If you’ve been eagerly waiting to purchase a discounted top-end smartphone running Android, now might be your best chance to snag the Nokia 8 at the lowest price we’ve ever seen.
Until April 9, you can order HMD Global’s first Nokia-branded flagship online from Argomall at a heavily reduced sale price of P21,990 (around $423), from a high of P29,990 ($575) when the phone debuted in the Philippines late in September last year. Look around, and you won’t find a cheaper Snapdragon 835-based smartphone at this point, at least domestically.

As you might recall, Argomall is one of HMD Global’s authorized retailers in the country. That means a full year of warranty coverage from the manufacturer will be included with all orders. It’s also worth mentioning that Argomall accepts cash on delivery, credit card, and online banking as a payment option for purchases on the site. It offers nationwide shipping, too.
