A few months ago, Twitter released a new feature for the feed that would allow people to send audio messages as tweets. This may be seen as the perfect way for some people to communicate what they really want in a fast and easier way. Twitter is expanding this and will soon roll out voice messages for DMs. Just like voice tweets, users will be free to send audio messages to their friends through Twitter DMs. This was the natural way for this feature to progress as voice messaging is an option available in most other messaging services. Twitter voice…

The Infinix Zero 8 was launched in Kenya not so long ago and having had a unit to review, I will be sharing my thoughts on this phone in this post. The Zero 8 is available locally for Ksh 28,999.

Rumours back then had indicated that the company was ending this series but it looks like that was not the case. We now have the Zero 8 which is quite an upgrade compared to…

When it comes to gaming laptops, Asus with its ROG series is a dominant force. We have seen a number in this series and one of the latest is the ROG Zephyrus Duo 15. I have had a chance to interact with this laptop that promises high end gaming performance and delivers on that. The ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 is as powerful as powerful gaming laptops can get. What powers it is not the only thing that got my attention though, that has to be the two screens it comes with. This is not the first time we are seeing…
