TECNO, iTel and Infinix are all sub-brands of TRANSSION HOLDINGS and they jointly control more than 38% mobile phone market share in the first quarter of 2018, compared to 23% of Samsung. Although, Samsung sits top ahead of other mobile brands in Africa.
Another brand that’s waxing strong in Africa market is Huawei, they sit 4th with over 1.1 million devices sold in the Q1.
Do you think this is accurate considering the rate at which new brands are swarming into Africa? Or perhaps, do you think there are other brands that deserve to be on that list?
