Vivo is expanding its portfolio in Kenya and the latest addition is the vivo Y30 that that company has launched today. The vivo Y30 in Kenya is exclusively available through Jumia for Ksh 16,999. Exclusively launching the phone through Jumia can give vivo the mileage it needs to expand its presence in Kenya. The vivo Y30 comes with the MediTek Helio P35 processor that is configured with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage space. It runs on Android 10 out of the box with Funtouch 10.0 on top. Available colours include Emerald Black and the Moonstone White. The…

I have been using the Nokia 5.3 for a while having received a review unit from HMD Global.

If you are interested in buying any Nokia smartphone in Kenya, you can check them out on Jumia.  With most other Android phones, this information can be found under the ‘Settings Menu’ and scrolling all the…

If you have an Android phone and want to transfer data from that to another Android phone, the process has never been easier.

The process was straightforward and can be initiated when you are setting up the phone for the first time or later depending on your needs. Transferring data from an old phone means that you can pick up things right where you left them and do not have to…

The vivo V19 is the latest flagship from the company to launch in Kenya. The phone is available in stores for Ksh 40,999. This is the same price its predecessor, the Vivo V17 Pro was available for in the country last year. I did review the vivo V17 Pro and loved it and you can check that here. The vivo V19 is the perfect competitor to the OPPO reno 3 that has been in Kenya for a number of months. It does offer a lot more compared to its predecessor and matches what the reno 3 has to offer.

Infinix is finally launching its new TV line, the Infinix X1, in Kenya next month. The new TVs will be launched together with the company’s next flagship smartphone, the Infinix Zero 8.

The main selfie camera will be a 16MP one while the secondary one will probably be a 8MP lens. This…

One of the latest smartphones from HMD Global to launch in Kenya is the Nokia 5.3. The phone is available in the country for Ksh 21,000 which is not cheap in any way. At this price, the phone faces stiff competition from most other reputable brands including Huawei, Samsung, Xiaomi and others. The Nokia 5.3 should be the successor to the Nokia 5.1 Plus. HMD Global has a very confusing line-up as the Nokia 5.2 was renamed to the Nokia 5.3 and is the one we currently have and the one I am unboxing today. All that confusion aside, the…
