This year’s installment of the Jumia Mobile Week, which starts on May 30th was ‘kind of’ kicked off with a Tech Bloggers roundtable. Several Tech Bloggers across the Nigerian Mobile market gathered at the Jumia Head Office to decipher what exactly Jumia and its partner smartphone brands are planning for the biggest Mobile Sales Event of the year.
The roundtable, anchored by Bertille Guitton, Head of Communications for Jumia Nigeria and Olaoluwa Oloyede, PR Jumia Nigeria, congregated the nation’s finest in both the Tech Blogging world and Mobile Manufacturing business. Tecno, Lenovo, InnJoo, Infinix and Axa Mansard were present this year to discuss and argue with the bloggers. Bloggers who endorsed Jumia Mobile week include www.techrez.com, www.techcabal.com, www.geek.ng, www.techcityng.com, www.connectnigeria.com, www.justnaira.com, www.mytechportal.com, www.ebimablog.com(gadgetsng.com), www.misstechy.com, www.naij.com, www.stevenbergy.com, www.techsuplex.com, www.lowkeytech.com, www.brandiq.com, www.ogbongeblog.com, www.techpoint.ng, and www.androidnigeria.com.ng
It was virtually lived up to the hype, as Bloggers & brands (Lenovo, Infinix, Innjoo, Tecno & AXA Mansard) locked horns to dissect the 2016 Top Mobile Questions in Nigeria. The White Paper on Mobile Trends in Africa in 2016 done by Jumia was revealed during the roundtable with astonishing facts confirming Nigeria’s innovative and groundbreaking achievements in everything mobile. With 70% of customers accessing the Jumia website via a mobile and between 6 and 7 million smartphones sold nationwide in 2015, Nigeria is setting the pace.
A delicately poised argument ensued on pressing mobile issues like the pros & cons of big screens, factors other than the mega pixels that influence the quality of pictures, factors that influence customers purchase decisions in Nigeria and more.
