Infinix S5 back

Safaricom has been running its Open Day deals on e-commerce site Masoko. Open Day features a series of discounts for a variety of devices, mostly smartphones.

We have rounded up a few devices that we think will appeal to customers, particularly those that purchase handhelds from the carrier.

Also worth noting is that these devices are single-SIM models because the operator never sells dual-SIM smartphones, so if the feature is important to you, then you might want look elsewhere.

With that in mind, these are some of devices that caught put eye.

Nokia 2.3

nokia 2.3 launchedHMD has been selling Nokia devices in Kenya for a while now. The 2.3 succeeds the 2.2 from last year, and is equipped with the following features:

The pricing in the specs (recommended) list is different from what Safaricom is asking for these devices, so you might want to take note of that. Lastly, we know there are better options out here, but Safaricom has always been known to offer better warranties, and has traditionally been slapping their wares with a higher price tag.
