JamboPhone is primarily targeted at users in emerging markets such as Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, and is priced at a low price of $99 (approximately 15,000 yen). It is sold in over 40 countries and can also be ordered from Japan. (Solana's Chapter 2 smartphone is currently $500 = 75,000 yen)

This smartphone (Android 13 OS) is manufactured by Jambo Technology, an African Web3 development company. To enhance convenience and Web3 incentives, an Aptos-based wallet called Petra and other related dApps are preinstalled from the beginning, allowing users to “earn” Web3 learning content.

“This partnership aims to strengthen Web3 accessibility and education in the regions that will benefit the most by leveraging Aptos' innovative blockchain technology and Jambo's commitment to digital inclusion,” Aptos said in a statement. Together, the Aptos Foundation and Jambo aim to remove barriers to digital participation and foster a future where everyone, regardless of geography or economic status, can access and benefit from Web3 advances. ”.

Aptos token prices briefly rose following this announcement, but are currently down -5.1% from the previous day.
