Getting on 5G takes two things: a network signal and a phone that can use it. TECNO and Safaricom are teaming up to help with the second part through a limited-time price cut. The TECNO POVA Curve 2 5G drops from KES 55,999 to KES 44,999 until 31st October 2026. That is KES 11,000 off, or about 20 percent, and it makes an affordable 5G smartphone easier to reach for many Kenyans.
Why an Affordable 5G Smartphone Matters
Network coverage decides where 5G works, but the phone in your pocket decides whether you can use it. The Communications Authority of Kenya lists affordable devices alongside spectrum, infrastructure and clear regulation as keys to wider 5G benefits. Mildred Agoya, Head of Marketing at TECNO Kenya, said, “Through POVA, we want more Kenyans to experience what faster connectivity can enable in how they work, run businesses, communicate and access digital services.” An affordable 5G smartphone can help entrepreneurs, creators and students put that speed to daily use.
Extra Rewards for Earlier Buyers
The offer also looks back at people who bought the phone before the campaign began. Eligible earlier customers will receive a TECNO POP 20 smartphone at no extra cost, which they can claim through 0721987777 after verification. Customers who bought through Lipa Mdogo Mdogo will also get a one-month repayment pass waiver. Rewarding existing owners shows that an affordable 5G smartphone campaign can be fair to both new and early buyers.
The POVA Curve 2 5G packs an 8,000mAh battery, 45W fast charging and a slim 7.42mm body for long days away from a socket. The offer runs across the country until 31st October, so shoppers have about two weeks left to use it. A long-lasting battery and fast charging make an affordable 5G smartphone more useful for busy entrepreneurs and creators.
