Spark continues Nokia exclusivity partnership
Spark NZ has continued its exclusive Nokia distribution partnership with HMD Global, releasing the Nokia 7.1 to the NZ market.
Spark value management lead Rajesh Singh says the company is happy to secure the exclusive partnership extension.
"Kiwis have a long history with Nokia phones - from the iconic 3310 and now the 7.1, the range brings together engineering excellence with premium materials and finish so we're proud to be the exclusive stockist of Nokia in New Zealand," says Singh.
"The Nokia range has proved popular in the last year so we want to keep giving customers that choice. The Nokia 7.1 delivers a bigger experience without a bigger handset to offer you a stunning smartphone with flagship features at mid-tier prices.
HMD Global acting country manager James Robinson adds that there's plenty for Kiwi consumers to look forward to from Nokia in the next year.
"We're excited to extend our exclusive partnership with Spark and launch the Nokia 7.1 into the NZ market in tandem, we aim to deliver a unique, premium experience in collaboration with best in class partners to deliver standout smartphones at great value, so having Spark on board makes total sense.
