The MTN Steppa 2 will cost R999 – without a contract – and come with 200MB of data per month for 12 months, a spokesperson for MTN has confirmed.

MTN was addressing questions about the device’s listing in its latest deal book at the same price as the MTN Steppa Tablet.

Both the Steppa 2 and Steppa Tablet were announced at an event in Johannesburg at the start of November 2014, with MTN saying that the two devices will launch during the last week of the month.

While MTN was willing to reveal the price of the Steppa Tablet at the time, it said it was keeping the price of the Steppa 2 under wraps for competitive reasons.

The MTN Steppa 2 is based on Qualcomm’s Reference Designs, features a 4″ WVGA display, is powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor, and runs on Android 4.3 “Jelly Bean”.

Though it won’t ship with a more recent version of Android, Qualcomm and MTN promised that the Steppa 2 would be upgradeable to Android 4.4 KitKat.

The table below summarises some of the key specifications of the device.
