Emmanuel Chenze — Sat, 01 Mar 2025 13:20:11 +0000

There’s a raging debate online on whether to get the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, the headline device of the 2025 Samsung flagship smartphone series, the Galaxy S25 series. You see, with the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Samsung made some upgrades to the hardware, the ones you can expect like a better chipset and some others like […]

I tested Airtel 5G router back in my village, and here’s what I found out

I’ve always been a Safaricom loyalist. It’s the go-to network for most Kenyans, and for good reason. But after years of enduring slow speeds and frequent disconnections in my rural village, I’ve come to a startling realization: Airtel has quietly become a formidable competitor, especially in the hinterlands. In 2017, while living in Eldoret, I […]

Oppo A60 review: Rugged darling

Emmanuel Chenze — Mon, 10 Jun 2024 05:00:19 +0000

Oppo has a new-ish smartphone in the Kenyan market. The Oppo A60 looks to shake up what we have to expect of budget smartphones. It is relatively affordable, if we are to use the expansive Kshs 50,000 – 80,000 price range that the brand’s Reno series that we have covered extensively on Android Kenya over […]

Infinix Note 40 Pro review: A hot Note

Emmanuel Chenze — Sun, 19 May 2024 20:40:13 +0000

Sleek, curvy, suave. Those three words aptly describe the Infinix smartphone that I have had for a month: the Infinix Note 40 Pro that Infinix officially launched locally at the end of last month. However, as you will see in this written review and the embedded video review above, that’s not all there is to […]

Oppo Reno11 F 5G review: More for (relatively) less

Emmanuel Chenze — Fri, 17 May 2024 13:15:23 +0000

F for fun? To be honest, I don’t know but, it’s been a fun device to have and to use. You see, it’s very easy to misplace the Oppo Reno11 F from Oppo’s Reno11 lineup. The device, after all, comes after we have seen the standard Reno11 and the Reno11 Pro, superior devices to it […]

Xiaomi Redmi A3: Impressions

Emmanuel Chenze — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 20:25:09 +0000

Xiaomi’s Redmi sub-brand exists to provide the best value to users. Basically, more for less. For a while, before Xiaomi made Redmi a whole sub-brand, it was a device series that catered to this purpose. Back then, Xiaomi reserved the likes of the Redmi 5A, 6A, 7A and so on for its entry-level offerings. While […]

Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 (4G): Impressions

Emmanuel Chenze — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 20:19:13 +0000

I have been using the 4G variant of the Redmi Note 13 from Xiaomi sub-brand Redmi for a while now. The 4G variant is the most affordable of the devices in the Redmi Note 13 series (at just under Kshs 30,000) and while that is so, it still manages to excite and reserve some sparks. […]

Hands on with the Kenya-assembled (Safaricom) Neon Ultra

Emmanuel Chenze — Sat, 11 Nov 2023 20:05:23 +0000

Safaricom’s Neon Ultra smartphone is not a stranger to us. We reported on its presence in the local market just 2 months ago. However, going forward, the name “Neon” will no longer be synonymous with just Safaricom. As a result of a joint venture with other industry players that has seen the assembly of devices […]

Infinix Zero 30 5G: The device that will change your perception of the Infinix brand

Emmanuel Chenze — Mon, 23 Oct 2023 18:00:05 +0000

I have been using the Infinix Zero 30 5G for over a month now. It’s one smartphone that you’d love to own. Yes, including those of you who’ve always flocked to my mentions on Twitter every time I highlight a new Infinix device that is, in your opinion, priced outside the confines within which you […]

Oppo Reno10 5G review: Playing it safe

Emmanuel Chenze — Mon, 23 Oct 2023 05:30:24 +0000

I have been using the Oppo Reno10 5G for nearly 2 months now. That’s a long enough time to know the device like the back of my hand – or so I believe. It is also long enough to be able to use it and put it side by side with some competing devices I […]
