Kenyans like bargaining, but there is one street in Nairobi where you will be ashamed of bargaining-Luthuli Avenue. At Luthuli all variety of smartphones are available…and this is why may people like trooping to the street.
This street is known for selling electronics,smartphones,digital TVs and anything you want for entertainment. Where this particular street scores is when it comes to smartphones. If you would like to purchase cheap or expensive iPhone, Samsung, Sony,HTC,Infinix,Tecno,Lenovo-name them, you will find them in a single shop. At first you will think the shop is small and ignore passing by, but if you make a point of window shopping, you will be shocked. The latest smartphones are stocked..and they are very genuine.
What I know about this city is that fake smartphones are all over, but at Luthuli, you will be assured of buying a genuine phone with a sale warrant of at least one year.
The only difference with phones sold by online companies like Jumia and Kilimall, and of course Safaricom is the cost.At Luthuli, you are sure of buying a phone which is cheaper than one sold by Safaricom or Airtel .The shops located at Luthuli allows you to negotiate and lower the cost to a pocket friendly price. If for instance a phone is sold at Ksh 20,000 at Safaricom,I can assure you the same phone will cost Ksh15,000 at Luthuli-maybe it’s because of tax and operational costs.
Kenyans always believe that buying a phone from a prestigious shop will make it unique, which is not the case.It feels good to know that you have saved something because of making the right decision.
