#Kenya has made significant strides towards becoming a hub for #smartphoneassembly in #Africa with the opening of its first #smartphone #assembly plant in October 2023. This joint venture between local operators #Safaricom and #Jamii Telecom, along with #Chinese manufacturer Shenzhen #TeleOne #Technology, aims to increase affordability, boost digital inclusion, create jobs, and facilitate technology transfer. The plant has seen successful sales, indicating strong initial demand, and benefits from being a first mover in the #EastAfrican region. However, the company may face challenges such as competition from established players, supply chain dependence, limited model options, the need to build a domestic supplier base, and ensuring a skilled labor force. Despite these challenges, Kenya's and Africa's smartphone assembly initiatives hold promise for making smartphones more accessible and contributing to technological advancement. The question remains whether they can compete with giant manufacturers in the long term.#Rwanda #Mara #MaraX #MaraZ #Southafrica #Ethiopia #Egypt #Nigeria #Ghana #Algeria #Neon #Samsung #Tecno #Apple #Google #Android
