Kogan goes big with the new Agora 8 Plus smartphone – $239!

Online retailer Kogan.com have today announced the next iteration of their long running line of own-branded smartphones the Agora.

This new device – the Kogan Agora 8 Plus features a 5.5 inch screen running at Full HD with both front and rear cameras at a price of just $239 for pre-orders.

It’s a dual SIM phone meaning you can run two SIM cards – one for work, one for home, or one for domestic and one for international calls, or one for big data one for calls – lots of options for people there.

The SIM slots are 3G and 4G meaning one can access higher data speeds too.

Like the last Agora it also features a finger-print sensor and frankly for just $239 it’s a pretty crazy great deal.

“Smartphones are a necessity for everyday life, but a lot of people aren’t able to keep up with the sharp price increases for new devices,” says Sergiy Bobrovnychyy, Product Manager at Kogan.com. “We’ve built a phone packed with all the high-end features that Australians demand, but at a fraction of the price.”

“At Kogan.com, we are committed to making the latest technology more accessible and affordable for all Australians and the new Kogan Agora 8 Plus is a testament to that.”

Of course, you won’t find it anywhere but Kogan.com.
