The realme C55 is the latest smartphone from the Chinese manufacturer to launch in Kenya. You can get the phone in the country for Ksh 24,899 for the 8GB RAM variant with 256GB storage. This is the perfect variant if you ask me as it does offer a good balance of the specs and the price. At this price, the realme C55 is a direct competitor to the Infinix Hot 30, Redmi 12C just to name a few. All these are new smartphones launched in Kenya in 2023 and you are probably looking at them too if you are searching…

Itel is a company we don’t cover much here but they do release new smartphones regularly. The latest from the company is the itel A60 starting from Ksh 9,500 on Jumia. This is the successor to the itel A58 from last year. The A58 did well within its price range and the company hopes to replicate that with this new device. The entry level market segment does not see much action these days. Even companies like Tecno do not focus that much on this segment with their devices in the Spark series costing as much as 20k. The itel A60…

The Samsung Galaxy A34 is the latest smartphone from the company to make its way to Kenya. The phone is available in stores for Ksh 43,000. This is not cheap and puts the A34 in competition with some other good phones from the likes of OPPO.
