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…

Realme officially started operations in Kenya a couple of months ago. Since then, we have seen a number of smartphones from this brand including the realme 6, realme C3 and the realme C11. The latest addition to this list is the realme C`15 which was unveiled in Kenya a few weeks back. The realme C15 is available in Kenya starting from Ksh 17,000 depending on the configuration you go with. I got the variant with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage space that is available on Jumia for Ksh 16,200. The realme C15 has a 6,000 mAh battery…

Google has not been in a hurry to roll out RCS ((Rich Communication Services) messaging to users across the world. The company has never shared its roll out strategy so we were never sure when we were to get this feature. The good news for those in Kenya is that Google Messages RCS support is finally rolling out to this part of the world. I have it on my end and with that it is safe to assume other users in Kenya are getting it too. RCS support is available to those using Google messages app as their default app…

The Tecno Camon series is known for its impressive cameras and the Camon 16 is the latest iteration in this growing series. This is the second Camon device we are seeing from the company this year as we already saw the Camon 15 a few months back. The Tecno Camon 16 builds up on the Camon 15 with subtle but important upgrades that make the series competitive when compared with some of the other device within its price range. Speaking of price, the Camon 16 Premier is available in Kenya for Ksh 28,500. The Camon 16 Premier was unveiled in…
