Four months after its launch in Kenya, HMD Global has announced a price cut for the Nokia 1 Plus, a device that was first unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, at the start of the year.
Initially priced at Kshs 9,500, the Nokia 1 Plus is now available for Kshs 8,300, a 14% discount that makes it an even more attractive option for first-time smartphone buyers or those on a tight budget.
With a 5.45-inch display and Android Pie (Go edition), the Nokia 1 Plus offers a simple way to experience Android without breaking the bank. The device is also eligible for future software updates, a commitment that sets it apart from other entry-level smartphones.
For those considering a switch to the Nokia brand, this price cut may be just the incentive needed. As one review noted, HMD Global's commitment to software updates is a major advantage at this level, where many manufacturers prioritize hardware upgrades over software updates.
