Lava smart phones now available in Kenya

Lava smart phones are now available in Kenya. This means that consumers have a wide range of Smart phones to choose from.

You may not have heard about lava, that is expected, but for your reading pleasure, Lava is a company that has its origins in India.

Kenya being a consumer of smart phones from the China, this new entrant offers some competition and variety.

Already Lava is available in countries such as Egypt, Nigeria, Sudan and Ghana. Kenya is now their newest market.

These phone are already on Jumia Kenya, and other retail shores in Kenya.

What to expect from Lava smart phones

Here are some of the gadgets that are already in the Kenyan market.

  • Lava Z1
  • Lava Z92
  • Lava Lava Iris 42 and Iris 51
  • Lava Z50 Pro

I have not had the chance to un-box one, but from the look of things, the Lava Z92 may be a hit in the market.

One thing that stands out from this brand of phones is that they are cheap. Most retail at between Ksh. 1200 to Ksh. 12000. Off course the Lava Z92 being the dearer of them all.

I checked the Lava Z92 specifications and here is what I came up with.

Quickmart opens 24-hour branch in Lavington

Quickmart has opened a 24-hour branch in Lavington, Nairobi. The supermarket is located at the Valley Arcade.

Quickmart is one of the top supermarkets in Kenya and seems to taking advantage of the void left by the fallen giant, Nakumatt.

It is the first store under this chain of supermarket that will be offering 24-hour service to customers, a service other supermarkets have been unable to provide, except for Naivas chain of supermarkets which has three 24-hour supermarkets in Kenya.  

This is what Quickmatt’s head of marketing Betty Wamaitha told Shopaxo after the lauch, “When we studied the area, we discovered it is populated by high-income shoppers who require the flexibility of shopping at any time. The people in this neighborhood remain underserved. With the opening of this new branch we are trying to fill this unmet shopping need.”

With the opening of this branch, this bring to four the number of supermarkets that operate on a 24-hour schedule. Naivas, one of the largest supermarkets in Kenya, own the other three.

Quickmart has other branches in Kahawa Sukari, Ruiru, Waithaka, Eastern Bypass, Ruaka, Ruai and another at Thindigua along Kiambu Road. There are also two more branches in Nakuru, a town known to be the birthplace of major supermarkets in Kenya.

With the opening of this branch, Quickmart seems to announcing itself as a major player in the supermarket in Kenya. Especially after the fall if Nakumatt and the woes that are currently troubling Uchumi.

As to whether this move will be a success, time will tell. Especially with other major players in the industry watching.

Quickmart’s latest strategic spot will serve customers in the Kileleshwa and Lavington neighbourhood and surrounding areas, which are currently under-served. The new Valley Arcade branch will create 150 jobs.

Techno Camon 11; 5 Things You Most Likely Didn’t Know.

Tecno has just released the Techno Camon 11 into the Kenyan market just day after Huawei released the Y9 (2019) into the Kenyan Market. Moreover, truth be told that the smartphone market is seeing a god fight of its own. Smartphone makers are producing devices that are giving their competitor sleepless night.

Kenya seems to me a ripe market for the budget smartphones from China and these Chinese guys are not taking any chances to fulfil our appetite.

So let us look at what you may not know about this smartphone.


1.The phone looks like the Huawei Y9(2019)

The Techno Camon 11 looks like the Huawei Y9 (2019). In fact, it is very had to differentiate the two. I do not know which manufacturer copied from the other, however if you almost buying the Huawei Y9(2019), it would be better to have a look at the Techno Camon 11.

2. It has a large screen

Of late smart phone manufactures are producing devices that are 6.2’’ of screen, and the Techno Camon 11 is no different. It come with a 6.2’’ screen, and since most of us have appetite for large screens, it a good device to move around with.

3. It will not be sold in China

Most of us may never know this. Moreover, I do not mean to say that it is an inferior device. No. The fact that it is not sold in China does not mean that it is an inferior brand.

In fact, no techno devices are sold in China. Techno mobile produces phone exclusively for the African market. Even though its headquarters are in China, the company seems to have a different marketing strategy for it products.

No wonder unlike its competitors such as Huawei and Xiaomi, which are also based in China, they do not produce high-end smartphones.

4. It will hit Kenyan Stores on Monday 12th November 2018

The company announced that beginning 12th of November 2018; the phone will be available at stores in Kenya. We do expect to see the phones at Techno shops, resellers and large e-commerce store such as Jumia Kenya.

5. It has an AI Camera

The AI camera is becoming popular with smartphone users. For those who do not know the AI means Artificial Intelligence. AI usually recognizes the scene and then adjust automatically to take the best images that ca be.

With the current tread in the market, this a feature that the Techno Camon 11 can bank on to sell thousands of units.

Specifications of the Techno Camon 11

Now that you know a few fact about the Techno Camon 11, let us have a look at the specifications.

  • Camera- Dual Camera, 13MP+5MP back Camera and a 16MP selfie (front camera).
  • Operating System- Android 8.1 Oreo.
  • Storage- 3GB RAM and 32GB internal memory.
  • Processor- MediaTek Helio A22.
  • Battery-3750mAh inbuilt battery.
  • Colour- Comes in aqua blue, black, Hawaii blue and midnight.

Price and availability

The phone was announced on November 1st 2018 and should be available as of 12th November 2018. The phone will set you back for about Ksh. 19000(although this is not official but going by the specs).

Final thoughts

Techno mobile phones are very popular in Kenya. The Techno Camon 11 has some good specs. It is a device worthy having if you do not have much to spend. However if you can wait a little longer, we do expect to see the improved version of the phone soon, the Techno Camon 11 Pro.

Should you buy this phone, we will be glad to hear a review of the phone here. You can create an account on this site or even join our discussions in the forum.
