Mexican electronics manufacturer, Ghia, has this week launched its clumsily named GK3G smart featurephone with KaiOS in the Central American country.

It will be available in a surprisingly large 25k retailers, distributors, and websites nationwide.

We note there has been a flurry of new KaiOS models in Mexico in the past year, from Ghia, Lanix, and also Alcatel.

KaiOS is struggling in Asia and Africa, and the low-cost platform is trying to ramp up its activities across Latin America, by targeting 2G and 3G upgraders who want to spend less than US$50.
