BlackBerry is one company that almost everyone knows about but when it comes to market share, the company is nowhere to be seen. BlackBerry was at one time one of the most sort after smartphone brands but then Android came around. Ever since then, the company has seen its market share drop to embarrassing levels. Even though times have been tough, BlackBerry is not giving up. The company is currently working on a premium Android smartphone that is called Ghost. According to Evan Blass (eveleaks), the phone will be launching in India very soon, no exact date has been given…

Most of you probably do not know that Huawei also makes laptops. You may know about the company’s tablets but may never have heard about the company’s laptop. To be fair, the company has a couple of laptops and most of them are sold in the western markets and that is why you may not have heard about them here.

The one thing that got people talking about this laptop is…

Let’s face it, in this day and age, you cannot have a premium smartphone with a mediocre camera. Consumers demand the best of the best from manufacturers who have to go that extra mile to ensure they have the best cameras on their new devices. This is exactly what Samsung had in mind when it decided to unveil its latest flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S9 and the Galaxy S9+. The two devices were unveiled yesterday at Mobile Wold Congress (MWC) 2018 in Barcelona. There had been a ton of leaks about these two devices so we were not entirely surprised…

Mobile World Congress 2018 has just kicked off but HMD Global has already showcased 5 Nokia smartphones including the recently unveiled mid-ranger, the Nokia 6 2018. Out of the 5 devices HMD Global showcased at MWC 2018, only 2 of them are new, the other three are new versions of existing devices. The cheapest phone the company unveiled is the Nokia 8110 “slider phone”. This is not an entirely new device but is rather a remake of the classic Nokia 8110 feature phone. The company did a similar thing last year with the unveiling of the Nokia 3310 and I…

Samsung’s latest flagship phablet, the Galaxy Note 8, is one of the most expensive devices the company has ever released.

We have not heard any issues about this phone and this…

If you were one of the people waiting for Android Oreo (Go Edition), the wait is finally over. According to Google, we will be seeing the first devices running Android Oreo (Go Edition) as early as next week at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. Google is yet to mention any of these smartphones but said that some of them will be available for a little as $50 (approximately Ksh 5,100).

If you use Twitter, then you know that it can be a good and a terrible place at the same time. Spam and bots can make your experience really bad and this has been very clear recently with the rise of fake news and cyber bullying. Twitter has always tried to do something to address this but the problems on its platform still exist. Even with this, Twitter has always been active in implementing changes that help to some extent even though some people feel that the company isn’t doing enough. The company has shared some details about the innervations…

The Google Pay app will be the default payment service and you will start seeing it in apps, websites among other places. This new payment service…

Tecno wasn’t one of these manufacturers and that is why the company decided to start 2018 with the unveiling of the Camon CM. The Tecno Camon CM was unveiled in the country towards the end of January and I have been using it since then. You can get…
