Based on the current features equipped by low range smartphones, Airtel’s 4G Smartphone is not a perfect companion to buy in 2020. But if 4G connectivity is mounted in-to the mix, then its one of the best entry-level companions you can consider.
Currently, the latest low-range smartphone in Uganda is the Itel P36. By display, the device sports a waterdrop notch aboard a 6-inch Screen with lesser bezels to its design. On top of that, a non-removable 5000mAh battery powers the device.
But with a top flare of features making it a close to midrange release with a UGX 299,000 price tag, the Airtel 4G Smartphone then beats it by 4G cost.

All in All, depending on your purchase intent, the Airtel 4G Smartphone could be a great choice by Price. But if you closely consider having the latest (2020) features, then roaming through a list of budget-friendly releases could land you a better Smartphone
