grade glass, diamond-cut edges and an aluminum unibody with curves in all the right places.

South African consumers can look forward to the P9 in three remarkable colours: Haze Gold, Ceramic White and Titanium Grey.

Hi Guys,

Microsoft SA announced the availability of the Lumia 535 single and dual SIM in South Africa on 3rd Feb 2015, available from R1699 on prepaid, and on contract offers starting from R149 per month. Lumia 535 single and dual SIM features five free, integrated Microsoft experiences, a spacious 5-inch display and a 5 MP front facing camera - all for an affordable price – the Lumia 535 helps people do more of what they want, for less.

Fit more memorable backgrounds or add more friends into Skype video calls and selfies with the 5 MP wide angle front facing camera.

5. Never miss a call or text, and be reachable on both SIM cards at any time with Smart Dual SIM for maximum flexibility.

“Many people, especially the younger tech-involved audiences, aspire to own the latest flagship smartphone, but often don’t have the means,” said Patrick Henchie, Head of product, Microsoft Mobile Devices, Sub-Sahara Africa.  “With access to the best services right out of the box, including the Windows Phone 8.1 update, Lumia Denim, Lumia 535 helps people do more of what they want, for less.”

The Lumia 535 is available now, in black and white colors.

The phone is light weight and looks fabulous with its big display. The phone is also launching it's own #MAKEITHAPPEN campaign where buyers can pledge for anything they want within the short span of three months and then Microsoft will try to help you do the same. For me I will prepare for Half-Marathon within the next three months #makeithappen @MicrosoftSA! 

The #Selfie app is still not inverting the picture automatically so the words written, if any are still mirror imaged. I hope its me that is taking the wrong selfies but will try and test if Microsoft sends me review devices soon!

Cheers!!!

Product Launch - Microsoft Lumia 730 #LoveThySelfie

Hi Guys!

Microsoft has launched Lumia 730 Dual SIM, exclusively with consumer champion, Cell C. The device will be available soon at Cell C stores countrywide for just R229 per month on a SmartChat 1GB contract. The recommended cash retail price is R4499. 

The Lumia 730 combines slim, compact design with powerful performance creating an uncompromised smartphone experience. Alongside dual SIM support, the Lumia 730 provides outstanding personalisation with the latest version of Windows Phone 8.1 along with Lumia Denim. The phone is very light weight and comes in matte and glossy back covers. I really loved the Green Matte back cover. 

Lumia 730 has it’s first wide angle, 5MP front facing camera, enabling people to easily capture and share more of what they want - #LoveThySelfie. The front facing camera means a great experience when making Skype video calls, and consumers that purchase their Lumia 730 this year will also get the benefit of three months of free Skype calls to landlines around the world. 

The powerful front facing camera also takes unbeatable selfies in full 5MP resolution, with videos recorded in 1080p. These can be shared quickly and easily via social networks like Facebook and Instagram. With a focal length of 24mm, the Lumia 730's front facing camera captures more of the scene, ensuring people are never cut out of the group. 

A powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, featuring a quad core CPU at 1.2GHz, means a fast and smooth user experience. The 2220 mAh battery keeps you going for a full day, and the 4.7 inch HD OLED display has a viewing angle of almost 180 degrees, making it possible to watch your favourite videos even in bright sunlight. 

Microsoft services such as Outlook, Word, Excel, OneNote and PowerPoint bring a great mobile productivity experience, and 15GB of OneDrive cloud storage allow you to sync, store, access and share content online. Additionally, you can access a world of apps through the Windows Store, with favourites like Instagram, Adidas miCoach, Vimeo, Uber and Flipboard. 

The best thing I likes it the removable covers to replace it with your favourite colour and also you can change the batteries. Wireless charging has been taken off from Lumia 730 as compared to 720. Also the rear camera of 6.7 MP remains the same across both devices. Dual sim can be controlled via the settings and notifications will enable you to stay in touch always. 

The Lumia 730 will be available locally in dark grey. Consumers purchasing the devices from mid-November at selected stores will receive a free Xbox 360 with games. This offer is limited to the first 250 customers.

Cheers!!!
