Late last year, Infinix launched its latest flagship smartphone, the Zero 4, in Kenya. This was not the only smartphone the company had as there was a bigger version, the Infinix Zero 4 Plus. The Infinix Zero 4 Plus went on sale in Kenya earlier this year and I have been using this phone as my primary smartphone for the last one month. The Infinix Zero 4 Plus is a much bigger version of the Zero 4. These two phones are similar in more ways than one but are still very different in my opinion. Having used the Infinix Zero…

At Mobile World Congress 2017, HMD Global unveiled three Nokia phones, the Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and the all new Nokia 3310. The company also announced that it has plans to take the Nokia 6 to other global markets. The Nokia 6 was launched earlier this year at CES 2017 but is only available in China at the moment.

In a blog post, the company said, “Starting today, you will be able to receive emails of up to 50MB directly.” This is double the limit that was there before and I am sure users will be happy about it.…

If you thought this was going to happen, think again as Tim Cook has spoken about this and the company’s plans to do more with desktop computers especially in the ‘pro’ market. Cook spoke during a Q&A session at…

Porsche Design is a company that very few know about but it probably will be the company we will be referring to when talking about high end devices. Late last year, the company partnered with Huawei to release the Porsche Design Huawei Mate 9. This was a limited edition premium model of the Mate 9. That aside, Porsche Design is back again but this time with a convertible laptop. The 2 in 1 laptop was unveiled at Mobile World Congress and the company is calling it Book One.
