Nokia 1.4 now available in Kenya

• The 6.51-inch HD+ edge-to-edge screen is as big note and the largest-ever on a Nokia 1 series device, offering families entertainment and immersive experiences amid growth in ‘home-schooling’ 

HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, today announces the launch of its latest smartphone the Nokia 1.4 in Kenya. 

Boasting an impressive screen real estate which stretches to 6.51 inches edge-to-edge, it’s almost a full inch bigger than its predecessor, and the largest ever to feature on a 1 series Nokia.  

The Nokia 1.4 is a phone engineered and built in the moment. 

Gopher Ogembo, Senior Business Manager Kenya & East Africa, HMD Global said

“We wanted to create a reliable and enjoyable experience that truly benefits all family members without adding to any household financial pressures. 

Be it managing work emails, paying bills or keeping the kids busy with online extracurricular activities, our designers addressed the fact that millions of families around the world are spending more time at home. In response, we increased the size of the screen on the Nokia 1.4 to the maximum capacity so parents, caregivers and children can stay connected and productive. To further enhance the photography experience – on top of the improvements already brought to you by Google’s AI on the Camera Go app, we also added a macro camera to capture epic close-ups at home or outdoors. All powered by Qualcomm®, a trusted industry leader, and encased in a tough, mishap-proof body with our signature two-day battery life¹.” 

The new expanded HD+ screen comes into its own with video calling apps, helping families to stay connected amid the current climate, and showcases the Nokia 1.4’s camera capabilities. 

The dual camera setup coupled with Camera Go app by Google helps you take high quality photos at any time, even under low light conditions. Capture precious family moments with Portrait Mode that lets you achieve professional-looking photos with blurred backgrounds. Use Night Mode to take colour-rich and crisp low-light shots without the need for flash. Helpful storage indicators will take away any worries about space so you can carry on snapping. 

The built-in macro lens will entertain the whole family as kids get up close and personal with slugs, bugs, and flowers while exploring the great outdoors and come in handy at home when you need to zoom in on the fine print on the latest utility bill.
