Let me introduce this great and affordable Android smartphone called Soap R11 which features 5.7 inch HD display, 4G LTE network 3GB RAM + 32GB ROM, dual Sim and 13MP + 16MP front and rear camera.
Soap R11 phone is powered with Android 7.0 Nougat operating system along with Octa-Core 4×1.4GHz Cortex processor. The phone also has a 3000 mAh non-removable battery and as well features a rear mounted fingerprint sensor. You are not alone if the brand name “Sugar Soap” sounds strange to you because I felt the same way when I saw the phone.
However, they are surely new in the Nigerian market but that doesn’t make it a bad smartphone. All the popular smartphone brands you know today started from somewhere. I was moved to review this phone when I saw the price with the amazing features the phone offers.
