The 3GB/64GB variant, on the other hand, retails for KSh 14,699 on Jumia Kenya. The same unit (with 2GB RAM and 32GB ROM) retails at KSh 13,999 in Kenya. The Nokia 2.4 cost 485,000UGX in Uganda on Jumia. From my test, it’s safe to peg the Nokia 2.4’s battery life at 2 days. I doubt a normal user would put the phone to such heights. Such levels of stress-testing was to determine the battery’s strength. I managed to get up to 1 day and a half from active usage-gaming, heavy internet usage, and other intensive activities. The 4500mAH battery life is superb till this point. Surprisingly, however, it exceeded my expectation. BatteryĮxpectations can often make or break a smartphone. However, it was a clean Android experience that’s interesting to experience on the an entry-level device such as the Nokia 2.4. I was so used to seeing unread count-number on an app’s icon. The only thing that took longer for me to get used to is the Dot notifications on apps. My experience using the Andriod One skin has been phenomenal. The only thing worth saying is the 5MP front camera has kept the disappointment alive but the 13 megapixels back camera took some decent impressive photos. Initially, I had a bad first impression with the camera quality but all that has changed during the cause of the week of trying out the Nokia 2.4 cameras. Personally, the touch controls made my gameplay experience highly abysmal. PUBG Lite is also playable even in smooth graphics and extreme frame rates but your gameplay will be subject to frequent stutters. Similarly, high-end games like PUBG, Call of Duty and Need for Speed runs fine under low graphics and high frame rates.

In retrospect, light games (like Candy Crush, Temple Run and the likes) work perfectly fine. I highly encourage you get the 3GB RAM /64GB model if it’s available in your region to avoid the issue of storage space. I pretty much used up about 64% of storage in one week installing a bunch of my apps and taking photos. Furthermore, of the available 32GB, 11GB was occupied by some system files. The system UI would certainly misbehave when certain heavy apps are in the memory. This explains why extensive heavy-duty actions weren’t as smooth as you’d find on mid-range smartphones with higher memory. This boils down to the fact that I have a 2GB/32GB variant of the phone which leaves me with about 700MB of reusable RAM. Generally, I time and again witnessed lags and stutters during gaming and even light multitasking which involved switching around apps. Every possible emotion and feeling from many blissful highs to some distressing lows. My experience gaming on the phone has had it all. The first thing I did when I got the device last week was to download a bunch of different (light & heavy) games from the Play Store to test run the MediaTek Helio P22 chipset.
