The Energizer Power Max P490S is now available in South Africa, its local importer Pure Distribution announced on Monday.

A decidedly budget smartphone which focusses primarily on longevity, the P490S will be priced at R1899.

For that price, users get a compact device. Weighing in at just 139 grams with a 960×480 4.95 inch display, it’s one of the smaller smartphones you can get in South Africa.

With it though comes a 4000mAh battery, which Energizer believes can last “16 days in standby mode and 10 hours in constant use”.

There’s a Mediatek MT6739WA chipset, 16GB of internal storage and 2GB of RAM to boot. THere’s also a microSD card slot, and the option to use two SIM cards too.

At the back, there’s an 8MP primary camera with a VGA depth sensor. Up front there’s a 5MP snapper with another VGA depth sensor beside it. It’s actually an impressive feat for a phone under R2000.

Also included is a 3.5mm headphone jack, a rear-mounted fingerprint reader, and a microSD port for charging and data transfer.

The phone runs on Android 8.1 Oreo.

The Power Max P490S follows a number of Energizer devices heading to South Africa in 2019, including the mid-range HardCase H500S, and flagship HardCase H550S.

Energizer in March 2019 announced a slew of devices heading to market around the world, so expect a few more before the end of the year.
