Jumia now offering budget-friendly X-touch tablet in Nigeria

Jumia is one of Nigeria’s largest online retail stores and offers a range products from women’s high-heels to cheap smartphones and books. To further help prove itself as a leading electronics store, the ecommerce outfit recently announced that it will be exclusively stocking the cost-friendly yet capable X-touch tablet.

The X-touch is said to be one of the best tablet brands currently available in Nigeria with specifications to fit a wide range of tablet users. The tablet is available in a range of different models with numerous functions from Wi-Fi, a long battery life and a front camera for video conferencing.

CEO of Jumia Nigeria Jeremy Doutte stated “The X-touch is one of our best-sellers in the computing category. It also shows great quality with technology and innovation.”

The Nigerian Communication Commission revealed last year that 78% of the Nigerian population are mobile subscribers, of which about 40% use smartphones. With Africa becoming more and more mobile driven, the West African ecommerce site launched an Android app last year.

The company has decided to leverage this technology by introducing an exclusive, attractive smart device after seeing a traffic increase of its mobile users.

The X-touch is suitable for everyone from students to working class and children. Doutte further touts the X-touch to be the most affordable high quality tablet currently available on the market.

The Rocket Internet driven venture is offering the most affordable pocket size tablet with the latest version of the X-touch tablet series, the PL71.

Given the technical specs, the PL71 series comes in various colors with the latest android operating system 4.0, 2G, Wi-Fi, 512MB ram, 8 GB storage space, HDD and Bluetooth. It is also able to make phone and video calls.
