The Hypertext Mobile Survey returns for 2026

Last year, Hypertext launched its inaugural Mobile Survey.

It was a success for the publication, garnering over 800 responses from our readers, and yielding some intriguing insights regarding local purchasing habits, preferences for different form factors, lengths of ownership, and more, when it comes to smartphones in South Africa.

We have brought the Mobile Survey back for 2026, launching today and running on our website and social media channels until midnight on 12th November.

Some of the headlining results from Hypertext’s first-ever Mobile Survey

Once again, we’re hoping our technology-obsessed community of readers will share their feedback. Like last year, we have an incentive in the form of R5 000 in Takealot vouchers for one lucky respondent.

When the 2026 Mobile Survey closes, we will announce the winner, and during the month of November, we will be publishing unique features based on the feedback we receive. As such, our readers will play an active role in the content they see on Hypertext.

We also think this Survey comes at an interesting time for smartphones, as new foldables are being launched in South Africa, consumers are switching to rent-to-own contracts, and RAMaggedon has seen pricing surge.

A barometer of what is happening in the South African mobile landscape, scroll further down and take part in the latest Hypertext Mobile Survey. Your participation could even result in winning R5 000 in Takealot vouchers.

As always, terms and conditions apply, which you can read at the bottom of this post.
