The Nokia G20 is the latest from the company to launch in Kenya. This phone was launched in the country last week and is available in stores from Ksh 19,000. You can get the phone for as low as Ksh 15,000 on Jumia so that should be your option if you want a good deal. The Nokia G20 is part of the company’s G series which is its latest series on the market.
With the G series, the company is promising better battery life and performance at an affordable cost. This is all talk at this point and we will have to test the phones in real world environments to see if they live up to their promises. HMD Global has not had it easy competing with some of the popular Chinese manufacturers or even Samsung.
With the Nokia G20, the company hopes to attract new customers who want a modern phone with specs that can match some of the other manufacturers. At Ksh 19,000, the G20 is facing some steep competition and it will not be easy to stand out. Below is a look at some of the Nokia G20 specifications to help you decide if it is a phone worth buying.
