“Oops…. too bad. That’s over $200 (Ksh 26,000). Samsung gadgets are generally expensive, but the quality is there. You’d make the money in no time.”
Yuyu Odukoyas said:
“That’s about $200 (KSh 26,000). I think it’s not bad considering that the phone itself is now worth over a million. Also, the fingerprint technology is also embedded on screen.”

“Very cheap over there, I refused to change mine after realising that I have to pay 250euros (KSh 34,300). I rather get a new one than spending such amount for screen.
