Immediately after introducing the brand that is Xtouch in Nairobi, Robert Lian went on to introduce the devices that will be selling in the country and region. This is new territory but they have been doing business in other countries and had already launched and made inroads in South Africa and Nigeria, this is in the Africa continent, they are selling in Europe and Middle East countries too where Robert says they are growing quite fast. Tablets market is still largely unexplored worldwide. Below is their tablet portfolio to be sold in Kenya, three out of the 21 tablet range they already have:
Xtouch PF83
The PF83 is deemed by Xtouch as the premium iPad mini competitor. The messaging, design and size say it all. Infact the display is explicitly compared to the iPad mini with words like “The same IPS LCS as iPad mini”. It does look good design-wise with much having been borrowed from the Xtouch X3.

Do they have a dedicated outlet for this tablets or one would have to walk all over town in search of these?
Currently they are closing in vendors, but their main distribution is Redington. Jumia is also selling their devices.
Thanks, i actually looked at Jumia but they don’t have the PF83, i called CC and they confirmed it will be stocked by end of next week.
Great to know, as I was writing this, I noticed that it wasn’t among the ones available in Jumia.
