HMD Global, which produces Nokia phones, has released new research that shows food and technology are the two things that UAE consumers are most willing to share with their romantic partners. The research found that 57.53% of respondents would share food, while 37.79% would share a phone charger. It is not surprising that the majority of people (74.88%) are willing to share essential and everyday items with their loved ones. In terms of technology, laptops are among the top three items people are willing to share with their partners, followed by mobile phone chargers (44.27%) and mobile phones (40.58%).

Sanmeet Singh Kochhar, Vice President MENA, HMD Global said “It’s that time of year everyone wants to spend time with that special someone – and what better way to do that than by sharing everyday essentials like tech? This only goes show that technology is an integral part of people’s lives. But despite their reliance on their devices, people wouldn’t hesitate to share them with friends, family and romantic partners. Nokia has a suite of products that adapt to multiple user preferences, and make a great gift for a loved one this Valentine’s Day.”

Adam Ferguson, Head of Product Marketing at HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones said “It’s unsurprising that tech such as phones chargers are commonly shared items given their everyday use. Tablets in particular are made with shareability in mind, just like the Nokia T21, ideal for the whole family – whether it’s for work, learning or play, it’s made to adapt. Multiple years of software upgrades on smart devices also means that they can be shared for longer or passed down when you are looking to upgrade.”

The Nokia T21 comes in Charcoal Grey and is available in 4/64 GB memory and storage configuration in a Wi-Fi starting at an average RRP of AED 799.
