HMD Global has announced the Nokia 1 Plus is down to KES. 6,999 for Jumia Black Friday. If you’ve been eyeing it, it is a good time to try and get one.
The Nokia 1 Plus is an Android Go device with 1GB RAM, 8GB storage and supports 4G LTE Networks. It started at KES. 9,500, later on reduced to KES. 8,300.
With its specs, it competes with many Android Go devices in the market. The best of the Android GO family being Xiaomi’s Redmi GO which is currently only KES. 4,999 with double storage compared to the Nokia 1 Plus. Between the two, I’d go with the Redmi GO, but if you want something that’s clean, and assured of updates, Nokia is your option.
