But more on that later. I mention the cameras because review protocol suggests I should. But to describe their performance I want you to imagine a beautiful African sunset, burning out the red sky from behind a lone mesa with a silhouetted a baobab tree in the foreground.
MTN Steppa Tablet vs Vodacom Smart Tab 3G
Now imagine that same scene viewed through the cardboard of a damp cereal packet. In a hall of mirrors. From the wrong end of a telescope. While someone is repeatedly poking you in the eye with a dirty pinkie finger. Yeah, the cameras are something like that.
On the plus side, the rear speaker is surprisingly OK for listening to YouTube vids and the like. The Smart Tab 3G comes with an unencumbered installation of Android 4. That means you get the stock browser and keyboard by default — which is a bad thing as they both suck like an overclocked hoover desperately trying to keep the brand alive. But hey, this is Android — so you can quickly replace them with more palatable options like Firefox and Swiftkey from the Google Play Store.

In our standard run down test, the Vodacom Smart Tab 3G put in an impressive 13 and half ours of web browsing and mixed use activity. Some battery saving measures — like a light sensor for adjusting the backlight dynamically — are missing from the hardware. After the cameras, the only real downside of the Smart Tab 3G is the storage. If you believe everything you read on a spec sheet, of course. A quick flick through Kalahari. But the kicker is that none of them come with a 3G modem built in. And the fact that the data options are so cheap is more than icing on the cake — it makes a truly democratic device for taking connectivity to the masses.
The tablet itself may be merely average, and another R1 will get you something much nicer but still WiFi inline. But the overall package looks perfectly pitched. It's flawed and far from the best tablet you could want, but with great battery life, decent performance, a 3G modem and an exceptional price it's hard to fault the Vodacom Smart Mini 3G as the best budget choice. Share on Facebook. Price: R, from R59x24 months on contract We can talk about infrastructure and we can talk about connectivity, but the only thing that's going to get more people online in South Africa is simple: price.
And that sneaky ol' red operator Vodacom may just have met both of those criteria in one go.

- Vodacom has designed a low-cost tablet for South Africa;
It's a seven inch Android tablet that goes on sale tomorrow 15th October , and absolutely can't be faulted in terms of value for money. Not only is the tablet itself cheap - R to buy out right - the data bundles available with it are some of the best value the operator has launched so far.
Which leaves us just one question, doesn't it? Is the tablet itself any good? Design Pulling the Smart Tab 3G out of its shrink wrap is an almost surprisingly pleasant experience. It's longer and thinner than most 7inchers, thanks to its extreme widescreen resolution of x, but it feels well put together.
At g it's lighter than, say, a Google Nexus 7 too: mainly because it's only 8mm deep.
On the front, the screen appears to have a plastic finish as opposed to a tough Gorilla Glass one, but doesn't seem to be overly vulnerable to scratches and our review sample has already picked up one deep mystery gouge, although it doesn't seem vulnerable to circular scratches from cleaning. The back plate is fixed in place and feels a little on the fragile side, as though it might crack if dropped too carelessly, but its certainly higher quality than many Android tabs I've tested over the years.
