Nothing new you will still have to buy online


Mobile In Africa is setting up online stores in 14 countries, similar to the mostly-online sales strategy Xiaomi uses in China

They seem not to work with channel partners and spend very little on their marketing budget. They have offices in India, Brazil and supply the European and North American markets through an online portal. 

If they strategically align themselves with saaaaayyy :-) - Airtel in the Kenyan market then many major smartphone brands will take a hit in sales. 

Xiaomi products seem good in quality and are affordable.

Patrick,

Have they ever had a channel partner authorised to sell their products here in Kenya?


I have not heard of any.

Anyone have an idea when we should expect Xiaomi to launch its products in Kenya officially? 

I've been looking for an original Mi 4, that gets through Xiaomi's product verification - http://www.mi.com/verify/
