Xiaomi in Kenya
Flagship specifications at mid-range prices, plus a whole smart home.
Xiaomi built its reputation on undercutting everyone: chipsets, charging speeds and camera hardware normally found in flagships, sold for substantially less. If you read spec sheets before buying, Xiaomi almost always wins the comparison at a given price.
It also sells one of the widest smart-home and lifestyle ranges of any phone brand — scooters, robot vacuums, air purifiers, bulbs, bands and TVs — most of it controlled from a single app. That makes it an easy brand to standardise a household on.
The line-up splits between Xiaomi-branded flagships, Redmi for value, and POCO for performance-per-shilling aimed at gamers.
