The Huawei Nova 7i is the next device from the company to make its way to Kenya. The phone has not been announced officially but that should be happening soon. The phone is currently available through Jumia for Ksh 30,000.
The Huawei Nova 7i in Kenya will be the second Nova device from the company to launch in the country. It is the rebranded Nova 6 SE that the company launched in its home country of China last year. The phone is finally coming to Kenya and will join the growing list of Huawei devices launched in the country this year.
The Nova 7i does not come with Google Play Services and that will definitely be a challenge for the company. The recently unveiled Huawei Y7p does not have Google Play Services but is very much usable in Kenya and Nova 7i should not be any different.
Below are some of the key specifications of the Nova 7i.
