If you are very smart, the next time you are buying the Infinix Hot2 smartphone, valued at about N100,000, you would get it at a mere N17,000. That is however, if you navigate to the Jumia online store.
This is the beauty of the partnership between Google, MTN, Jumia, and Infinix, in Google’s Android One programme which was recently unveiled in Africa through an excl;usive launch of Infinix Hot2 device on the Jumia online store.
According to the partners, the launch makes it possible for the Nigerian consumers to have the Smartphone device valued at N100, 000 at N17, 500 exclusively on jumia.com.ng.
The Chief Executive Officer of Jumia Nigeria, Jeremy Doutte: “As the 15 per cent market shareholder of Smartphone sales across Nigeria, Jumia Nigeria is indeed committed to being a world-class organization and maintaining its status as Nigeria’s number one online retail store. In every sense of the word, more than ever before, the company is set to drive the implementation of its e-commerce model in its first-ever partnership with Google, Infinix and MTN to encourage technological innovation in Nigeria via the introduction of Android One in the form of the Infinix Hot 2 mobile phone. This partnership brings Jumia closer to accomplishing its ultimate goal of placing one Smartphone in the hands of every Nigerian.”
He added that, “Jumia will continue to drive and make premium technological equipment available to Nigerians at an affordable price.”
Google has just introduced an affordable Smartphone in six African countries to enable low-income earners to gain access to an interconnected device. Nigeria is the first to sell the device, which will be followed by Ghana, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Egypt, and Morocco in the coming weeks. The price for the Hot 2 phones starts at N17, 500, which makes it a steep markdown from other Smartphones.
