The company has announced it is launching a Windows Phone 8.1 device; the Verssed W1 smartphone – the first of its kind for their stores.

The Verssed W1 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor and offers excellent connectivity via Wi-Fi 801.11n plus Bluetooth 4.0, and fast download speeds (HSPA+ speeds of up to 42 Mbps). The lenses don’t disappoint either as it sports a 5 megapixel rear-facing camera and 1420 mAh battery.

The Verssed W1 smartphone will start to retail at Edcon outlets (select Edgars, Jet and CNA) from 15 December at R899. Makes the perfect Christmas gift.

And like fellow underdog Massmart, the retailer plans to offer Samsung’s flagship handset. The peeps at Edcon somehow still refuse to give more info on the device’s pricing, with no pre-orders for folks visiting Edgars retail stores either. What we (or the peeps at Edcon rather) can confirm is that they begin selling on April 11th.

That’s something new.
