Mintt Smartphones launch on Nine Network's The Block

The 15th season of the Australian reality TV show “The Block" is well underway with the contestants taking on the challenge to renovate the Oslo in St Kilda, Melbourne.

The building, a gem in its former life as a hotel for gold miners, had a transformation as a backpackers hostel, and now is a renovator’s delight.

This season the 5 teams are renovating a massive 460m2 for each team, double the size of last season’s project, The Gatwick.

The $250,000 budget has to stretch to renovate each separate terrace house containing 14 rooms.   

The tough real estate market and house price decreases mean delivering luxe needs to be savvy - without compromise and still affordable to the contestants.

Which is why Mintt smartphones were selected to be the exclusive smartphone supplier to The Block.   Great style, all the features - and with contestants looking to use their money wisely.
The contestants needed a smartphone that would work 24/7 in tough conditions - which they could rely on to take great selfies, shop, bank and research ideas, products and services.
It’s why Suncorp have offered Mintt smartphones to their members nationwide this year!    It’s a good fit for Suncorp who encourage Australians to spend better, save better and dream better.
