Mascom International stocks the Tecno T352 at KSh 2,800, brand new and sealed, with a 2.4-inch screen, a 2,500mAh battery, two SIM slots, FM radio and Bluetooth. It is a straightforward keypad phone with a little more room than most: the screen is larger than the 2.0-inch panels on many basic handsets, and a memory card slot takes cards up to 32GB for music. The Tecno T352 carries a 12-month warranty and is ready to test at our shop in the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or to order for delivery.
Designed for buyers who want a phone that simply works, the Tecno T352 handles calls, SMS, radio and music without data bundles or app updates. Grown-up children in Nairobi often buy one for a parent in Nyeri, Kisii or Kitale, because the bigger keypad screen is easier on older eyes. Others keep it as a backup handset in a work bag. Smartphones need charging every night and break when dropped on concrete. The Tecno T352 asks for far less care, and its large battery keeps going for days between charges. FM radio and stored music keep it useful on long journeys too.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell unboxed keypad phones of unknown origin, Mascom International sells the Tecno T352 sealed, with a receipt and a warranty claimed at our own counter. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the larger screen and the music slot are what tip them toward this model over cheaper keypad phones. It costs KSh 400 more than the three-SIM Tecno T354 and KSh 650 less than the Tecno T530. Come in to compare them side by side, or order the Tecno T352 on WhatsApp and pay on delivery.
Common Questions About the Tecno T352
What is the Tecno T352 price in Kenya?
The Tecno T352 sells for KSh 2,800 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. The price covers the handset, battery and charger, plus a 12-month warranty. You pay only when the phone arrives, by cash or M-Pesa. Within the same Tecno keypad range, the Tecno T354 costs KSh 2,400 and the Tecno T530 costs KSh 3,450. The Tecno T352 sits between them for buyers who want a larger screen and a memory card slot.
Tecno T352 or Tecno T354: which should I buy?
Pick the Tecno T352 if you want a 2.4-inch screen, FM radio, Bluetooth and a memory card slot for KSh 2,800. Pick the Tecno T354 if you need three SIM slots and can live with a 2.0-inch screen for KSh 2,400. Both carry a 2,500mAh battery, so endurance is similar. The Tecno T352 suits people who read a lot of SMS or play music. The Tecno T354 suits traders and riders running three numbers.
Can the Tecno T352 play music and FM radio without internet?
Yes, the Tecno T352 plays FM radio and stored music with no internet bundle at all. The memory card slot takes cards up to 32GB, enough for thousands of songs. FM radio lets you follow local stations, news and football commentary on the bus or at the shop. Because nothing streams, your airtime and data stay untouched. Bluetooth also lets you receive songs from a friend's phone, so filling the card does not need a computer.
Is the Tecno T352 a good phone for an elderly parent upcountry?
The Tecno T352 is a sensible choice for an elderly parent because it has physical keys, a 2.4-inch screen and a battery that lasts for days. There are no apps to update, no passwords to remember and no touchscreen to confuse. In homes where power is unreliable, fewer charges matter. Many Nairobi buyers send one home to parents in Murang'a or Kakamega with numbers already saved. Our staff can save contacts for you before dispatch if you ask.
Does the Tecno T352 work on Safaricom, Airtel and Telkom?
Yes, the Tecno T352 works on Safaricom, Airtel and Telkom, using the GSM 900 and 1800 bands listed for this model. Its two SIM slots let you keep any two of those lines active at once. Calls, SMS and USSD services such as M-Pesa and Airtel Money all work from the keypad. It is a GSM handset built for voice and text, so it does not offer 4G internet or WhatsApp.
Does the Tecno T352 camera take usable photos?
The Tecno T352 has a 0.08MP camera, which is a basic sensor best treated as a bonus rather than a reason to buy. It can capture a rough snapshot of a document number or a parcel label in good light. It will not produce photos worth printing or sharing on social media. If photos matter to you, a smartphone such as the Itel A100c at KSh 8,300 at Mascom International is a far better tool.
Is the Tecno T352 a good first phone for a child?
The Tecno T352 makes a sensible first phone for a child who commutes to day school, because it does calls and SMS without social media or browsing. Parents can reach the child, and the child can call home after a late matatu ride. A lost or broken phone at KSh 2,800 is a smaller worry than a lost smartphone. The memory card adds music for the journey. Check your school's phone policy before sending it along.
Who should buy the Tecno T352 and who should skip it?
Buy the Tecno T352 if you want calls, SMS, radio and music on a phone that rarely needs charging and has a screen easy to read. It suits parents, older relatives, students and anyone needing a backup handset. Skip it if you run three numbers; the Tecno T354 handles that for less. Skip it too if you need WhatsApp, banking apps or decent photos. For that, consider the Itel A90 128GB at KSh 10,300.
