When it comes to purchasing a smartphone, there are basic specifications to look at before making a decision. With Ksh5, 000, 10,000 up to Ksh30, 000, you can have a very nice smartphone with all the powerful features you want.
When you go to a site like Jumia or Kaymu and you want a phone that suites your budget am sure you look at the price first before anything. But I will advise you today to look at the brand first, specifications and then the price later.
If you get a smartphone with at least the following features, buy it:
At least 8 MP-meaning at least 8 mega pixel camer.This phone can make very clear pictures.
At least 1 GB RAM. In layman’s language, RAM is used to measure how fast you can browse and the speed at which the phone processes information.1 GB RAM is good enough to make yourself comfortable when browsing.
Dual SIM.A phone which is Dual SIM capacity means you can have two lines, one of Safaricom and another one of Airtel.If a smartphone has this feature consider buying it.
Android 5.1 Lollipop. This is a powerful system used to develop the most stable phones. A smartphone with Android system will ensure the smartphone is very stable. This feature is very important because you will not have issues of your screen hanging or the phone switching itself at some times.
At least 8GB internal memory. Internal memory is very essential. If a phone has at least 8 GB of this memory, then it’s capable of holding at least 1000 videos and thousands of photos. The phone should also have ability to have memory card slot.
At leas1800mAh.This means the time your phone can hold power before it goes off. The more your phone holds power the better. A phone with 1800mAh capacity can hold power up to 3 days .Most smartphones hold power for few hours.
Looking at the specs above, I can conclude that the best brands to buy in Kenya include Samsung, HTC, LG, iPhone, Huawei,Tecno,Sony and blackberry. But you can do try and error with other brands.
