I'm all about mobile apps, gadgets and smartphones. I tell you what's worth getting and what sucks!

We finally have it, the Tecno Phantom 6. My colleague, Kaluka Wanjala, has the Phantom 6 Plus, and in a couple of weeks, be ready for a massive showdown of Tecno’s best devices yet. Anyway, let’s unbox this beauty (the Phantom 6) and see what you get when inside the big black box. Inside the big box, we have two regular sized boxes (atleast for phones and accessories). One that holds the Phantom 6 and the other that holds accessories that Tecno is referring to as “GIFTS”. Inside, this is what we have: Oh, the gifts are a flip cover,…

It’s been a while since my last post on this series, it wasn’t intentional but we’re back! This week’s app is relatively new and I am 100% sure most people would not bother downloading it but I am here to inform you that is exixts. Duo, is an app made by Google to compete with the likes of Skype. From that statement, you can already tell what Duo is about, yes, it is a video calling app. Hold on, don’t close your browser yet. This one is better than Skype and probably any other video calling app I have used…

Better late than never right? Well this applies to both this review and the device being reviewed. Well, we’ve had the Infinix Hot S for a while and here’s what we loved, didn’t like so much and maybe even hated about the Infinix Hot S. Design and Look S is for Stylish 5.2” 720P Display means the phone fits perfectly in the hand. The subtle curves on the edges and the aluminum build feel slippery but really premium. I like the combination of the black front with the silver back. The textured power button makes it really easy to…

Ever wanted to get a tattoo? Well now you can. Ok, not really. Ink Hunter is an app that lets you try out tattoos on your body befor you actually get them. It does this in a very simple way, take a photo of the part you want the tattoo and use the app to try out the tattoo. If you like the tattoo you could go ahead and get it, if not, keep trying out different designs until you find “the one”. Definetely, Ink Hunter is not an app for everyone, I personally would not get a tattoo, I’m…

Before we get into the issue of Infinix flooding us with too many phones, let’s just enjoy the fact that we finally have the Infinix Hot S in Kenya. This device has been around in countries like Nigeria for almost a month now (if not longer). The Infinix Hot S is a powerful mid-ranger, and I say this because of the specs it packs. I will not go through the specs, as that has already been done by my colleague. Read More: The Infinix Hot S Is Now Available in Kenya Inside the box you will find: The device (obviously) A…

The Lenovo P1M is a mid-ranger that is struggling to beat the competition and I will explain why in my full review. I have been using the P1M for a while now as my main device and I can’t really say that I enjoyed using the device, well apart from one aspect that you will have to find out later in this post.

Android is amazing, and the beauty of android is that you can customize almost every aspect of the operating system. Today, we’re looking at Circle Sidebar, which is an app that makes the android experience a little more personal. The concept of Circle Sidebar, is to provide an easy way to switch through apps thus enabling you to multitask from any app that you have opened – think of it as an alternative to the default android app switcher. I know, I may have just confused some people there but I will let the pictures explain where words have failed.…

I have said this in the past, I am not a gammer neither do I find it fulfilling to spend an unspeakable amount of time playing games. This however won’t stop me from recommending a very useful app to the gammers around. GameFans is an android app, that is well designed with material design elements all over the place. Its main purpose is to keep gammers informed on the latest news from the gaming community – yuhp, that’s it! Ofcourse, this is not an app for everyone. Majority will wonder how this app even made it to our list, but…
