Chinese phones offer Kenyans wider options
The entry of various Chinese smartphone firms into the Kenyan market has offered local people wider options in the selection of both low- and high-cost smartphones. At least two Chinese smartphone manufacturers have entered the Kenyan market this year, adding to several others that were already operating in the East African nation.
The Chinese phone-makers in Kenya include Huawei, Tecno, Lenovo, Oppo and Infinix. All the technology giants are making smartphones that are pocket-friendly, particularly for the Kenyan market, where feature phones are still in wider use.
Kenyan people can now acquire quality, multi-functional smartphones for as little as $30. However, the phone-makers are not only manufacturing low-cost phones but high-end gadgets that cost as much as $490.
