Update:
We have been expecting the new Y9 Prime to launch this month. It seems the device is now official with both Huawei and Jumia revealing the full specifications, and the latter revealing the price of the new device.
Yes, this is a good deal at Ksh. 24,999. It is actually an incredible deal. At this price point, Huawei is asking you to consider a powerful device that competes with the likes of the OPPO F11, F11 Pro, and other 30k phones. You’re getting an incredible processor in the 710F, USB type-C, Android 9 Pie, and a cool 128GB of internal storage, with the option to expand.
If you pick it up on Jumia, with this deal, you also get free Bluetooth headphones.
