In case you missed it, here’s the headline “Phēnix X is a blockchain phone developed by a notable company, and its pilot launch is set to be in South Africa soon.”

Back to the main story

Two days ago, the company announced that they had gotten 4G CE certification for Phēnix X, after going through testing in November. Obtaining the CE certification was an important step toward the Phenix X's commercial launch in South Africa. It shows that the product adheres to the key market criteria in Africa’s electromagnetic compatibility, wireless capabilities, and safety regulations. With its 4G connection, the Phenix X ensures broad support for carrier signals throughout the continent and beyond.

They believe in the device’s ability to alter the perception of African innovation and advancement. I guess it’s left for time to tell.
