HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones is exciting many Ghanaians with the introduction of the new Nokia 2.1 with its unique features into the market.

The excitement on the new Nokia 2.1 is large because the device combines an incredible two-day battery life with a larger screen and dual front-front facing speakers giving Ghanaians everything they need for entertainment on the go.

Long lasting entertainment

Serving long-lasting entertainment needs for consumers who are always on the go, the Nokia 2.1 comes with a 2-day battery life, a large 5.5-inch HD screen and dual front-facing stereo speakers. The Nokia 2.1’s huge 4,000mAh battery now charges even faster so you can get back up and running even more quickly than before.

With its HD display 20% bigger than the original, you can enjoy high-definition videos on the go while the dual speakers with bespoke 3D formed stainless steel detail gives you an amazing stereo sound.

Quality and design, you expect from a Nokia phone

The upgraded Qualcomm™ Snapdragon® 425, 64-bit Mobile Platform gives fans the 50% faster and smoother performance they asked for with fast switching between apps. You can capture the action wherever you are with the Nokia 2.1’s 5MP front-facing selfie snapper or 8MP rear camera with autofocus.

Offering the quality and style you expect from a Nokia phone, Nokia 2.1’s sophisticated Nordic design and metallic accents guarantee that you will stand out from the crowd. Its sleek, rounded and ergonomically designed, inherently coloured polycarbonate back keeps your phone looking great even after long periods of use.

Speaking on the uniqueness of the new device, Olumide Balogun, Head of Marketing at HMD Global, West and Central Africa, said:

“Being able to rely on your smartphone from when you first wake up until you go to bed again is so important which is why the Nokia 2.1, with its two-day battery, has been one of the most welcome devices in our portfolio. We always want to keep giving Ghanaians more, so we’ve listened to their feedback and given them a faster processor, bigger screen and dual stereo speakers to enable an even better long-lasting experience to go with the great battery life.”
