AG Mobile, a privately owned South African mobile technology has been launched in Nigeria.
The launch is the ninth in African countries where the phones and tablets are available and the first where it is launched independently of a retail partner.
According to Anthony Goodman, AG Mobile CEO, this development forms part of the brand’s expansion strategy to provide more Africans with affordable and quality products, while investing in markets that offer mutually beneficial opportunities.
“As a proudly African brand we believe that we will bring great value to Nigeria. We’ve started by building relationships with well-respected brands such as MTN, Etisalat, Ringo and Jumia, creating employment opportunities and supporting the network’s objectives to advance Nigeria’s connectivity from 2G to 3G.”
Goodman added that, “While our initial marketing roll-out covers Lagos, Abuja, Port-Harcourt and Kano, our reach is national.
Our Android, feature-rich dealers are available online via Jumia from MTN and Ringo Arena in the Computer Village and will be rolling out similar outlets where customers can experiment with live devices before they purchase them. Any repairs issues will be administered at an in-country repair centre.”
Haven launched nearly 60 device models, Goodman assures that the brand meets the needs of its customers, stressing that today’s phone users want devices with advanced specifications and features, that are supported by exceptional customer service.
He maintained that the high-level functionality of AG Mobile is largely due to an established strategic partnership with MediaTek Inc; a global leader in fables semiconductor design.
“MediaTek’s smartphone chipset platforms equip our devices with multi-core processors, excellent power efficiency and comprehensive network technologies support. Our relationship is based on shared goals to drive innovation and make technology more affordable and accessible for more people.”
Some of AG Mobile range in Nigeria includes AG Mobile Ghost, AG Mobile Style, AG Mobile Zoom and AG Mobile Boost.
