Nokia 2 arrives in Kenya to retail for Kes 11,000

HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, today announces that the Nokia 2 is now available to buy from mobile phone service provider Safaricom and general retail stores for Kes 11,000.

With two-day battery lifeⁱ, the Nokia 2 is built to keep going long after other smartphones need recharging. But its impressive battery life doesn’t come at the expense of performance. Combining a Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ Mobile Platform and a 5-inch, high-quality display with the pure, secure and up to date Android™ experience, the Nokia 2 offers technology that you can depend on, all day every day.

Freedom to do more

It’s not just about the high-capacity 4100 mAh battery, the 5-inch LTPS LCD HD display offers a bright, crisp viewing experience while delivering lower power consumption. The Nokia 2 gives you the freedom to fully immerse yourself in continuous entertainment – from HD videos and crisp, clear photos to your favourite songs, social media, and web browsing – without worrying about running out of battery.

With an 8MP rear camera featuring automatic scene detection and auto focus, the Nokia 2 ensures you get fantastic shots every time. And using the 5MP front camera, you can capture the moment from any angle. You will always have the extra capacity you need for the memories you capture with its dedicated memory card slot and unlimited[i] photo and video uploads to Google Photos.

Built to last in every way

The Nokia 2’s sleek frame is precision-machined from a single block of aluminium, while Corning Gorilla Glass is complemented by sculpted polycarbonate on the back. This delivers both a great feel and the build-quality you expect from a Nokia smartphone.

Always pure, secure and up-to-date Android

Nokia smartphones always offer a pure, secure and up-to-date Android experience, with incredible features like Google Assistant but no preinstalls or skins. Launching with Android Nougat and Android Oreo ready, the Nokia 2 receives monthly security updates so you can be sure that your smartphone is safe and up-to-date.

Gopher Ogembo, Senior Business Manager, HMD Global, said: “We have created a smartphone people can rely on without subconsciously rationing their battery usage to last the day. Every component of the Nokia 2 – from the display to battery, chipset to system design – has been engineered to draw as little power as possible from the huge battery. You don’t have to do less with it to preserve longevity, it has been built to give you the freedom to do more.”

The Nokia 2 is available in Kenya starting 04 December 2017. It comes in two colours – Pewter/Black and Pewter/White. The Nokia 2 will be available from Kes 11,000 in both dual and single SIM variants.
