Visitors at the Smart booth also got to try Blacknut during PGDX 2026. The booth had different activities, with prizes such as gaming skin codes up for grabs.
Smart also featured its Power All offers at the event. These offers come with open-access data that can be used for gaming, streaming, sharing content, and online work or school.
