Techno Mobile, one of the world's leading smartphones manufacturers on Monday unveiled the Techno Phantom V Flip 5G device in Kenya.

The phone is packed with cutting-edge features and a remarkable design.

Speaking during the launch in Nairobi, Techno Brand Manager, Peter Shi said the phone promises to high level interaction with technology.

“Catering to the discerning tastes of the digital afficionados, this much-anticipated release promises to redefine our interaction with technology in the most profound way.”

He added, "The launch of this device is poised to captivate the imagination of tech connoisseurs, particularly women aged 18-35, inhabiting Kenya's vibrant urban landscapes. Its not merely a smartphone; it's a lifestyle, a fusion of art and technology."

The device assembly factory was set-up as a joint venture of local Mobile Network Operators and International device manufacturers.

The phones which will be available countrywide at Faiba shops and dealer stores as well as Safaricom shops and Masoko online platform, will retail from Sh7499.

The factory which is in fulfillment of government’s promise to establish local smartphone assembly capacity in Kenya, has been built with a capacity to produce up to 3 million mobile phone units annually.

“This assembly plant will support government’s agenda to enhance digital inclusion in the country. We have been able to achieve affordability through a collaborative approach that comprises industry partnership and favourable government policies,” said Joshua Chepkwony, Chairman of EADAK and Chairman of Jamii Telecom.

It is projected that the factory will generate between 300 and 500 direct jobs.
