In a country like Kenya, not everyone can afford to get a pricey 4G smartphone.

The company will be using the Safaricom Neon Ray Pro as one of the first devices on this plan. The phone is available for around Ksh 6,000. Telkom Kenya is also getting into this plan, sort of, but the company has no smartphone plan like Safaricom. The new Kaduda 4G phone is the latest in the…

After weeks of teasing, the Infinix Zero 8 has officially been launched. This comes days after its sister company, Tecno, unveiled the Camon 16 Premier in Kenya which you can get for as low as Ksh 28,500.
