This could be a huge opportunity for any aspiring entrepreneur with a background in electrical engineering. Get hold of some mediatek kits and start producing phones in africa.
- quanticle 15y agoThere are 2 problems with that strategy. First, its unlikely that the locally produced phone will be at a price advantage. There's not much of a difference between importing components and assembling the phone on-site and importing a pre-assembled phone. Second, the Chinese phone scene, in terms of innovation, is bigger than the software scene in Silicon Valley. Its unlikely that any African manufacturer would be able to match the Chinese hardware community in terms of innovation.
