Throughout history, the kitchen has often been regarded as a less-than-ideal section of the house — a functional room that is only necessary to facilitate comfort in the main dining room by providing a space where food may be prepared. In more patriarchal societies, the kitchen is seen as a woman’s place. In old feudal English societies, the kitchen was where servants would spend most of their time. Servants and lower class workers would eat and congregate in the kitchen while the owners of the house would eat and host guests in the highly decorated living and dining rooms. However,…

Huawei is about to launch its latest smartphone, the Huawei Y9 Prime 2019, in Kenya. The company has been teasing this smartphone through its social media pages and we expect it to be launched very soon. This is the latest mid-range smartphone from the company to make its way to Kenya. The Huawei Y9 2019 is the bigger brother to the Huawei Y7 Prime 2018 and the Huawei Y5 Prime 2018. We saw the Y5 and Y7 earlier in the year and they are very interesting smartphones, especially the Y5. You get more from it considering what you pay and…

If you thought we could only see smartphones with two cameras at the back, then you are wrong. We now have smartphones with three and even four cameras at the back. Samsung has the Galaxy A7 with three cameras at the back and the Galaxy A9 with 4 cameras at the back. The Samsung Galaxy A9 is not available in Kenya at the moment, the company will be launching it next month. The Galaxy A7 with the three cameras on the other hand is available in the country starting at Ksh 40,000, quite expensive. The company has announced that the…

Infinix has been busy the last couple of months releasing one smartphone after the other. We have seen the Hot 6, Hot 6 Pro, S3, Note 5 and now the Infinix S3X. The Infinix S3X is currently available on Jumia from as low as Ksh 18,200 and on InfinixMall for Ksh 17,400. The Infinix S3X (you can go ahead and share all the jokes that come to mind) is the successor to the Infinix S3 that is available exclusively through Safaricom retail stores. I am still not sure how Infinix has segmented its market as the Note 5 is currently…

Convenience cooking, the practice of streamlining recipes for simplicity and speed of preparation, is fast becoming an essential in the modern world. Though it may seem a recent phenomenon, guides to convenience cooking go as far back as 1930, captured in publications such as French Cooking in Ten Minutes by Edouard de Pomiane, which tried to minimize the time put into much French cooking of the day. However, while many emphasized streamlining recipes for simplicity and speed of preparation back then, presently it is important to consider all the steps taken towards getting that finished meal. Cooking starts from grocery…

A few days back, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy A9 smartphone to the world. This phone stood out as it comes with 4 different cameras at the back. This is a crazy combination as we are just getting used to having two cameras at the back and now Samsung wants to take things a notch higher. If you are curious about this phone, you will see it in Kenya very soon, next month to be exact. The company has confirmed that it will be bringing this phone to the country in mid-November but the price is still unknown. The price of…

Fortnite is one of the most popular games out there. The game has been available on PC for a long time but only made its way to Android devices recently with the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. When the game was made available to Android phones, it was exclusively available on Samsung phones and required a beta invitation to be installed. Of course, there are people who found workarounds but this was the company’s official stand. Epic games, the makers of Fortnite, have confirmed that things have now changed and those on Android are free to download the…

It is almost the middle of the month and you may be running out of money or just need a few extra shillings to complete the project you had started. We all get to a point where we want money for one reason or the other but never have the amount we need in our accounts. If this is you, you need a way to get this money and one way is to get a loan. There are different options out there and one of the ways to get a quick loan on your phone right now is to use…

If you are looking for a smartphone under Ksh 20,000 to buy, the OPPO A3s may be on your radar. The phone is available in Kenya for as low as Ksh 19,500 (on Jumia). OPPO is very vocal when it comes to devices in the F series (F3, F5, F7, F9) but the company has been quiet with the A3s. This sort of makes sense as the F series devices are its flagship devices and they are usually more expensive. The OPPO A3s on the other hand is cheaper than most devices we see from the company and maybe it…
