HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, is offering a special deal on its popular Nokia 3 and Nokia 5 smartphones for a limited period to celebrate the company’s first anniversary in Malaysia.

During the entire month of December, the Nokia 3 will be available at a discounted price of RM499 (usual retail price RM599). In addition to the discount, customers will also receive a gift pack comprising phone accessories worth RM150.

The Nokia 5, on the other hand, will be offered at a special price of RM699 (usual retail price RM799). Customers who purchase the Nokia 5 will also receive a gift pack comprising phone accessories worth RM200.

Vijay Thangavelu, HMD Global Country Manager for Malaysia and Myanmar, said that with the discounts plus gift packs, customers are effectively paying only RM349 for the Nokia 3 and RM499 for the Nokia 5.

“With this crazy deal in the month of December, we’re lowering the affordability barrier for many customers to own their first Nokia smartphone. Furthermore, customers who are shopping during this holiday season will find the Nokia 3 and Nokia 5 the perfect gift for their loved ones,” said Vijay.

Vijay added that HMD Global is offering this amazing deal because the company is celebrating its first anniversary in Malaysia, and would like to celebrate its success by rewarding both loyal Nokia fans and the public. Since the successful introduction of the iconic Nokia 3310 in Malaysia, HMD Global has been recording encouraging sales of its smartphones — namely the Nokia 3, Nokia 5, Nokia 6 and flagship Nokia 8.

“It’s been a very promising first year for us in Malaysia and what better way to celebrate this than to reward our fans and customers for their support. In 2017 alone, we opened more than 30 Nokia stores across the country to serve our customers, and we are now looking to add on that in 2018,” said Vijay noting that the target for next year is to have 100 Nokia stores nationwide.

Customers can visit all participating Nokia stores to take advantage of this amazing deal for the Nokia 3 and Nokia 5. The offer is only valid in the month of December 2017 or while stocks last.
