The Lumia 435 and

the first time people can now also purchase Lumia devices online via www.jumia.co.ke.
Lumia devices now available on Jumia
With the developing online shopping culture, and to
make the Lumia device experience available to as wide an audience as possible,
Microsoft Lumia smartphones are now available on Jumia, the leading online
e-commerce platform in Africa.
“Statistics shared by Communication’s
Authority of Kenya (CAK) indicate that the total number of data/internet
subscriptions grew by close to six percent, and now stand at nearly 15 million.
This is clear indicator that people in Kenya are using the internet more and more
every day. The trend provides a great opportunity for Microsoft to partner with
a leading online sales channel, Jumia, to offer people an alternative,
convenient and safe option to purchase our devices,” notes Mariam Abdullahi,
general manager, Microsoft Mobile Devices Sales, East Africa.
“We are looking forward to building a long-term and
successful relationship with Microsoft. Kenyan consumers will appreciate
getting great prices and knowing that the quality of their Lumia devices is
guaranteed. Being the online launch pad for Microsoft in Kenya will enable both
of our brands to reach new customers and provide them with a great customer
experience,” says Parinaz Firozi, managing director, Jumia Kenya.
