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. Those in other markets had to import the phone using other channels and this meant that they had to buy them at much higher prices. When announcing this, Nokia and HMD Global said that the Nokia 6 “embraces much-loved Nokia phone…

For a long time now, users could only send and receive emails with attachments of up to 25MB when using Gmail. Those who wanted to send or receive files larger than 25MB had to send or receive multiple emails each with attachments below 25MB. This is all changing as Google has increased the size limit for incoming emails to 50MB. 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.…

Whether people like to admit it or not, Apple makes beautiful laptops. The company has been making both laptops and PCs for years but in the recent past, we have heard about its laptops a lot more than its PCs. With this, many people thought that the iPhone maker was going to kill its desktop computers and concentrate on the laptops. 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. The first thing you will notice about this laptop is that it…

A couple of days ago, Samsung expanded its tablet line up with the unveiling of the Galaxy Tab S3 at Mobile World Congress (MWC 2017). Samsung is perhaps one of the few manufacturers who seem serious when it comes to Android tablets. When unveiling this device, the company said, “The Galaxy Tab S3 delivers superior video and gaming experiences along with versatile usage as a productivity tool.” This is kind of confusing as tablets are considered to be productivity devices these days and Samsung thinks they are for entertainment first and then productivity second. To be fair, not many Android…

This is probably the first clear shot that shows us what to expect when the Galaxy S8 is launched at the end of this…

Back in September 2016, we saw a new smartphone brand, Fero Mobile, enter the Kenyan market. The company launched different devices all of which were available for less than Ksh 20,000. Since this was a new company, we weren’t sure if it was going to stick around as we have seen companies enter this market only to quietly exit without anyone noticing. Well, it looks like Fero is going to stick around for a while. The company is back with its first smartphone with an iris scanner. This smartphone is the Fero Iris and was launched in Kenya yesterday and…
