With the launch of new smartphones from leading brands happening this month, Jacky's Electronics , the UAE's leading multi-brand consumer electronics retailer, is offering key bundle deals and offers for smartphones at this year's Gitex Shopper Spring Edition.

"We see this year's April edition of Gitex Shopper as the year of the smartphone. With major launches happening from Samsung with the Galaxy S5; HTC with the One (m8); Nokia with the Android-based X-series devices; and Lenovo with the new Vibe Z, we expect customers to be spoilt for choice. We also anticipate Samsung to be the leader this year in terms of sales, with Lenovo, Nokia and HTC also experiencing growth in the category.

"From a supply side, we've had to work extremely hard with our suppliers to ensure we have enough stocks as we expect to sell more smartphones in the four-day event than we will have for the next two months combined. HTC, Nokia and Samsung have given us strong assurances that sufficient quantities for their new models will be available," said Ashish Panjabi, COO of Jacky's Electronics .

Panjabi also added that they are projecting a sales increase in the notebook category in terms. "Whenever there is a Gitex Shopper event, we always saw a growth in laptop sales due to discounts and bundles given. While smartphones will dominate the sales, laptop will still be a crowd drawer followed by tablets and televisions," he furthered.
