HMD Global, the manufacturer of Nokia phones on Thursday introduced the Nokia 3.2 into the Kenyan market with a retail price of 13,999 shillings.

The Nokia 3.2 combines the biggest HD+ display for the price with our signature two-day battery life and is powered by the latest Android 9 Pie experience.

According to Mark Misumi, HMD Business Manager East Africa, owning an affordable smartphone shouldn’t lock you out of exciting features and the latest trends.

“We know how important a great display and two-day battery life is to many smartphone users, so we made sure we delivered on these qualities for the Nokia 3.2. And we didn’t stop there,” he said.

He also added that the company has put everything one would expect from the latest smartphone into an affordable package, from biometric face unlock and AI-powered features like Adaptive Battery to a more modern and personal way to interact with a smartphone through the dedicated Google Assistant button.

Features

Nokia 3.2 combines a larger battery than many premium smartphones with efficient hardware and software ingenuity. To squeeze every last drop out of the huge battery, the Adaptive Battery feature introduced in Android 9 Pie manages background applications using AI, learning from user behavior to know when to throttle or increase power to specific apps or processes.

It even has enough power that will last for more than a day with the largest display the company has ever put in a smartphone.

The Nokia 3.2 features an impressive 6.26” HD+ display so you’ll never struggle and strain to see more of your favorite movies, TV shows, and streams.

Powered by the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 429 mobile platform and available with up to 3/32GB memory configuration, the Nokia 3.2 will get through tasks with ease and it is also among the first Nokia smartphones to include a notification light.

The power button comes to life to alert you of notifications so you know when to unlock your phone and check your apps.

Personalized Experience

Premiering the Google Assistant button, the Nokia 3.2 will revolutionize the way you interact with your smartphone.

Simply press once for instant access to the Google Assistant to get directions, make calls, listen to music and get answers to your questions faster than ever before.

You can double press to receive a visual overview of your day from the Assistant with intelligent suggestions and personalized information, including transport info, bills that need paying and what you have in your calendar to make sure you never miss a meeting again.

By long pressing the button, you will activate a walkie-talkie mode, which lets the Google Assistant listen to you until you release it for long sentence queries.

Many of the premium features on the Nokia 3.2 are powered by AI, including face unlock to give you a quick, hands-free way to unlock your smartphone or exclusive Google Assistant actions to open apps quicker, including launching the camera app.
