The OPPO A52 is now available in Kenya for Ksh 24,999. This is the latest from OPPO to launch in Kenya and at that price it will be competing with devices such as the Huawei Y8p. Both these are recent devices that were launched in Kenya weeks apart.
The OPPO A52 launch happens a few weeks after the launch of the OPPO A92 that is available in Kenya at a much higher price of Ksh 30,000. The A92 targets a different audience and comes with specs that are slighter better cameras than the ones on the A52. The two phones have almost the same specifications with the key differences being the RAM capacity and cameras.
With the launch of the OPPO A52, the company has also introduced its latest wireless earphones, the OPPO W11 in Kenya. These earphones will be available for Ksh 5,000 but those who buy them during the Jumia anniversary sale will get them for ksh 3,000.
