This is one of the latest from HMD Global to launch in Kenya. HMD Global has not been aggressive when pushing its smartphones in Kenya and thus you do not hear much about them and they do not sell that well too.

Manufacturers like Xiaomi, Realme, Infinix and Tecno have perfected their craft, outshining the likes of HMD Global. …
