MTN Rwanda launches affordable 4G-enabled smartphone in partnership with ITEL Rwanda

The entry of this 4G device into the market reinforces MTN Rwanda’s overarching belief that everyone deserves the benefits of a modern connected life and tackles one of the barriers to access 4G connectivity, namely, affordability.

The ITEL A60 is embedded with 32GB+2GB memory, a 6.6 inche HD+ screen, a long-lasting battery life and high mega pixel camera specifications. MTN Rwanda has also enhanced the deal with an inclusive offer of a FREE 1GB internet bundle per month, for a period of six months.

Desire Ruhinguka, MTN Rwanda’s acting Chief Consumer Digital Officer stated during the launch at City Plaza, Nyarugenge District “We are excited to partner with ITEL Rwanda to launch the most affordable 4G enabled smartphone in the market. Our goal is to bridge the digital divide and make high-speed internet accessible toall, leaving no one behind.

W are thrilled to offer our customers the opportunity to join the digital revolution and unlock their potential.”
