The Tecno Camon 30 is the latest smartphone from the company. The phone is yet to officially launch in Kenya but it is currently available on pre-order through Masoko. Even though the phone is not yet available in Kenya, some online retailers have listed the base model with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage for Ksh 30,000. This is the successor to the Camon 20 series from last year. The Camon 30 was officially unveiled earlier this month after the company showcased the series at MWC Barcelona 2024. The Camon 30 series has three main devices that include the Camon…

The Redmi A3 has been unveiled in kenya and is available starting from Ksh 11,599 for the 3GB RAM variant with 64GB of internal storage space. There is also a 4GB variant with 128GB of storage available for Ksh 13,299. This is the latest entry level smartphone to launch in Kenya and is the successor to the Redmi A2 from last year.  The Redmi A3 has a 6.71 inch display with 90Hz refresh rate. This display also has Corning Gorilla Glass 3, something we do not see that often on smartphones with this price range. This means that the phone…

The OPPO Reno11 5G was unveiled in Kenya a few months back and is currently available in stores for Ksh 61,999. The phone is available through a number of online retailers like GadgetsLeo and through offline retailers as well. This is the latest from OPPO and the latest Reno series to launch in the country. The Reno11 5G in Kenya is retailing at a price that is slightly higher that what its predecessor, the Reno10 launched at. The OPPO Reno11 5G keeps the same design we have come to associate Reno smartphones with. It has a slightly curved display and…

The Samsung Galaxy S24 was recently unveiled in Kenya. It is available in stores for Ksh 124,500 for the 256GB base model. The prices vary depending on where you get the phone from but should be around this range. You can get the phone through most online and offline retailers across the country. This is the most affordable device in the S24 series and is worth checking out even if you have the S23 or the S23 FE.  The S24 has a few upgrades compared to the S23 series. The biggest is in the software and the support for AI…

The Samsung Galaxy A25 is in Kenya and is currently available in stores for Ksh 26,8000. This is not cheap and quite a steep price hike compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy A24 from last year. The sliding shilling has something to do with the price hike but I don’t really see this phone as being competitive when compared to others within its price range. It feels like Samsung isn’t trying harder to make the Galaxy A series competitive. The Galaxy A25 supports 5G connectivity which is what we expect from a smartphone within its price range. Overall, it looks…

The vivo Y27S is the latest from the company to launch in Kenya. This phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 processor which is not a new chip and we have had it on so many phones. We saw this chip on so many phones in 2022 from the Redmi 10C to the realme 9i. Having the same on a phone on the market in 2024 is not exciting. The processor aside, the vivo Y27s is available locally for Ksh 33,000 according to the company. This is a bit expensive in my opinion as such a phone should not…

The Tecno Spark 20 was recently unveiled in Kenya and is available in retail stores for Ksh 18,300 for the 4GB RAM variant and Ksh 23,300 for the 8GB RAM option. As the company’s entry level series, the Spark 20 series builds on the success of the Spark 10 series that we reviewed last year. I loved the Spark 10 and I am expecting the Spark 20 to be equally as good. The Tecno Spark 20 was officially released back in December 2023 and it’s now available in Kenya. The phone doesn’t have that many upgrades but still has decent…

The Nintendo Switch OLED is one of the most sort after portable consoles you can get. You can get the Nintendo Switch OLED Model in Kenya starting from Ksh 53,500. The price may vary depending on where you get it from but this is so far the best price we have found in Kenya as of January 2023. This console has a 7 inch OLED screen with vivid colours and crisp contrast. This is the perfect combination for playing on the go. It also has enhanced audio thanks to its onboard speakers. Have a look at the other specifications of…

The Infinix Hot 40 Pro is one of the three devices in the Hot 40 Series to launch in Kenya. This series was launched in the country late last week and is the successor to the Hot 30 series that we reviewed earlier this year. The Hot 40 series builds on the success of the Hot 30 and the company says this new series promises exceptional gaming experience and performance. The Infinix Hot 40 Pro is available in Kenya starting from Ksh 28,399. This is the most expensive device in the Hot 40 Series. It costs as much as the…

The Samsung Galaxy A04s is one of Samsung’s entry level devices that you can get in Kenya. At ksh 18,700, this is one of the most expensive devices in the Galaxy A04 series. There is the affordable A04e for Ksh 13,250 if you want to save some money. The Galaxy A04s has been in retail shelves in Kenya for over a year but it is still a good option for 2023. Samsung does not have that many devices within this price range. We know about the more expensive ones like the galaxy A24, A34 and A54 series. These are some…
