According to the team, their first device, the JamboPhone, is now the most globally distributed Web3 mobile phone.
JamboPhone targets users in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America and is available in over 40 countries when it first launched.
The device is integrated with the Aptos network via pre-installed apps, such as the Aptos-compatible wallet Petra. It also aims to educate users about Web3 markets including DeFi and gaming.
Building on that success, the JamboPhone 2 introduces advanced improvements like the next-generation JamboGPT, fine-tuned specifically for crypto knowledge in real-time powered by the most cutting-edge large language model (LLM).

The hardware has also been upgraded, featuring 12GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a 12-hour battery life. The RAM is three times larger, and the storage capacity is double that of the original JamboPhone.
The team also mentioned that users who own both phones may be eligible for bonuses from Jambo Ecosystem partners from Solana and Aptos.
Overall, for the same price, JamboPhone 2 seems interesting with all the upgrades it entails, along with potential airdrops from ecosystem partners.
