Third week of the month, we give the best smartphone deals of January from Kilimall Uganda.
Working directly with global suppliers, Kilimall enables shoppers to buy smartphones directly from various markets across the world through their Global Shopping Service. Kilimall takes orders from shoppers, sources them from pre-qualified merchants then delivers directly to it’s customers. As a matter of fact, right now Kilimall Uganda is the best online marketplace in Uganda. In a day they can have over 100-300 sales made.
So, if you love a large screen smartphone with awesome specs and at afford prices from Kilimall Uganda, then you have to check out our list:
iPhone 7
The iPhone 7 is the latest flaghship of Apple, and this year, we expect to see the iPhone 8. It’s so rear to find iPhones sold in Uganda, most people tend to just order from online stores such as Ebay, Amazon, Aliexpress, Alibaba, to name a few, so as they are delivered to them. One or two problems when it comes to this, is that you might order for an iPhone that isn’t unlocked for it to be used with the existing carriers here in Uganda, or it’s priced highly and also the delivery takes long. For instance the iPhone 7 4.7-Inch variant that we decided to look at; in the Apple store, it’s priced at $649 with an addition of like $100 to be delivered to Uganda, Amazon fans can get one between $730-$800 but the company doesn’t ship products to Uganda (you need someone to bring it for you), Aliexpres it’s available at $809 and the estimated delivery time is 25-36 days at free shipping, Ebay is at $1190 shipping fee inclusive, so all that is a lot to process.
Kilimall Uganda, now makes it easy for you. The store has the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus in all variants, but we decided to go with the iPhone 4.7-Inch variant since it has a good deal this month. They have the Rose Gold and Gold priced at 3,107,300 UGX at 14% off discount compared to other variants.

Thus, last year saw Kilimall Uganda and Infinix Moblies partnered to launch the Infinix Hot 4 for the first time in Uganda during their Black Friday event; one of the biggest online shopping events ever in the world.
Many have acquired this phablet and I have to say, it’s really a hot deal on Kilimall Uganda.

The smartphone is priced at 319,000 UGX and comes with a 1 year warranty (This is a good deal since most of the smartphones bought these days don’t have warranties or don’t have warranties of that long).
