HMD’s cheapest smartphone in Kenya, the Nokia 1, is getting cheaper. The company has slashed the price of the Nokia 1 from Ksh 9,500 to Ksh 7,999. This makes it one of the cheapest Android Oreo (Go Edition) smartphones in the country. It is slightly more expensive than the recently announced, Itel A32F that is available for Ksh Ksh 6,499. At Ksh 7,999, the Nokia 1 is reasonably priced in my opinion and is perfect for those who are looking to buy their first smartphone or anyone looking for a second smartphone that can handle basic tasks well.

What is the Safaricom…

Telkom Kenya has been aggressively pushing its data products and I thought it is a good idea to list down the Telkom Kenya data bundles and their validity period for those who may be interested. Telkom Kenya has 4G coverage in certain parts of this country and it’s a serious competitor to Safaricom in the data department. For a very long time, Safaricom had better speeds and coverage given that its main competitor, Airtel, had not rolled out 4G in Kenya. Telkom Kenya data bundles are meant to be affordable compared to Safaricom as the company sees this as the…
