Yangon’s mobile phone market rebounds in Sept after 3-month slump

The mobile phone market in Yangon Region slowed down over the last three months, from June to August. However, it bounced back in September, and mobile phones worth between K300,000 and K400,000 have been selling well.
“Mobile phones cost between K300,000 and K400,000 are now selling better than others. People would rather choose phones worth this amount, and they can’t afford phones worth more than it,” said an official from Winn Mobile Yangon (mobile phone, accessories and service).
People who like games buy expensive phones, and the mobile phone market has overcome a dull moment, he said. Further, the second-hand phone market has also been doing well, and some choose second-hand phones if they like the brands.
“Second-hand phone price varies depending on their models. When phones which are good for use are out of stock at new phone shops, they go to second-hand phone shops. Some who can’t afford expensive phones buy used ones, too,” he said. — Thit Taw/ZS/ED
