As it has been said before, it’s better late that never. This should be the case for smartphone manufacturers when it comes to the latest Android updates but its is not always that way. I would rather get the update late than get any at all and I am forced to buy a new phone just to experience the latest updates from Google. Huawei is not one company known for timely updates but it does update most of its flagship device with the latest Android variants from time to time. Back in October, the company announced plans to roll out…

If you like multitasking or you switch between different applications more than the average person, then you know that the experience is never smooth when you are on YouTube. As soon as you leave the app, the video pauses and you will have to go back and tap on play to continue. This sort of changed with Android Oreo with the introduction of picture-in-picture mode, a feature that allows you to continue playing the video as you switch to a different app. In this case, the YouTube player is minimized to small window tucked away to a corner letting you…

We are in 2018 and you would think that as humans we have learnt how to handle disagreements in a civil manner. Well, this is how it should happen but we still get people with tendencies that make you question how they interact with people around them. This is even worse in a professional setting where a CEO, manager or any person in authority treats junior colleagues with disrespect and in a demeaning manner. This is exactly what happened recently when a top executive at OPPO Kenya went ballistic on an employee. I found out about this yesterday when I…

When it comes to buying a new smartphone, not everyone is able or is willing to spend so much money on one device. Some people are just looking for a basic smartphone that can do the simple tasks without any complicated or advanced features. From time to time, I get questions about the cheapest smartphone that someone can buy. If you are one such person, this post will list down five smartphones under Ksh 5,000 that you can get in Kenya right now. Most of the smartphones listed here are available on Jumia and I have included a link to…

The Samsung Galaxy S9+ is the latest flagship smartphone from the Korean manufacturer to land in Kenya. This is the successor to the Galaxy S8+ we saw in 2017. The Galaxy S8+ is still a good and relevant phone so when reviewing the Galaxy S9+, I was interested to see what it has to offer and if it something worth buying considering the fact that the Galaxy S8+ and even the Galaxy Note 8 smartphones are still around and are available at reasonable prices right now. I have been using the Galaxy S9+ for a little over a month and…

At its 2018 F8 developer conference, Facebook announced that WhatsApp users will now be able to make group calls. This is one of the two features coming to WhatsApp, the other one is all about stickers as they seem to be popular in almost every other social networking site out there. WhatsApp group calling will be able to accommodate up to four people at a go. It uses the same video calling feature available on WhatsApp and takes it to a new level by allowing more people to join in. If you have always wanted to have a group video…

There are a handful of taxi hailing apps in Kenya even though most people only know of Uber. Uber has been getting a bad reputation recently with most people finding the service unappealing and thus opting for alternatives. If you are one of the people who have been looking for alternatives, you may have come across Taxify. Taxify has been in Kenya for a while and knowing its rates is a good start for those who are thinking about using it. At the moment, Taxify in Kenya is only available in Nairobi and Mombasa, these are the two biggest cities…

Most of the recent premium devices from Samsung stand out because of their infinity displays. If you have used any of the recent flagship smartphone from the company, then you know how good these displays are. They look really good but the company has limited their availability to its flagship devices. The launch of the Samsung Galaxy A6 and A6+ brings the infinity display to this series of mid-range devices. We have seen numerous leaks of these phones in the last couple of weeks and they are finally here for those who have been waiting for them. With these, Samsung…

OPPO has finally unveiled its latest smartphone in Kenya. This new smartphone, the OPPO F7, is now up for pre-order through Jumia and select offline stores from today to this coming Sunday (May 6). For those who are not willing to pre-order the device, you will be able to buy it from next week for Ksh 35,990. This phone is the successor to the OPPO F5 that we saw towards the end of 2017. Just like the F5, the OPPO F7 is a camera-centric device that comes with a 25MP selfie camera that the company hopes will be appealing to…

If you have a device from Huawei and have been looking a a customer service centre in Kenya, then you are in luck as we have a few of them here. A number of Huawei Customer Service Centres were opened in Kenya a couple of years back as the company wanted to offer its customers services they can reply on.
