PEP CELL has launched its latest device range: STYLO smartphones – devices designed to give South Africans more power, more speed and more creativity for less. And to prove it? The brand hosted an immersive experience in Cape Town, putting the device straight into the hands of the people who know content best: creators.
This Wasn’t Your Typical Tech Launch
Guests arrived at InUWell, where a curated, multi-sensory space awaited them. The walls lit up with projected visuals, STYLO devices were mounted ready for exploration, and in place of long presentations or tech jargon, three creators were handed the device and one task: create standout content, using nothing but the STYLO.
Three talented creators – Anja Oerlemans, Wonga and Mandisa Banda were tasked with this challenge. Using the STYLO Quantum with its octacore processor, 50MP camera and smooth performance, the device delivered impressive results. Each creator showcased the phone’s potential, demonstrating that you don’t need the most expensive gear to express yourself or show up online. You just need the right tools – tools that work and fit your budget.
“We know our customers can’t always afford an expensive smartphone. We also know they love to stay connected, create, and be part of the digital world,”
says Danie Opperman: Cellular Executive.
“The STYLO was built to meet them where they are – without asking them to compromise.”
The STYLO Quantum: Premium Features. Priced Affordably. Proudly South African
Developed by the PEP CELL product team, the STYLO Quantum is more than just a phone – it’s a gateway to connection, creation, and participation in the digital world. With a price tag of R1899, it’s the most affordable octacore processor smartphone in Mzansi.
Key features include:
– 4G capability with up to 20Gbps download speeds
– 50MP main camera and 16MP selfie camera
– 6.82” HD+ screen and long-lasting 5000mAh battery
– 6GB dedicated RAM (VRAM boosted to 12GB) + 128GB ROM with dual SIM capability
The STYLO is built for browsing, shooting, editing and sharing – making it ideal for students, small businesses, content creators, or anyone ready to capture life’s moments.
Why This Launch Matters
For many South Africans, smartphones are more than just devices, they are gateways to opportunity, connection and creativity. But affordability has often stood in the way. The STYLO Quantum changes that. It puts next-gen connectivity and powerful content creation tools into more hands – backed by the convenience of PEP’s national footprint.
“We’re not just selling a phone – we’re making sure our customers have access to create, connect and be proud of what they produce,”
adds Beyers van der Merwe – Chief Executive: Marketing.
“Our after-sales service is industry-leading with a 7-day turnaround on any repairs required, through PEP stores nationwide, so they’ve got peace of mind too.”
Where to Get Yours
The STYLO Quantum is available exclusively at PEP and PEP CELL stores nationwide, giving more South Africans the chance to plug in, power up and create without limits – all at a price that fits their pocket.
