Smartphones in Kenya are increasingly becoming fast consumer moving goods as Kenyans move to replace their old ones with newer models.
HMD Global has announced the availability of Nokia 7.2 in the Kenyan market. This is after the successful pre-order that kicked off on September 17.
Oppo has also announced the launch of their latest A9 2020 in Kenya creating competition in the already enlightened market.
The Nokia 7.2 smartphone combines a triple camera and PureDisplay featuring a 48MP triple camera with Quad Pixel technology and ZEISS Optics.
Nokia 7.2 also premiers a range of ZEISS bokeh styles, exclusive to Nokia smartphones, that recreate the way ZEISS lenses produce high visual impact and signature blur.
Satin glass back
Senior Business Manager, HMD Global Gopher Ogembo, said, “We aim to push the limits on what fans can get from one of our popular Nokia 7 series smartphones. The Nokia 7.2 offers fans advanced tools to express their creativity.”
