In Cape Town, Zama N. has been using her Android phone the way many families do, not as a personal accessory, but as a shared device for daily life. Daily work activities, learning, security, and stability all pass through a single screen.  

So when she decided to buy a replacement phone, she wasn’t searching for the latest trend. She was looking for something she could trust. That’s when she found the Phēnix X. 

“At first I just wanted a good phone,” Zama N. laughs. “But i‑Phēnix? It became something more.” 

Zama lives in Cape Town with her young son. Like many households, her phone isn’t just personal; it’s shared, relied on, and deeply woven into daily life. 

“I applied for Pay over time in minutes and walked out the same day with my Phēnix X,” she says. “That already felt different.” 

What surprised her most came after. 

“Every month I get rewards. One month it was about 50 Rand. That helped pay for groceries. That’s real life, hey, not points I can’t use.” 

Through RISE Rewards, Zama began to see her phone as more than a device. It became a tool that gave back. Her son noticed too. 

“He borrows the Phēnix X for learning. There are education tools on there, proper ones. He watches, he practices. I feel good knowing he’s learning, not just scrolling.” 

Security was the biggest reason she stayed. 

“Scammers are everywhere. WhatsApps, fake links, pretending to be banks. With this phone, I feel safe. I trust it and my mind is at peace.” 

For Zama, the Phēnix X is simple: it works, it protects, and it gives back. 

“This phone respects me. It protects my family. And it gives something back. This one is different.”
