Considering we’re living in days of restricted movement, it has become prudent and very necessary to purchase items online and have them up for delivery. eCommerce and item delivery sites have been embraced big time as we all play our part to fight the pandemic.
The fact that we are in the middle of a pandemic and staying indoors also comes with the fact that we’re on our phones more and many people have found the need for good performing phones for a good user experience.
For that reason, we’ve been looking through the eCommerce site Masoko for the variety of Nokia phones they have and here’s a list that we’ve found. Prices range from budget phones to slightly priced ones but they’re all certainly within manageable range.
Nokia C2
This phone hit the Kenyan market towards the end of April with the price of Kshs8,199/-. It is a 4G enabled handset with a 5.7” HD+ screen, and comes with an impressive 2800mAh battery which can last the average user from morning to evening. Even in instances that it may not last all day, some users are lucky because they’re working from home and are able to charge afresh at some point in the day. It has an internal storage of 16GB ROM and 1GB Ram which is quite good for that price point, and has a free cover to keep the phone safe.
It also comes with Android Go. With Android, there is an app for everything. And with Android Go, apps are lighter and easier on data. The fact that they’re direct from Google means that we’re dealing with high security and zero bloatware.
The Nokia C2 also comes with The Nokia C2 also comes with the Google Assistant button – the fastest way to your Google Assistant.
Good news. Masoko has a 6% discount and you can now get the phone at Ksh.7,699/-.
Nokia 2.3
This one comes at a slightly higher but still manageable price of 12,199/-, and with good reason. At 4000mAh, it has a larger battery capacity, and a bigger screen of 6.2”. Internal storage is 32GB ROM, double that of the C2, and RAM is 2GB meaning it is speedier. Users from it off Masoko get a free 2,000 worth of airtime – quite a timely gift at this time when more talk time and data is needed to keep up with our loved ones who we can’t visit physically.
The Nokia 2.3 is a dual SIM and has a 5MP and a 2MP rear camera. Check out the deal here.
Nokia 3.2
Let’s start with the good news that the phone currently has a 7% discount on Masoko. Down from Ksh.13,249/- you can now get it for Ksh.12,299/-.
The gadget has a 6.26” screen, 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM of internal storage. The camera is also better at 5MP front and 13MP back. A bigger screen certainly offers a better user experience especially for people wishing to play games or watch videos on their phones.
It is powered by a 4000mAh battery and at the same time, it has inbuilt Artificial Intelligence to minimize app and power consumption. A single charge can last upto 2 days!
With this one, you also get fast access to Google Assistant with the dedicated button. Security is also nothing to worry about as Nokia smartphones get 2 years of software upgrades and monthly security updates.
Nokia 4.2
This also has a discount on Masoko. With an initial price of Ksh.16,699/-, you can get it at Ksh.15,699/-
It has a 5.7” screen, 3GB RAM and 32GB ROM. It has a micro SD card slot and memory can be expanded upto 400GB – quite a bit of space to save your selfies, fun videos with the girls and if you’re like me, several episodes of series to watch on the go. It also has impressive cameras with the back being 13MP and the front 8MP.
Nokia 4.2 has a pleasingly premium look and feel, and is designed to offer the latest smartphone innovations at a truly accessible price. With this phone, customers can do everything a flagship smartphone can do at a relatively affordable price.
Nokia 7.2
Quite a premium gadget with superior features this one. I must say that this is my most desired gadget at the moment considering the price and the features. Some of the most impressive features for me are the 64GM internal storage and my all time favourite on Nokia phones – Zeiss cameras.
Zeiss is a household name in imaging and why I remain in love with it is because it is what introduced me to beautiful superior phone photography. The 7.2 has a whopping 48MP camera and combined with Zeiss optics, this is a phone I would grab in a heartbeat.
