If you talk of products from the East, Xiaomi has its special place. While Apple and Samsung strive to conquer the markets in North America and Europe, the Mi brand is a darling to those that love perfection at its simplest.
Xiaomi is often called the Apple of China, because it evokes a similar kind of favour in China as Apple does in the US. It is only surprising to know that you will not find a physical store anywhere in the world reselling these phones; except in China, Russia and India.
In Uganda, Xiaomi phones have gained prominence on Jumia, with actual sales having started mid this year. Let’s take a look at the Xiaomi phones you can get while here in Uganda.
