Best Xiaomi Smartphones in Kenya

If you’re in the market for a Xiaomi smartphone here in Kenya, then this guide is for you.

Xiaomi is a Chinese company that designs and manufactures consumer electronics. It was founded in the year 2010 in Beijing, China.

The company has gained popularity globally thanks to its feature-packed smartphones that are reasonably priced.

The first smartphones from Xiaomi mainly targeted consumers on a budget. Over the years, however, Xiaomi has also produced more expensive smartphones that compete with the premium options from Samsung and Apple.

In this guide, we’ll go over the best Xiaomi smartphones in Kenya and detail the key features of each model.

While Xiaomi smartphones are quite good and offer value for money, Xiaomi is still lagging behind Samsung and Apple when it comes to software updates.

This is especially noticeable with the company’s budget smartphones which tend to only receive updates for a short period of time before the support is discontinued.

This leads to the phone becoming slow and unresponsive, meaning you’ll need a new phone after three to four years or sooner.

Thankfully, the competitive price of Xiaomi smartphones does compensate for this. If you want a much longer-lasting smartphone, check out our Kenyan flagship smartphone guide.
