Luthuli Avenue

Luthuli Avenue can be considered Nairobi’s open market for mobile phones. The entire avenue is lined with phone stores all over, including the basements. If you have enough patience and a golden mouth, you can get the best deals on anything phone related. Vendors in this part of town stock everything from flashy phone cases for basically any make and model out there, SD Cards, glass protectors, name it, they have it.

Repair shops in this part of town are also pretty good, so if you have a cracked screen, this is where to get help. A word of caution however, Luthuli is also famous for knock-offs. Ask for a Galaxy S9 and you will be presented with three seemingly identical devices, all at different prices. Be careful, else you might end up leaving Luthuli with a clone device.

 

Smartcell Technologies

HTC is like an official HTC service centre in Nairobi. They stock various models of HTC devices from the past 3 or 4 generations. Smarcell Technologies is located along Kenyatta Avenue, Phoenix House, 2nd Floor, Nairobi CBD.
These guys also offer accessories and spare parts for HTC and other devices. Repairs for different models of HTC phones and most other Android devices are done in house at relatively fair prices.
