Is this $30 smartphone a gamechanger?

Johannesburg-based Onyx Connect is gearing up to launch a four-inch entry-level smartphone for about $30 that includes front and rear cameras, 1GB RAM, 8GB ROM, 1.3GHz quad core processor and runs the latest Android 7 Nougat.

While most low-cost smartphones come preloaded with apps that can use up half the storage space, Onyx will give the user a "clean" phone.
