The Huawei Y7 Prime 2018 is one device that the company hopes will help it reach out to the young customers who are looking for the best camera and performance on a device that is affordable.

If you are like most people, you probably spend a significant part of your day online.

If HMD…

I have been using a Chromecast for quite sometime now and it has served me well but it has some challenges. This is why I was excited when I got the new Safaricom Digital TV and Internet Box. What is the Safaricom…
