FoxConn, a leading contract manufacturer, is considering an entry into the Kenyan market.
This is according to an insider source as reported by Techweez. The contract manufacturer could launch a number of InFocus smartphones in Kenya.
The news that FoxConn could launch in Kenya is significant if you consider that scale that the company operates.
Operating at that scale will ensure that the company provides smartphones at a competitive rate that other players in the market might struggle to beat.
In addition to this, company is the contract manufacturers for a number of well-established brands such as Apple, Nokia, Xiaomi and Sony. I bet that consumers are likely to buy smartphones made by company that manufactures iPhones and PlayStations.
The InFocus brand is already active in India and from a certain perspective, the Indian market has traits that are to the Kenyan market.
It will, therefore, be interesting to see if the company will be able to use the lessons learnt from the Indian market and apply them locally.
