Huawei Technologies Co Ltd, the Chinese multinational networking, telecommunications equipment and services company, on Thursday launched a new mobile phone in Kenya: the Y5 Prime 2018.

It will retail at a recommended price of $99 on Jumia.com, an online retailer and retail stores across the country.

Derek Duh, Huawei Mobile Kenya marketing head, said that the phone is aimed at appealing to tech savvy and socially fashionable youth as the company looks to increase market share by at least 40 percent.

Duh said the phone meets consumers' interest on big memory (2GB+16GB), 4G LTE network and has a 18:9 full view display and excellent photo-taking features.
