Microsoft Lumia Christmas sales are all over the place trust me. As the Christmas season draws nearer and nearer more people are looking for gifts and new gadgets to buy. We’ve received quite a number of request on sales going on and around and on pricing as well. We’ve decided to put together a number of these Lumia Christmas sales from top stores around.
I must first say you need to first decide which device will best suit your daily need or that of the person you intend to get it for. This will arguably help in knowing whether to spend less or more. Also with all the “dumsor” you probably are looking for a second smartphone but budget friendly to help keep you social and online.
We also have a blog post on the ongoing Microsoft Lumia Achieve More promotion or Microsoft Lumia Rock ‘n Roll promotion where when you buy a new Microsoft Lumia device anywhere you get to show your receipt at any of the approved redemption offices, rock a bag and pick up a prize instantly.
So below we have device prices, from Telefonika Ghana, Compu-Ghana and Freddie’s Corner Ghana.
Telefonika Ghana
Microsoft Lumia Christmas Sales Telefonika Ghana
Telefonika says you get a power bank and watch for free with every purchase.
Compu-Ghana
So Compu-Ghana has free powerbank, earpiece, 2GB micro SD card and a travel charger for any purchase and if you are in the right branch can do a rock, dip and roll.
Freddies Corner Ghana
I should say that you should check if the Microsoft Lumia devices sold at Freddies Corner Ghana are Microsoft Ghana mobile division country variants, as this might get you disqualified from the Lumia rock n roll promotion or any other promotions that may come up, but if that isn’t a concern for you, you are good to go.
We still are working to get Microsoft Lumia Christmas sales from other stores so make sure you come back to check on updates.
Compu-Ghana also has the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 up for sale. It’s the i5 6th gen Intel powered device, with 256GB storage.
Surface Pro 4 Specifications :
Display size/resolution 12.3-inch 2,736×1,824-pixel touchscreen display

Derek sees significant potential in Ghana’s young population and is excited that Microsoft has a presence in the country to help unlock this potential.
Derek Appiah, new country manager for Microsoft Corporation in Ghana holds both an engineering and MBA degree. He’s gained over 20 years of experience in various fields; research, technology, product development, marketing, sales and management with various organizations; he’s worked in the UK as the general manager, new business development for BT, worked as a chief enterprise solutions officer at MTN, Nigeria. Derek has also been an independent IT and Telecoms consultant to telcos in UAE, New Zealand, Qatar and Ireland. He worked with Vodafone Ghana as a Vodafone business solutions director & previous CEO of Logiciel Ghana Ltd., currently a non executive director.
“What I really enjoy about working in emerging markets is that you can make a big impact quickly; it’s possible to contribute to the ecosystem in a very real way.”
Appiah’s goal as Country Manager will be to help the company have a more active role in Ghana and add more value now that it has offices in the country and a 100% Ghanaian staff complement. He aims to make a significant impact on Ghana’s development,
“I believe there is enormous potential for technology to change lives in the emerging world, so this is an opportunity to make a big impact using Microsoft to enable productivity for businesses, government and consumers,”
A key area Derek will be focusing is developing youth employability skills, which he believes will help to develop Ghana’s business ecosystem.
“What I love most about Ghana is its young and vibrant population,
They are peace-loving and punch above their weight intellectually, making them the perfect candidates to take the country forward if they can acquire the necessary skills.
This is not about charity but rather about creating a value exchange between citizens, industry and government. Young people are an asset to our society, and even more so if they are adequately equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to create a brighter future for themselves and for Ghana.”
