Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I buy technology products in Zambia?
Major retailers include Game Stores (Lusaka, Kitwe, Ndola), MTN and Airtel shops for smartphones, and online platforms like Ubuy Zambia and Mobile57. Game Stores offers the widest selection with financing options and manufacturer warranties.
Are electronics more expensive in Zambia than other countries?
Yes, technology products in Zambia typically cost 15-30% more than in South Africa or the US due to import duties (25%), VAT (16%), and shipping costs. Budget brands like Tecno and Infinix offer better value locally as they have direct distribution networks.
Can I buy electronics on installment plans in Zambia?
Yes, Game Stores offers hire-purchase and lay-by options. MTN and Airtel also provide device financing bundled with data plans. Some shops on Cairo Road in Lusaka accept mobile money payments in installments.
Should I buy new or second-hand electronics?
New products come with manufacturer warranty (typically 1 year). Second-hand phones and laptops are available at lower prices but carry risks. If buying used, check for original IMEI verification and test all features before purchase.
What brands are most popular in Zambia?
For smartphones, Tecno leads the market followed by Samsung, Infinix, and Apple. For laptops, HP is the most popular, followed by Dell and Lenovo. Hisense dominates the TV market, while Samsung leads in premium appliances.
Do technology products in Zambia come with local warranty?
Products from authorized dealers (Game Stores, MTN shops, authorized brand stores) come with local warranty honored in Zambia. Products imported through Ubuy or private sellers may only have international warranty, which can be difficult to claim.
