Nokia is a darling brand to many, having been one of the very first beauty some of us got to engage our hands with. Despite the penetration of the smartphone into the market, with affordable prices tagged to them, the first cut still goes deepest.
The announcement of HMD Global, the company behind the Nokia branding, bringing back the brand to the world not only raised eyebrows of a rejuvenated competition, but also fetched back the feeling of experience we all had back then.
We list down for you the devices available on the Ugandan market, their prices, and where to buy them.
