MTN Kabode Supa is the latest smartphone with a pay-on credit payment structure, making it affordable and favorable for customers. Succeeding the original MTN Kabode, the MTN Kabode Supa which launched mid last year, and comes at a daily installment fee of UGX 833 payable for 6 months before you can fully own the device.
A UGX 99,000 deposit is required to get the MTN Kabode Supa which comes with 2GB of free MTN Data every month for 7 months.
This means, alongside the favorable daily payment plan of UGX 833, as a customer, you get free data to maximize the smartphone’s browsing capabilities with common platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, among others available for Android.
Affordability aside, the MTN Kabode Supa specifications tease an average build quality, features, and functionality equipped to the smartphone.
A 5-inch screen size, Android Go, and a 1.4GHZ processor make it an entry-level smartphone, but support for 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE bands makes it a great beginner device as listed on the specifications sheet we received from MTN Uganda.

Ratings
In a nutshell, the MTN Kabode Supa has launched a smartphone designed to favor low-key users who would like to upgrade from a feature phone to a touch screen device, but given its specifications, the device ranks below the original MTN Kabode smartphone.
More so, with a deposit fee of UGX 99,000, the MTN Kabode Supa does not rank up to this flat fee status. Given the fact that you clear UGX 25,000 every month for 6 months, the total price of the smartphone accumulates to UGX 249,000 which is way too high if compared to better specification variants like the Itel A-series.
Hence, if you can get the original MTN Kabode, or MTN Kamunye, well and good, else, we can range the MTN Kabode Supa as a disappointment as per its specifications sheet. But if we manage to receive a review unit from MTN, we shall publish our overall performance grade report in the coming weeks.
Well, this is a bad one from MTN. If you are planning to buy it, don’t waste your money, find a good second hand device or consider other options that offer the buy-on-credit plan.
Quite true.
