By Standard Reporter | May 25, 2015

NAIROBI, KENYA: Thousands of mobile phones will go on sale at steep discounts during Mobile Week Megathon sale set for between June 2nd and 8th.

Unlike the Black Friday Sale which lasted for a day, the Mobile Week will span a whole week and will feature some of the world’s most renowned mobile brands including Innjoo, Infinix, Samsung, Fly Mobile, Microsoft and Tecno with deals which will sell at ‘jaw-dropping prices’.

Jumuia Managing Director Parinaz Firozi said, “I am confident no other company can match the prices of mobile phones we will be offering during the mobile week since we are working directly with the brands to get exclusive deals and even launch new handsets.

Customers who download the Jumia application will receive exclusive early access to the deals from 5:00AM in the morning before the deals go live at 9:00AM on desktop.

A press conference will be held in early June to mark the start of the promotion with the launch of an original white paper on the "Growth of the Smartphone Market in Kenya".
