Microsoft and Huawei has
unveiled a new Windows Phone
designed specifically for Africa,
one of the most rapidly-growing
technology markets in the world.
This phone,(HUAWEI 4AFRIKA) is known to be the first in a series of
smart devices being specially
developed for the Africa continent and
released as also a part of Microsoft's new 4Afrika Initiative,
which also kicked off today.
Designed specifically as an
affordable option for students,
small businesses, developers, and for
first-time smartphone owners,
the HUAWEI 4AFRIKA with
Windows Phone 8 will make its
debut later this month in seven
countries: Angola, Egypt, Ivory
Coast, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria,
and South Africa.
It is featured with a 4-inch 480 x 800
display, dual-core 1.2 GHz
Snapdragon processor, front and
rear-facing cameras, and 4GB of
internal storage—all packaged
into a 10 millimeter-thin case.
According to Huawei, the phone
delivers a standby time of 420 hours and with the condition of the
power sector in Africa, its built-in power-saving
technology is a nice offer.
The phone also entails preloaded custom apps created by
African developers for African
consumers and feature a market-
specific store within the larger
Windows Phone Store for
downloading locally-relevant
apps and content.
I guess this is good news to Africa with Africa.
The president of Microsoft International- Jean-philippe Cuortois
stated: "We believe there has
never been a better time to
invest in Africa and that access to
technology—particularly cloud
services and smart devices—can
and will serve as a great
accelerator for African
competitiveness,"
I'm made to believe that the predictions that smartphones
and other wireless devices will
serve as the primary
way most Africans access the
Internet, is greatly un-folding because the HUAWEI 4AFRIKA is not only
affordable but stylish, with it's availability
in blue, red, black, and white colours.
