Check Point Software Technologies has been named as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Mobile Threat Management Software 2020 Vendor. For the third-consecutive year, Check Point has been named a leader based on strategy and capabilities. Mobile security has become a top concern for every company in these challenging times.

Late last month, Infinix confirmed that it had plans to introduce its new Android TVs to the Kenyan market. The company has seen a very huge opportunity to serve the market with its affordable smart TVs that it introduced recently.

Realme is one of the latest brands to launch its devices in Kenya and the company is on a roll launching new devices every few weeks. The latest addition to its portfolio is the realme Buds Air Neo that will be available in Kenya as from today for Ksh 5,000. Weirdly, the company has decided to launch these ear bus through Kilimall and not Jumia as it did with its smartphones. I have not heard of Kilimall in a very long time and I wasn’t even sure the platform was still operational. Anyway, those interested can go to Kilimall through…

In a country like Kenya, not everyone can afford to get a pricey 4G smartphone. Just recently, we saw Safaricom introduced the Lipa Mdogo Mdogo smartphone plan whose aim is to get its subscribers using 2G devices to shift over to 4G powered devices. The company will be using the Safaricom Neon Ray Pro as one of the first devices on this plan. The phone is available for around Ksh 6,000.

The Infinix Zero 8 will be battling with the redmi 6 and the Tecno Camon 16 Premier that was launched in the country last week. These are some of the recent devices in the same price segment as…

After weeks of teasing, the Infinix Zero 8 has officially been launched. This comes days after its sister company, Tecno, unveiled the Camon 16 Premier in Kenya which you can get for as low as Ksh 28,500. The Infinix Zero 8 shares a lot with the Camon 16 Premier but in this post we will not be comparing the two.
