When it comes to Android smartphones, it looks like manufacturers are using the RAM capacity to convince customers that their phones are the best. At the moment, we have 6GB and even 8GB RAM on some smartphones out there. A few years ago, having a smartphone with 3GB of RAM was what many people wanted but now we are looking at smartphones with twice the RAM. Most of the times the people buying the smartphones with 8GB of RAM may not take advantage of all that RAM and may end up using a fraction of that. OPPO’s current flagship, the…

Walk into any of the LG showrooms and you immediately feel the difference in the experience that makes this establishment stand out from your typical electronics outlet. There is no doubt that the products LG offers have earned the trust of their customers.

Moses Marji, the General Manager Marketing at LG believes that LG…

Instagram is currently enabling browser notifications for those who prefer to use its service on a browser and not through its official apps. Yes, there are people who use the browser for one reason or the other.

The browser option was not there in the beginning but was introduced later as a way to cater to those who may not…

Google is celebrating 20 years of organizing the world’s information and making it accessible to billions of users in close to 200 languages.

The next chapter of Search is one that’s powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI).…

The Samsung Galaxy J2 Core is finally available in Kenya. This is the company’s first Android Go smartphone and is available in the country for Ksh 10,499. The Galaxy J2 Core joins the ever-growing list of Android Go smartphones that users can buy in Kenya. Samsung has not had it easy in the entry-level segment recently for some time now.
