<h2>A note from our market</h2>
We now have Samsung and Redmi phones available for purchase on Pindula. Here’s some background on this:
Since we started retailing mobile phones, we shied away from selling phones not made by Transsion (itel, Tecno,Infinix). These were the reasons:
– Transsion offers 12 months warranty
– Maintenance for Transsion phones can happen easily as original parts are available locally
– Transsion phones are guaranteed to be brand new
As a result, we would only sell Samsung, Huawei, Redmi…etc phones here and there if a customer insisted and we could source.
<h2>Our approach</h2>
Ultimately, with mobile phones here’s our approach:
– We charge a fair price to make it as affordable as our business can sustain. Our prices are typically very low – so low that sometimes customers ask us if the devices are fake 🤔.  Ofcourse these are genuine,  it’s just that other retailers muHarare umu will hit people with 100% profit on a phone😨
– We want you to be happy with the phone – on the day you buy, a week later, a month, 6 months, a year later… We want our customers to feel really glad that we, as a business, exist
<h2>Given this background, here’s what we’re learning:</h2>
Fans of Itel and Tecno are really happy, yes…. but those of you who prefer the other brands (and will not be caught dead using an Itel!😁) feel left out. You tell us something along the lines of:
<blockquote>“I have been on Pindula since you guys started and I love being part of this community… but I prefer Samsung, so I have to look elsewhere for a phone!”</blockquote>
We’re also finding that people using Samsung, Huawei etc… actually understand 12-month manufacturer warranty is not on the table and they are generally ok with this. People receive phones from the diaspora, and they already know warranty haipo.
There are people that do not mind refurbished phones as long as the seller is clear with them about this and can offer a backup service for the phone. What people hate are sellers who lie about it.
So, starting last week we started to make available some Samsung and Redmi devices. Our warranty for these devices is 6 months. The warranty is backed by Pindula and not by the manufacturer. We cover the phone fully if it turns out to be faulty. Of course, we will not cover dropping or liquid damage. We’ll replace it or have it fixed for free.
The phone is also backed by what our customers already know about Pindula:
– If you’re not happy (a day in, a week in, a year) we will work hard to solve the problem. And we will solve it even at a significant cost to us.
– Always the truth. We will never lie to you even if the truth is uncomfortable. There’s just too much lying already in Zim business and politics, and we don’t want to be part of that.

Pindula News

We now have Samsung and Redmi phones available. Here's why

ZESA electricity outages and load-shedding are still a big problem in Zimbabwe, so how long a battery phone lasts is very important. Worse, there are a lot of new residential suburbs where house owners do not have electricity installed at all.
Pindula has compiled a list of phones with the biggest batteries available here in Zimbabwe.
It is important to know however that having the biggest capacity battery does not automatically mean the longest-lasting battery. The <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2023/05/18/tips-taking-care-of-your-phone-battery-so-it-lasts-longer/">battery life is affected by a lot of things</a>. A phone may have a very big battery mAh but poor power management. With Samsungs, for example, the Galaxy S23 Ultra has the same 5,000 mAh size battery as Galaxy S22 Ultra, but it lasts much longer because of its more power-efficient Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor.
It is also common for budget mobile phones, such as itel and Tecno, to have higher battery-size lots of inbuilt apps always running that cannot be turned off. This uses more battery.
<h2>Itel P40 (6,000 mAh)</h2>

<h2>Tecno Pova 3 (7,000 mAh)</h2>

<h2>Doogee S89 (12,000 mAh)</h2>
<figure aria-describedby="caption-attachment-257635" class="wp-caption alignnone" id="attachment_257635" style="width: 321px"><img alt="Doogee S89" class="wp-image-257635" decoding="async" height="180" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 321px) 100vw, 321px" src="https://news.pindula.co.zw/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Doogee-S89-water-resistance.jpg" srcset="https://news.pindula.co.zw/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Doogee-S89-water-resistance.jpg 1500w, https://news.pindula.co.zw/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Doogee-S89-water-resistance-300x168.jpg 300w, https://news.pindula.co.zw/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Doogee-S89-water-resistance-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https://news.pindula.co.zw/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Doogee-S89-water-resistance-768x431.jpg 768w, https://news.pindula.co.zw/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Doogee-S89-water-resistance-1320x741.jpg 1320w" width="321"/><figcaption class="wp-caption-text" id="caption-attachment-257635">The Doogee S89 rugged phone.</figcaption></figure>
Doogee is surprisingly not a very popular brand locally compared to, say, Samsung and Huawei. This particular <a href="https://ruggedworld.co.zw/product/doogee-s89pro-rugged-smartphone-available-in-harare-zimbabwe/">Doogee S89 which is available in Zimbabwe</a> comes with a 12000 mAh battery.

Disclosure: Pindula is an official online retailer of the itel and Tecno brands in Zimbabwe.

Affordable Mobile Phones With The Biggest Batteries

Data from global analytics company <a href="https://gs.statcounter.com/vendor-market-share/mobile/zimbabwe/#monthly-202201-202212-bar">StatCounter</a> shows that Samsung has continued to be the most popular phone brand in Zimbabwe in 2022.
Samsung mobile phones had 33% market share in the country. 
Huawei is a distant second with 21% market share. The third most popular device brand in Zimbabwe is iPhone, the Apple smartphone, which has 13% market share.
The third and Fourth most popular mobile phone brands are Itel and Tecno which have 11% and 6% market share respectively. Other notable but relatively less popular brands include Nokia, Xiaomi, and Infinix.
StatCounter is a web analytics service that claims to calculate stats on the basis of more than 5 billion page views per month, by people from all over the world onto some 1.5 million member sites. it’s one of the few companies globally that collates this data and makes it available to the public.
Given that the method of data collection considers phones that can connect to the internet, this leaves out basic and feature phones which are not designed for internet connectivity. There is some evidence that features phones are quite popular in Zimbabwe. Including them would likely change the ranking.
The picture of the data generally agrees with data from websites in Zimbabwe (specifically, Pindula and Techzim).
<h2>Popular Samsung Phones</h2>
According to that local data, the most popular Samsung phone in Zimbabwe in 2022 was the Samsung A12. This was followed by Samsung A21s, then Samsung A32, then A2 Core, the Samsung 10s, and Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime Plus. 
Samsung phones are generally imported into the country as grey imports. These can be brand new as well as refurbished ones. Zimbabweans have generally shied away from buying from official Samsung channels due to high prices.
<h2>Popular Huawei Phones</h2>
As for Huawei, the local data shows that the most popular model in 2022 was the P30 Lite. This is followed by the Y series devices Y9 Prime, Y5 Prime, Y5 Lite and Y7. There is also P20 Lite, P30 Pro, Honour 4x and Y9 but these are relatively less popular.
<h2>Popular Itel Phones</h2>
According to data the most popular Itel phones in Zimbabwe in 2020 include Vision 1 Plus, A16 Plus, A56 Lite (and Pro), P15, and Itel A36. These are itel phones released between 2019 and 2021.
<h2>Popular Tecno Phones</h2>
As for Tecno mobile phones, the most popular are just Spark 7 and Spark 6 Go. Just as with Itel, these are phones from several years ago, showing slow uptake of new releases by both Tecno and Itel.
<h2>Popular Gtel Phones</h2>
Even though Gtel does not show prominently as a popular phone brand in the country as per global stats, some of its models have been popular enough locally to rival the major brand models. Local data suggests that the Gtel Infinity is the most popular Gtel phone in the country. This model is followed by the Infinity 8s.
