Vivo Y30 now available in Kenya as a Jumia Exclusive

Vivo Smartphone Kenya has announced its partnership with online retailer Jumia to exclusively unveil their latest Y-series device, the Vivo Y30. Earlier on the company had promised to be bringing in the device, and we had set our expected price point at KES. 20,000. We were way off-mark as the device will be retailing for KES. 16,999. And yes this is a deal: 17k for 4GB RAM and 128GB storage is a deal.

Being a Jumia exclusive, to get the device one will have to purchase it online. We are not sure how long this exclusivity will last – and whether or not we will be seeing the device listed on other platforms or available offline.
