Speaking on the firm’s strategy for Africa, Amit Rupchandani, Managing Director at Obi Mobiles MENA, said: “Consumers are increasingly looking to upgrade from feature rich phones to smartphones. However, the high cost of investment on new-age devices is a huge deterrent for a large number of aspirational buyers. At Obi Mobiles, we believe by ticking off the right boxes, in terms of superior design and quality, desirable price points, and the support of strong channels that reach every segment of the market will help us succeed across Africa.”

So for the specs of the Obi launched devices:
