Apple has always made iPhones with 16GB of storage space as the affordable options for those who didn’t want to spend more money on the 64GB models. For some reason, Apple always thought that iPhones with 32GB of storage space did not make sense and therefore users who saw the 16GB models as being too small had no option but to go with the 64GB model which was more expensive. With the iPhone 7, Apple will be ditching the 16GB model as it finally re-introduces the 32GB model. Am sure there are some users who had hoped to have this…

The Samsung Galaxy J2 (2016) is still in production but that has not stopped us from getting some information about the device. The latest leak reveals that the J2 (2016) will come with an alternative to the notification LED that will be an upgrade and something we did not expect to see on a Galaxy J smartphone which is considered a low end smartphone. The new notification feature is referred to as Smart Glow and will be made of an illuminated ring around the back camera. We have seen such notification lights before and as expected, it will light up…

2014 saw BlackBerry re-introduce the Classic smartphone taking us back to the early days when the company ruled the smartphone market. The introduction of the BlackBerry Classic was seen as a move by the company to try and recapture its lost market share but things did not work out as expected. The company still struggled with sales as platforms such as Android and iOS continued growing. With the BlackBerry Classic not doing so well, the company has decided to stop producing it. This was announced by Ralph Pini who is BlackBerry’s Chief Operating Officer and General Manger for Devices. He…

A few years ago, Samsung was known for the many smartphones it had on the market. At some point, the company changed its strategy and streamlined its smartphone lineup to focus on a few devices and maximize on those as competition got tougher. Fast forward a few years later and Samsung seems to be going back to doing what it used to. The company has been introducing new smartphone lineups expanding from the usual Galaxy J, Galaxy A and Galaxy S devices. This year, the company introduced the Galaxy C series that saw the introduction of the Galaxy C5 and…

Samsung seems to be one of the few manufacturers that is actively trying to update as many of its devices with Android Marshmallow as possible. The company has updated a good number of its 2015 devices and some of them such as the Galaxy J5 are not high end ones. This is good move for Samsung considering that there are some manufacturers out there who keep releasing new devices but have not updated their existing ones. The company is keen to update even more devices including the Galaxy A8. This update has just started rolling out to some users of…

The end of the Windows 10 free upgrade is coming and you should really care if you are using Windows right now. When launching Windows 10 last year, Microsoft said that it will allow users to upgrade for free to this new OS as long as they run Windows 7 and above. The company said that the offer to upgrade for free would expire after one year. Well, one year is almost over and this means that you have a few days to upgrade for free as long as you have a genuine version of Windows. The free upgrade period…

Huawei Technologies has today reiterated its commitment to accelerating ICT development in Kenya through the ‘‘Smart and Sustainable City’ solutions. Last year, Huawei facilitated the delivery of the safe city project, an important part of the “Smart City” solution, in partnership with the National Police Service and Safaricom. The 3 parties deployed a holistic solution that integrated a call-taking and dispatching system, eLTE broadband trunking, video surveillance, and intelligent analysis (license plate recognition and violation detection) to improve Kenya’s critical incident management and crisis management capabilities. The solution was used to successfully manage Pope Francis’ visit to Kenya on November…

One thing that you should look out for when searching for a new smartphone is how often the manufacturer supports its devices. If the manufacturer does not support its devices with new updates, do not waste your time with them as you do not want to have a device that will never get updated. Asus is one company that has tried to update some of its existing devices with the latest updates. The company hasn’t done so well when compared to big names such as LG and Samsung but has done quite well compared to some other manufacturers that have…

BlackBerry is clearly not where it was a few years ago. The company has seen its market share drop as Android and iOS keep rising. With a drop in market share, BlackBerry has finally decided to embrace Android and it even released its first Android smartphone, the BlackBerry Priv, a few months ago. This will not be the only Android smartphone from the company as we are getting information that there are three more devices in development. According to VentureBeat, BlackBerry plans to release one Android powered smartphone every quarter over the next nine months. This is quite a bold…
