Brian, The person using it for the review has been using it mostly with a single SIM card, and it doesn't do Mpesa/Airtel Money.

Great review Martin.
I also have one of those redmi note 2's on test. I would buy one immediately if it wasn't for the Sim Toolkit problem that I also experienced. Had to go back to the OpO. On Apr 11, 2016 10:22 AM, "Martin Gicheru via skunkworks" < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

Could Mi-Phone have been started and funded on the premise that one day, as it entered the East African market it would be bought off by Xiaomi? They seem to be under this colonial impression that they own the African continent!! Unless this turns out to be a diplomatic row with Uganda I don't see how Xiaomi will not penetrate the Kenyan market.

Alvin, here is the article.

They are not exactly in the shops, currently clearing at customs. But they have talked to several retailers and partners.
Brian, they haven't actually. And Mi-Fone cannot exactly sue them before they start selling, so there's that.

Glad to know they sorted out their copyright issue with Mi. Great device price points they have. Now I can't wait to hear how Kenyans will not pronounce Xiaomi properly.

So earlier today i had a meeting with Mobile in Africa, the company that sells Xiaomi smartphones in Africa (South Africa, Nigeria and Kenya). They are officially in Kenya. For those who usually look for their devices by all means, they are here. We wrote a piece on Techweez, that's a bit comprehensive.
