HMD Luma Price in Kenya
The HMD Luma 4GB/128GB costs KSh 16,899 at Avechi. It is in stock with a 1-year warranty, and we can deliver it or you can pick it up from our Nairobi shop.
The Luma is an entry-level 4G phone from HMD, the Finnish company that also makes Nokia-branded phones. It was announced at the end of February 2026 for African markets. HMD kept the basics many budget buyers ask for: a 120Hz screen, a 50MP camera, dual speakers, a headphone jack, FM radio and a dedicated memory card slot. It suits a first smartphone, a phone for a parent, or a reliable second line.

Why buy the HMD Luma
- Two SIMs and a memory card at once. The card slot is separate, so you keep both lines active and still add storage for music and videos.
- Old-school extras that still matter. FM radio works without data, and the headphone jack takes any wired earphones. Handy for news and football commentary on a matatu.
- Plenty of room. 128GB is double what many phones at this price offer, so WhatsApp media will not fill it within months.
- Smooth 120Hz display. Scrolling feels quicker than on the 60Hz screens common at this level.
- Louder sound. Dual speakers make video calls and YouTube easier to hear than a single bottom speaker.

|---|---|
| Dedicated microSD slot plus dual SIM | 4G only, no 5G |
| FM radio and headphone jack | HD+ screen, not Full HD |
| 128GB storage | Entry-level Unisoc chip; not for heavy games |
| 120Hz screen and dual speakers | No NFC |
| 18W charging, faster than many rivals | No official water-resistance rating |
HMD Luma vs Tecno Spark Go 3
| HMD Luma | Tecno Spark Go 3 | |
|---|---|---|
| Screen | 6.67″ HD+ LCD, 120Hz | 6.74″ HD+ LCD, 120Hz |
| Processor | Unisoc T615 | Unisoc T7250 |
| Main camera | 50MP | 13MP |
| Charging | 18W | 15W |
| Water / dust | No rating | IP64 |
| Battery / RAM | Same: 5,000mAh, 4GB RAM | |
| Avechi price (4GB/128GB) | KSh 16,899 | KSh 17,299 |
Verdict: For KSh 400 less, the Luma gives you a higher-resolution main camera, slightly faster charging, FM radio and a separate card slot. The Spark Go 3 is the better choice only if you need its IP64 dust and splash protection.
Other phones to consider
- Tecno Spark Go 3 4GB/64GB (KSh 14,799): cheaper if 64GB of storage is enough.
- Realme C100i (from KSh 18,999): a 7,000mAh battery for people who are rarely near a socket.
- Xiaomi Redmi 15C 6GB/128GB (KSh 18,999): more RAM for smoother app switching.
- Samsung Galaxy M17e 5G (from KSh 19,999): the step up to 5G and a 6,000mAh battery.
