5 awesome smartphones you can buy for R3,000 in South Africa
The performance of mid-range smartphones has improved dramatically recently, following several new model launches from premium brands including Huawei and Samsung.
Huawei began life in the more affordable segment, but has since made a play in recent years to compete with Apple and Samsung in the high-end space through its P and Mate range of phones. This month however, the Chinese based firm launched a series new mid-range Y Series smartphones in South Africa.
“Recently, the performance of mid-range phones has dramatically improved and Huawei has decided to bring these key features to the South African market,” said Likun Zhao, vice president Huawei Consumer Business Group Southern Africa.
“In today’s market, the devices competing in the same price range as the new Y Series often deliver uninspiring experiences,” said Zhao.
The Y Series offers users the features they need while providing a high-end experience, he said.
