UPDATE 16-NOV-2015: THE PHONES ARE NOW BEING SOLD ON http://mia.jumia.com

I think 'launch' would be better


anyway hope they won't bring expensive phones that will make one pay in installments

Make sense. Time for these yeye existing craps sold in the market to disappear

Thanks for spotting that. The phones are priced at 29k for the Redmi 2 and 56k for the Mi 4 but there could be a big discount on launch date.

Which one should we now believe cos a week ago we heard stuff like Xiaomi is not going to pass through Jumia. I laugh! In a market controlled by Tecno and the likes. It's not easy gaining ground here. GIONEE has been struggling since they came here. My take though

They're definitely selling on Jumia. A special website will be created for it. http://mia.. You can quote me!

Tecno are ahead of Gionee, Infinix and co

I'm particularly interested in redmi note 2 ... Hopefully Jumia won't sell it more than 32k.

That won't be available at launch according to them

OP just said 29k

that's a bummer..

This Xiaomi is one heck of a device I'll like to lay my hands on. They may be a serious threat to Tecno, infinix, Gionee, et al. But it all depends on how they play their game.

This is a snapdragon powered device with an IPS display. You can't get it at that rate. You should be talking about at least 45k upward.

But I can see snapdragon written on the picture. Check very well you'll see. Except if there are variants.

SMH!

This is a disappointment. It saddens me that Xiaomi chooses to come through Jumia, with their poor delivery services and thier tendency to over-hike the prices of their devices once they see that it is in high demand & that they are the only suppliers.

Jumia can add over 5k to the prices of their Devices.

I'd rather much stick to the Vendors we have here on Nairaland

Why are they not coming either the Redmi Note 2 na? Oooooh
