Nokia’s T20 tablet, announced back in October 2021, is now available in South Africa.
The Nokia T20 marks the introduction of the brand-new T-series which the company says is packed with innovative and accessible features including a 2K screen plus three years of monthly security updates and two years of free operating system (OS) upgrades.
Florian Seiche, CEO, HMD Global revealed: “We pride ourselves on always listening and responding to people’s wishes. Over the past year, we noticed the increase in hybrid working and online learning, as well as the growing use of social media, video calling platforms and streaming services – leading to an increase in the appetite for tablets, which grew an impressive 53% in Q1 from 2020 to 2021. So, we created HMD Global’s first-ever Nokia tablet to address people’s changing needs and their desire for versatile technology and features. Designed for work, learning and play, our Nokia T20 offers the classic qualities people have come to love and expect from our smartphones, in a brand-new format.”
Ben Wood, Chief Analyst at CCS Insight, added: “There has been a renaissance in the tablet market. Our latest Connected Consumer Radar report underlines how important this category has become, with 27% of owners seeing more value from their tablets since the pandemic began.”
