Just one month after releasing the Infinix hot 8, Transiin Holdings, the company behind Infinix released the S5, a phone which is currently available through pre-order. While the 2GB variant of the hot 8 retaiks at between Ksh. 10,000 and 12,000, the S5 goes for Ksh.16,499. Thats quite a huge price gap, and in this article we are going to compare the two phones spec by spec to find out if the S5 is justified to sell for such a price range, or if the Hot 8 is a better bargain. Though both phones have a number of similar specs, the S5 seems to have some slight advantage over the hot 8, but is that a justification of the huge price range? Both the hot 8 and S5 support 2G, 3G and 4G networks, but unfortunately both dont support band 28. Both run on Android 9 (pie) and powered by a 12 nm Mediatek Helio P22 chipset.

Any parent Knows too well the feeling I am having right now for Oppo, a smartphone brand based in China. The feeling of seeing your child improve steadily in class; then one day..with no clear reasons, totally hates class work. This is exactly what Oppo has put us through, with their latest launch that should have well never happened. It first came as a tease that Oppo was about to launch the Oppo reno 2 with quad camera setup and 20 x zoom. Apart from the shark fin pop up, details about other specs were scanty, and like any other tech enthusiasts, all we had to do was try and predict what we would probably expect from the launch. Sure enough, we made some correct ones, for example I expected a 48 MP primary camera, and the reno 2 gave us just that. Come 28th August and as promised, Oppo gave us the reno 2 in an event in new Delhi India. The reno 2 even came with two siblings, the reno 2F and reno 2Z. This even made things look more worst.(will explain this later). Apart from the p...

Recent frontiers in phone design have been largely focused on the display, with an attempt to either give us a full screen display with zero bezels or fully utilize flexible displays and come up with foldable phones. In order to achieve as much display as possible while maintaining the phone size, various phone manufacturers have tried different approaches, according to how far their engineering capabilities could take them. The biggest challenge in achieving a full screen display has been the selfie camera, whichbis now a must have smartphone spec, the earpiece and the infra red sensors.
