Kenya's smartphone market is witnessing a surge in demand for new devices, with consumers eager to upgrade to the latest models.
On September 17, HMD Global launched the pre-order for the Nokia 7.2 in Kenya, which has now become available in the market.
Meanwhile, Oppo has announced the launch of its latest A9 2020 in Kenya, creating competition in the already vibrant market.
The Nokia 7.2 features a triple camera setup, including a 48MP primary sensor with Quad Pixel technology and ZEISS Optics, as well as a range of ZEISS bokeh styles.
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.”
“In combination with the beautifully patterned satin glass back, Nokia 7.2 packs design innovation and stunning imaging performance, with two-day battery life, into a smartphone for aspiring creators across the world at a truly incredible price,” Ogembo added.
The Nokia 7.2 is the first in the Nokia smartphone portfolio to feature a triple camera setup, crafted from a polymer composite that is twice as strong as polycarbonate and half the weight of aluminium.
The phone features a gently curved design, with tough Corning Gorilla Glass protecting both the front and the back, and is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 Mobile Platform.
Nokia 7.2 comes with a dedicated Google Assistant button for quick access and users will receive a 3-month membership trial to Google One at no extra cost.
On the other hand, Oppo's A9 2020 features a 48MP Ultra-Wide Quad Camera, Dual Stereo Speakers, and a 5,000mAh Ultra Battery, allowing for all shooting angles and all scenarios.
Shooting video is also better than never before with 4K video technology, and the phone boasts Dual Stereo Speakers that offer higher volumes and improved sound quality, and Dolby Atmos sound effects for the very best sound, video and gaming experience anytime, anywhere.
Kenya’s OPPO Brand Manager, Jesse Wu, says, “With the launch of OPPO A9 2020, we are ready to serve the market with smartphones that incorporate all the era-defining features and comes with an affordable price tag.”
