Xiomi Partners With Jumia For The Official Launch Of Its Flagship Store In Nigeria

Xiaomi, a Chinese company founded in 2010 by two friends- Lei Jun and Lin Bin celebrated its 9^th anniversary in April 11, 2019 where MI fans (the logo for Xiaomi) celebrated its progress especially with the news of its official launch in the country. Before then, MI fans have had to ship for its new phones directly while they wait several days to get it.

Xiaomi is currently the world’s fourth-largest smartphone brand, and has established the world’s largest consumer IoT platform with smartphones and smart hardware. The brand aims at creating the most user-centric Mobile Internet company for its users and has come with so much progress over 9 years with the latest talked about Redmi series (Redmi Note 7 and Redmi 7) launched in the country.

Earlier in the year, Xiaomi established an African Regional Department with Jumia to take on the African smartphone market starting with Nigeria. In an interview with Juliet Anammah, Chief Executive Officer of Jumia Nigeria, she said “the launch of Redmi Note 7 is coming at a time when Nigeria is mentioned among seven countries that would contribute 700 million new mobile subscribers to hit the six billion mobile subscribers mark in the world by 2025. The availability of honest price point smartphones such as Xiaomi will deepen smartphone penetration in the country and help the country in meeting its four per cent quota of the 700 million new global mobile subscribers, as predicted by GSMA Intelligence”.
