The company became one of the largest electronics companies from the late 1990s to 2000, with its products being found across over 60 countries worldwide; they have also become established as Kenya’s most popular phone brand because of their phones’ quality and variety all prices points—giving them a competitive edge over other brands like Apple. The latter only offer high-end models for higher prices.

In Kenya, Oppo phones are one of the best middle-range devices available. They come in various colors and models, many being unlocked for use on different networks, which is great if you’re unsure what network to choose or want to switch providers while still using your current phone.
Some popular Oppo Phone Models available in Kenya are the Oppo reno5f, Oppo A54, Oppo A35, and Oppo F11 Pro.

Nokia reached its peak position in the mobile phone market (about 50% of worldwide sales) with its N-series smartphones, first introduced on November 11th, 1996, to February 22nd, 2005. However, phone brands in Kenya have changed very much since then, and Nokia could not regain a strong foothold ever since. This is because they are now more focused on network infrastructure from an IT perspective than on the manufacture of phones themselves.
