I had a look at the top affordable Smartphones below $200 and I think it’s a great idea to share some of them with you. The trick is, you are able to get an unlocked phone that shall be shipped to Uganda directly from Amazon.
Amazon is an enormous online shopping platform whose HQ is located in the USA, it is like Jumia in Africa, working worldwide and shipping to every part of the globe with an exception of a few unreachable geographical locations. Below I will list for you the deals I hunted down for you and you will choose your best catch out of the basket.
