Xiaomi is definitely on a roll. Through a mix of hard work,
competitive pricing, viral marketing and just a little bit of luck the Chinese
OEM is now enjoying incredible interest in its handsets. In the past week
alone, the company can boast record breaking sales on the Redmi Note 2, a
gorgeous new MIUI 7 and rumors of a benchmark-breaking Mi5 flagship on the way.
This all sound terribly exciting, but Xiaomi definitely has its
work cut out, as tackling the Africa market is no easy task. The mobile
business in most of the countries there is still developing and just like in
India, the vast and young Africa market requires carefully-tailored and above
all, competitively-priced offers. Google only recently managed to expand the
Android One program to Africa with the $87 Infinix Hot 2, so the task should not
be taken lightly.
Wondering what the price would be?
Initially, two Xiaomi devices will be made available – the Redmi
2 and the Mi 4. They will carry price tags of ZAR 1,999 or about US $160 and
ZAR 3,999 or about US$ 320, respectively.
