Tecno Mobile will be launching its latest camera-centric series, the Tecno Camon 12, in Kenya very soon. This phone was unveiled earlier this month and is already available in Nigeria. Succeeding the Camon 11, the Camon 12 has big shoes to fill but I am confident it will do well in Kenya. Tecno says the Camon 12 series comes with an upgraded camera that should get people excited. The Camon series has always had good cameras in my opinion compared to other smartphones from the company. They do take decent shots with the right amount of saturation for them to…

A few weeks back, CamScanner, the popular document scanning application, was removed from the Play Store after researchers at Kaspersky Lab said they found a malicious component within the application. According to Kaspersky, the module has been identified as a Trojan-Dropper that extracts and runs another malicious module from an encrypted file included in the app’s resources.

Just recently, Little, announced a long-distance shuttle service to cater for those who travel between Nairobi and Nakuru on a regular basis. This may not seem like a…
