The amount you pay at the beginning depends on the Samsung model you choose. After paying the required deposit and completing the approval process, you receive your smartphone and continue paying according to your repayment schedule.
Generally, phones with higher prices require larger deposits. Choosing the right phone depends on your budget and how you plan to use your device.
Choosing the right Watu phone depends on your budget and how you use your smartphone every day. While all three devices offer Samsung's trusted software experience, each model is designed for a different type of user.
| Feature | Galaxy A06 | Galaxy A07 | Galaxy A17 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best For | First smartphone users | Everyday multitasking | Power users |
| Storage Options | 64GB / 128GB | 64GB / 128GB | 128GB |
| RAM | 4GB | 4GB | 4GB |
| Battery | 5000mAh | 5000mAh | 5000mAh |
| Ideal For | Calls, WhatsApp, Facebook | Students & Business | Heavy Daily Use |
The Samsung Galaxy A06 is Watu's most affordable phone. It is perfect for customers buying their first Android smartphone or anyone who mainly uses WhatsApp, Facebook, YouTube and Mobile Money.
The Galaxy A07 offers a noticeable improvement over the A06 while remaining affordable. It handles multitasking better and is a great option for students, riders, shop attendants and small business owners.
If your budget allows, the Galaxy A17 delivers the best experience among the phones currently available through Watu. It offers more storage, smoother performance and is better suited for customers who keep many apps, photos and videos on their phones.
Approval times may vary depending on the verification process and the information provided during your application.
