The Tecno Spark 5 Pro has finally been launched in Kenya. This latest device in the Spark series joins the Tecno Spark 5 and the Spark 5 Air from earlier this year. I was not particularly a fan of the Spark 5 when I reviewed it and I hope the Spark 5 Pro is different. The Tecno Spark 5 Pro is available in Kenya from Ksh 13,999 which is not a bad price if you ask me. This is the same price the Spark 5 retailed for so we are getting slightly improved specs for the same price. The Tecno…

The Tecno Spark series in Kenya is expanding and the latest addition to this series is the Tecno Spark 5 Pro. This phone has been available in other markets for a few months and it is only now that we are getting it in Kenya. I have the Spark 5 Pro in for review and before I get to it, I thought I should do a post highlighting some of the top 5 things you need to know about this phone. I will be reviewing this phone and the full post of that should be up here within the next…

OPPO’s current flagship smartphone for the Kenyan market is the Reno 4. This phone was launched in the country last month and is currently available in retail stores for around Ksh 40.000. This is right where previous OPPO Reno devices have been selling for so for pricing we are getting more or less of the same. I used the OPPO Reno 4’s predecessor, the Reno 3, earlier this year and absolutely loved it. From the build quality to the performance, the Reno 3 really impressed me. This is one of the reasons why I was excited to review the Reno…

I have been using the OPPO for quite sometime now and given that this is the company’s first smartwatch, I was curious to see what it has to offer. The watch is available in Kenya for around Ksh 24,000. This is not cheap but for OPPO this is a good start for its first smartwatch. The OPPO Watch looks a lot like the Apple Watch not just from its design but some of the watch faces too. There is no originality in this regard but having used the watch for sometime, I have come to like it. There are two…

The Infinix Note 8 is finally coming to Kenya. We told you about this phone late last week informing you that the company will be launching it in Kenya later this month. The Infinix Note 8 will be the successor to the Note 7 that was launched in Kenya a few months back. It is quite strange to see two devices in the same series launch in the country just a few months apart but considering how things change really fast in the smartphone market, the company may have seen it fit to replace the Note 7 to still be…

The Tecno Spark 5 Pro has finally been launched in Kenya. This is the latest addition to the Spark 5 family that has been in the country for a few months. The Spark 5 Pro isn’t entirely a new phone as it has been available in other markets or a few months. The Tecno Spark 5 Pro has been on pre-order in Kenya for about a week and is finally available in retail stores countrywide. The phone is available for Ksh 13,999 on Jumia and from other retailers. The Tecno Spark 5 Pro builds up on the standard Spark 5…

The Infinix Hot 10 was launched in Kenya a few weeks back and is currently available in stores for around Ksh 14,000. There is the Infinix Hot 10 Lite that is available at a cheaper price. The Infinix Hot series has always been one of the company’s entry level series but looking at its price, it is edging closer to a mid-range series than an entry level series. I have been using the Infinix Hot 10 series for a while as my secondary phone and in this review, I will share my thoughts on it and hopefully that will help…

We have seen a handful of Infinix smartphones launch in Kenya the last few weeks and one more is on the way. The new device is the Infinix Note 8 that is set for a Kenya launch later this month. Its predecessor, the Infinix Note 7 was unveiled in the country not so long ago and after it, we saw a couple other devices from the company including the Infinix Zero 8 and the latest one, the Infinix Hot 10. I used the Infinix Note 7 back then and you can read my thoughts on it below. Read: Infinix Note…

The Tecno Camon 16 Premier is the latest from the company and joins its ever growing camera-centric line of devices. The Camon 16 Premier comes to the market a few months after the launch of the Camon 15 series. The Camon 15 series was and still is a good device but compared to some of the new devices unveiled in 2020, it may not be as competitive. I have had the Camon 16 Premier for a while and already have the full review that you can read more about using the link below. Read: The Tecno Camon 16 Premier Review…
