MTN introduces Samsung S6, S6 Edge

MTN revealed the much-anticipated Samsung S6 and S6 Edge smartphones are available on its MTN Sky packages for a monthly subscription of R1 899 and R1 999 respectively, as of 10 April.

The Samsung S6 and Samsung S6 Edge are available on the MTN network, and the pre-orders of these devices have been satisfactory.

Both the 32GB Samsung 6 and 64GB Samsung 6 Edge are available at MTN-branded retail stores, MTN Online stores and MTN Direct call centres on a number of tariff plans, including on the MTN Sky price plan.

"Naturally, smartphone enthusiasts have been waiting for the Samsung S6 and S6 Edge with baited breath. In keeping with our promise to providing consumers with the latest cutting-edge smartphone technology, we are ranging these new smart devices at MTN stores countrywide. We have packaged deals that will enable our customers to fully experience the capabilities of the phone on a world-class network," says Larry Annetts, Chief Marketing Officer: MTN South Africa.

These devices are designed almost completely out of custom-made Gorilla glass; the Galaxy S6 range pushes the limits of design and redefines beauty. Only 10 minutes of charging now gives you four hours of battery power. And with immediate auto-focus, the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge offer a camera that's more responsive than anything we've ever experienced.

"These smartphones that MTN is ranging are data-hungry devices that require a world-class network to operate optimally. We believe the R10 billion capital investment will help to capacitate our network and ensure that our customers' experience is not only enhanced, but enriched as well," says Annetts.

MTN South Africa customers can buy these handsets at MTN-branded retail stores or can visit the MTN Online shop at www.mtn.co.za.
