It’s no secret that many phone brands in Nigeria ride on the influence Jumia or Konga have to market its device. We have seen cases of the Infinix Hot 2, InnJoo range of devices and so many others.

If you remember when I said Xiaomi should be king of Nigeria, well, it’s going to happen sooner than we expect and we know what this will mean for other African based phone brands like Tecno and Infinix, to name a few.

However, there is a twist, Xiaomi won’t sell its phones directly to consumers, instead, the MIA group will handle sales, marketing and customer support. I googled MIA groups and discovered that they are a major Leader in the supply of innovative electronics solutions. They are the sole authorized distributors for Samsung and PABBX equipment, they are also the sole importer of Gigaset cordless phones

For those who can’t wait to get their hands on the phone, you only have the Redmi 2 and the high-end Mi4 whichwhich will be available in the middle of November

What do you think of this distribution strategy embarked by Xiaomi, Lose or Win?

The name xiaomi is not well known in Nigeria here. They will hav to bring the price of their phones down in order to make a mark in a market dominated by Tecno and the likes

Nothing will happen to tecno and other mtk device joor..... Nigerians are use to these phones and it will take a long time for xiaomi to get notice, only the tech savvy guys will prefer xiaomi to tecno, but the non techy guy on the street won't send... Moreover there is no guarantee xiaomi phone will be affordable like tecno and infinix...
