Motorola Inc. has unveiled its highly anticipated product, the Motorola MILESTONE XT720 smartphone, in Kenya, aiming to compete with Huawei and Samsung Android devices. Currently, Huawei Android smartphones enjoy a significant market share in Kenya. However, the introduction of the Motorola MILESTONE XT720 is expected to have a substantial impact on the current market dynamics, thanks to its unique strengths that address major drawbacks experienced with Huawei handsets, such as battery life issues in models like the Huawei U8150.
While both Huawei and Motorola share the strengths of using the Android operating system, Motorola MILESTONE XT720 excels in terms of hardware compared to Huawei smartphones. It stands out as one of the world's slimmest Android-powered smartphones available in the Kenyan retail market. While major mobile phone manufacturers like Samsung and Sony Ericsson have embraced the Android operating system, Nokia, despite its historical dominance in the Kenyan mobile handset market, still clings to the outdated Symbian-based operating system in smartphones like the Nokia E7.
The release of the Motorola MILESTONE XT720 is expected to establish Motorola's prowess in producing cutting-edge technology smartphones, further solidifying its position in the industry.
