For those who have been waiting for the Infinix HOT 2, I have some good news for you. I have received information that this phone will be coming to Kenya early next month on September 1. The phone may officially be launched as early as this week but will go on sale on Jumia as from Tuesday (September 1). Am still not sure about its retail price but I know it will not be expensive.
The Infinix Hot 2 takes over from the Infinix Hot (X507) which was one of the bestselling smartphones on Jumia. The Hot 2 will try to match this and given that it is part of Android One, I expect even better results.

Excellent! What this phone has at less than 100USD, it’s a fantastic deal.
Hoping motorola also start selling their Moto G(2015) here in Kenya.
It is a fantastic deal. We are also waiting for the Moto G but I doubt it will be here this year.
