**Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro Review: The Ultimate Gaming Flagship**

The Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro is the ultimate gaming smartphone for 2025, combining raw power, advanced cooling, and intelligent design built specifically for gamers. Asus has refined its ROG series once again, making the 8 Pro not just a gaming beast but also a versatile flagship that performs exceptionally well in everyday use.

**Unmatched Gaming Performance**

At the heart of the ROG Phone 8 Pro is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, paired with up to 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM and ultra-fast UFS 4.0 storage. This setup ensures lightning-fast performance in any game, from Genshin Impact to Fortnite and Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile. The phone’s GameCool 8 thermal system keeps temperatures low, maintaining stable frame rates even during long gaming marathons.

**120Hz AMOLED Display with Adaptive Brightness**

The 6.78-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display supports a 165Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ certification, offering a smooth, vivid, and immersive experience. The adaptive refresh rate intelligently switches between 1Hz and 165Hz to conserve power when gaming or streaming. Every detail, from motion to color accuracy, feels precise and fluid, giving players a competitive edge.

**Pro-Level Cooling System**

One of the ROG Phone 8 Pro’s biggest strengths is its advanced cooling technology. The AeroActive Cooler X accessory, included with higher variants, significantly reduces heat buildup during intense gameplay. Combined with the phone’s internal vapor chamber, it allows gamers to enjoy marathon sessions without throttling or discomfort.

**Long Battery Life and Superfast Charging**

The 6000mAh dual-cell battery ensures you can game for hours without worrying about power. It supports 65W fast charging, getting you from 0% to 100% in less than 40 minutes. The phone’s bypass charging feature also lets you play while plugged in without heating the battery—ideal for long competitive matches.

**Immersive Audio and Custom Controls**

The dual front-facing speakers deliver loud, crisp audio, while the AirTrigger ultrasonic sensors provide customizable shoulder buttons that mimic a console-like experience. These features make gameplay more intuitive and responsive, especially for shooters and racing games.

**Who It’s Best For**

The Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro is best for serious mobile gamers, streamers, and esports enthusiasts who demand the highest level of performance. It’s also a great fit for power users who multitask heavily, thanks to its smooth UI and flagship-level optimization.

**Final Verdict**

The Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro sets a new benchmark for gaming smartphones in 2025. With its elite performance, superior cooling, and gaming-focused design, it’s the perfect phone for those who want desktop-level power in their hands.

Nokia G11: An Affordable Smartphone Worth Considering in Kenya

The Nokia G11 is a budget-friendly smartphone that presents a solid value proposition for Kenyan buyers who want a dependable daily driver without the premium price tag. With its decent specification sheet, clean Android experience and trusted brand, it’s an option worth a look.

Specifications

Display: 6.5-inch IPS LCD, HD+ resolution (720×1600) with 90 Hz refresh rate. (HMD – Human Mobile Devices)
Processor: Unisoc T606 (12 nm) octa-core chipset. (Gadgets 360)
Memory & Storage: Typically 3GB or 4GB RAM and 32GB or 64GB storage — with microSD support for expansion. (Gadgets 360)
Rear Cameras: Triple setup – 13 MP main + 2 MP macro + 2 MP depth. Front: 8 MP. (Gadgets 360)
Battery: 5,050mAh battery with support for 18W charging (though shipped with a lower-wattage charger in many markets). (HMD – Human Mobile Devices)
Software & Updates: Ships with Android 11, promises two years of OS upgrades and three years of security updates. (HMD – Human Mobile Devices)
Other features: Side-mounted fingerprint sensor, 4G LTE, USB-C port, 3.5mm headphone jack. (Gadgets 360)

Why it’s a good buy in Kenya

Trusted brand: Nokia has long been synonymous with reliability, which gives this model an edge over unknown budget brands.
Clean Android experience: Without bloat-heavy skins this machine offers a near-stock interface, making it simpler and arguably more stable — helpful for first-time smartphone buyers or secondary phones.
Large battery + 90Hz display: For the price category, the G11 offers a premium touch with a higher refresh rate (90Hz), which makes UI interactions smoother. Battery capacity means you should easily get through a full day with moderate use — ideal for commuters, students or those who need a dependable phone on-the-go.
Expandable storage & headphone jack: Many budget phones sacrifice these, but the G11 keeps them — so you can use microSD cards and your regular wired headphones without fuss.
Fair local availability & service: Being a known brand means spare parts or service centres may be more reachable in Kenya than ultra-cheap import phones.

Weaknesses to consider

HD+ resolution only: At this price you might expect full HD, but the display is 720p. That means visuals (text, videos) won’t be quite as sharp as more expensive models.
Modest internal hardware: The Unisoc T606 and 3–4GB of RAM are fine for everyday tasks, social media, streaming — but don’t expect high-end gaming or heavy multitasking. Some users report lag. > “3gb of Ram and a poor Unisoc processor is why the G11 is so slow” (Reddit)
Charging isn’t blazing fast: While 18W support is listed, the included charger may be lower wattage, so charging the large battery may take time.
Camera performance is basic: The triple camera setup is serviceable for daylight shots and casual use but won’t rival flagship phones in low light or in detail.
Price variation & competing offers: Some retailers list the G11 at variable prices and newer models from competitors may offer stronger specs at similar price points.

Price in Kenya & Where to Buy
According to local listings, the Nokia G11 is priced around KSh 19,650 in Kenya (price may vary by retailer, stock and promo). (Mobile with Prices) Another listing shows KSh 25,000 for a variant. (Starmac Kenya)
Trusted Kenyan-based online shops where you can check availability:

Conclusion
If your budget is modest (around KSh 20,000) and you’re after a no-fuss phone that handles everyday tasks, offers good battery life, reliable brand and service support in Kenya, the Nokia G11 is a smart choice. Just go in with realistic expectations about performance and camera quality — you won’t get flagship features, but for its price it delivers strong fundamentals.

Tecno Camon 19 – Budget-Friendly Smartphone for Kenya

If you’re looking for a smartphone in Kenya that offers good value without going into high budget territory, the Tecno Camon 19 is a worthy option.

Why it’s a good budget phone in Kenya

The Camon 19 delivers quite a lot for its price: a large 6.8-inch-screen, a 64 MP main camera, 5,000 mAh battery and a well-known brand. According to local Kenyan retailers the price is around KSh 22,000 to KSh 24,000 for the base 4 GB/128 GB variant. (Starmac)
For Kenyan users who want reliable everyday performance—social media, streaming, photos, basic gaming—this phone gives solid specs without pushing the budget too far.

Specifications

Display: 6.8″ IPS LCD, Full HD+ resolution (1080×2460 pixels). (queensmobile.co.ke)
Processor: MediaTek Helio G85 (12 nm) octa-core. (Insider Kenya)

Strengths

Large display: The 6.8″ screen gives plenty of space for video, browsing and multitasking.
Good camera for the price: A 64 MP main lens puts it ahead of many budget phones, and the RGBW sensor claims to improve low-light photography. (Insider Kenya)
Battery life: The 5,000 mAh battery should comfortably last a full day of moderate use.
Trusted brand and local support: Being a widely available model in Kenya means parts, service and familiarity are easier.
Solid value: For KSh 22,000–24,000 you’re getting features that meet everyday needs without jumping to high tier phones.

Weaknesses

Refresh rate and premium features: The display doesn’t list a high refresh rate (e.g., 90 Hz or more) in many specs, so scrolling may feel less smooth compared to more expensive phones.
4 G only: If you’re looking to future-proof with 5G, this model is limited to 4G LTE.
Mid-tier chipset performance: The Helio G85 is competent for daily tasks, but heavy gaming or demanding apps may show limitations.
Basic secondary cameras: The 2 MP depth and QVGA sensors are modest and won’t match the ultra-wide or telephoto lenses found in higher-price phones.
Build materials & software updates: To keep costs down, some materials may be less premium and long-term software/support may not match flagship brands.

Price in Kenya & Where to Buy

Starmac Kenya lists the 4 GB/128 GB variant at KSh 22,499. (Starmac)
Queens Mobile Kenya lists the phone in the range of KSh 23,999–24,999. (queensmobile.co.ke)

Conclusion

If your budget in Kenya allows around KSh 22,000-25,000 and you want a phone that covers key needs—good display, decent camera, dependable battery, brand reliability—then the Tecno Camon 19 is a strong candidate. It doesn’t offer the bleeding-edge features of high-end phones (5G, ultra-premium materials, top-tier chipset), but for everyday use it gives very good value.

Samsung Galaxy A06 – Smart Budget Choice for Kenya

If you’re hunting for a solid budget smartphone in Kenya that balances cost and features, the Samsung Galaxy A06 deserves a serious look.

Why it’s a good budget phone in Kenya

The Galaxy A06 punches above its price with specs that often belong to higher-budget models, yet you’ll find it in Kenya for around KSh 11,200–13,500 for the 4GB/64GB or 4GB/128GB variant. (Orifon Limited)
That makes it accessible while offering a large 6.7-inch display, a 50MP main camera, 5,000 mAh battery and the backing of the Samsung brand. Given how many budget phones compromise on essentials, the Galaxy A06 gives more confidence of reliable performance and software support.
While you won’t get flagship-grade luxury, for everyday tasks—social media, streaming, apps, photos—it covers what most users in Kenya need at a reasonable price.

Specifications

Display: 6.7″ PLS/PLS-LCD (HD+ 720×1600) resolution. (Price Point)
Processor: MediaTek Helio G85 (12 nm) octa-core. (Price Point)
RAM/Storage: 4 GB RAM with 64 GB or 128 GB storage (some markets list 6GB/128GB) and microSD expansion. (Price Point)
Rear cameras: 50 MP main + 2 MP depth. (Orifon Limited)
Front camera: 8 MP. (Jumia Kenya)
Battery: 5,000 mAh with support for 25W wired charging in advertised spec. (queensmobile.co.ke)
Software & updates: Ships with Android 14; Samsung advertises approx 2 major OS upgrades (to Android 16) and several years of security updates. (Price Point)
Build and extras: Dual SIM support, fingerprint (side-mounted), USB-C port, standard 3.5mm audio jack in many markets. (Price Point)

Strengths

Great value for money: With a price around KSh 11,000–13,000 you’re getting a branded device with competent specs.
Large display: The 6.7″ screen gives ample room for browsing, video streaming and casual gaming.
Good camera for the class: A 50MP main rear sensor beats many rivals in budget tiers that still use much lower-resolution cameras.
Longer software support: With Samsung’s update promise, you’re more future-proof than generic budget brands.
Adequate battery: 5,000 mAh gives you all-day use in typical Kenyan scenarios (WhatsApp, calls, social media).
Expandable storage: The ability to add a microSD card means you’re less constrained by base storage.

Weaknesses

Display resolution is only HD+: At 720p the sharpness won’t match Full HD phones; you’ll notice less crispness especially if you’re used to better resolution.
No 5G: This is a 4G LTE device in many markets, so if you want future-proofing for 5G you’ll need to look higher.
Basic front camera & secondary lens: The 8MP selfie camera and 2MP depth sensor are modest; low-light performance and versatility will lag behind pricier phones.
Modest chipset performance: The Helio G85 is competent for everyday tasks but heavy gaming or very demanding apps may struggle or slow.
Plastic build and budget materials: At this price you’ll likely get plastic back and frame rather than premium metal/glass finishes.

Price in Kenya & where to buy

Currently listed at about KSh 11,200 for the 4GB/64GB variant in some shops. (Orifon Limited)
Other listings show KSh 12,500 for similar variants. (Digital Phones)
A 64 GB/4GB kit listed at KSh 13,500 on BestPrice Kenya. (bestprice.co.ke)
Purchase links: Queens Mobile Kenya – Galaxy A06 (selling around KSh 11,999-12,999) (queensmobile.co.ke) , Orifon Kenya – Galaxy A06 (about KSh 11,200) (Orifon Limited)

Conclusion

If your budget hovers around KSh 11,000-14,000 and you want a dependable smartphone that doesn’t feel overly compromised, the Galaxy A06 is a strong contender. It offers the credibility of the Samsung brand, solid cameras, a large display, respectable battery life and decent software support. You’ll sacrifice some premium features (higher resolution, ultra-wide camera, 5G, premium materials) but if your day-to-day needs centre on messaging, social media, streaming, photos and regular apps, this phone delivers more than you might expect for the price in Kenya.

The Infinix Hot 60i offers a compelling mix of features for its price, making it a strong choice for budget-buyers in Kenya. Here’s what you get, what’s good, what’s weak, and where to buy it.

Specifications

Component	Details
Display	6.7-inch IPS LCD, HD+ (720×1600), 120Hz refresh rate, ~700 nits peak brightness (Zenex Technologies)
Processor / Chipset	MediaTek Helio G81 Ultimate (12nm) (phonetronicskenya.co.ke)
RAM & Storage	Variants: 4/128 GB, 6/128 GB, 8/256 GB etc, plus “extended RAM” in some models. Expandable via microSD. (phonetronicskenya.co.ke)
Rear Camera	50 MP + dual LED flash (phonetronicskenya.co.ke)
Front Camera	8 MP (phonetronicskenya.co.ke)
Battery	5,160 mAh with 45W fast charging and reverse wired charging in some listings (phonetronicskenya.co.ke)
Software	Android 15 with XOS 15.1 or 15.1.1 (phonetronicskenya.co.ke)
Other features	Side-mounted fingerprint sensor, IP64 splash/dust resistance, stereo speakers, 3.5mm jack, IR Blaster, etc. (Zenex Technologies)

Strengths

Good refresh rate & display: 120Hz gives smoother scrolling and more responsive feel compared to many low-end phones stuck at 60Hz.
Large battery + fast charging: The 5,160 mAh battery helps for long usage, and 45W charging reduces downtime.
Decent camera for price: A 50 MP main camera is above what many budget phones offer, so photo quality is acceptable in good light.
Modern extras: Features like IP64 rating, stereo speakers, fingerprint sensor on the side add usability and durability.
Multiple variants: Ability to choose among 4/6/8 GB RAM and different storage sizes allows fitting budget and needs.

Weaknesses

HD+ resolution only: Despite the large screen, the resolution is low (720p), so sharper detail may be lacking.
No 5G: Only 4G LTE is supported, so future-proofing for newcomers might be limited.
Processor is mid/entry level: Helio G81 Ultimate is okay for everyday apps and light gaming, but may lag under heavy loads or graphics-intensive games.
Plastic build on some parts: To keep cost down, some finishes may be less premium.
Advertisements / bloat software: As with many phones in this price range, some users report ads or pre-installed apps that aren’t easy to remove.

Price in Kenya & Where to Buy

Variant	Approx Price (KES)	Stores / Links
128 GB + 6 GB RAM	KES 12,500 to KES 13,650 (phonetronicskenya.co.ke)	Phonetronics Kenya (phonetronicskenya.co.ke); Rondamo Technologies (rondamo.co.ke); Mighty Ape Kenya (mightyape.co.ke); Shopit Limited (shopit.co.ke)

Other listings / general price range	KES 14,500 to KES 17,600 depending on variant & store (Mobile Hub Kenya)

Why It’s a Good Budget Pick in Kenya

Because of its price-to-features ratio, the Hot 60i gives users a taste of more premium-looking phones without breaking the bank. For people who mostly use phones for social media, messaging, video watching, and occasional gaming, it delivers enough. Also, the battery life and fast charging are strong selling points in areas where power access or frequent charging may be issues. Water/splash resistance adds peace of mind during rainy seasons or travel. If you don’t need top-tier gaming or 5G, this phone gets very close to “good enough” at a much lower cost.

Recommended Buying Tips

Always buy from reliable local shops that offer warranty (e.g. Smartphone City KE, Phonetronics, Mighty Ape).
Confirm the exact variant (RAM + storage) before purchase. Lower RAM will affect performance.
Check that fast charger (45W) is included in the box.
Ask for imported phone taxes / duties if ordering from outside Nairobi or from overseas.

If you are looking for something under KES 15,000 that gives modern features, decent camera, and long battery, Infinix Hot 60i is one of the better options available right now.

Why the UMIDIGI G5 Mecha Is Underrated — and Why It’s a Solid Value

Introduction
There are so many phones around the KSh 35,000–45,000 range that it’s easy to dismiss lesser-known brands. But the UMIDIGI G5 Mecha deserves a closer look. It’s rugged, powerful enough for everyday tasks, and in many ways gives more than what you pay for. Here’s why this phone is underrated — and worth considering — along with its current market price in Kenya and where you can buy it.

What the UMIDIGI G5 Mecha Brings to the Table

Durability and Build
The G5 Mecha comes with IP68 and IP69K ratings, plus MIL-STD-810G certification. That means water, dust, drops, and rough conditions are less likely to damage it. For those working outdoors or in demanding environments, that ruggedness is a big plus. (umidigi.com)
Battery Life
With a 6,000 mAh battery, this phone seriously outlasts many mainstream options in its price bracket. You won’t have to constantly search for a charger. For people travelling, using outdoors, or forgetting to plug in at night, this is very important. (umidigi.com)
Memory & Storage
It has 8 GB RAM + 8 GB “extended” RAM and 128 GB internal storage (expandable up to 1 TB via TF card). While it’s not a flagship on speed, that capacity means you get decent multitasking (for its level) and room for apps, photos, videos, etc. (umidigi.com)
Camera Setup
The main rear camera is 50 MP, which for this price is strong. Paired with a depth sensor (2 MP) and an 8 MP selfie camera. The rear setup performs well in good lighting. Not perfect in low light, but solid for regular use. (umidigi.com)
Display, Processor, and Other Features
It has a 6.6-inch HD+ display (720×1612) using IPS technology, Unisoc T606 chipset, and essential features like side fingerprint sensor, face unlock, dual SIM, USB-C, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. It’s modest but covers what most users need. (umidigi.com)

Where It Falls Short

The display is HD+, not Full HD or higher, so sharpness is weaker especially for those used to very crisp screens. (umidigi.com)
Charging is slow at 10 W, especially considering how large the battery is. If you regularly need quick top-ups, this might be frustrating. (umidigi.com)
No NFC in many versions, which means mobile payments or some modern features are absent. (GSMchoice)
At 225 g weight and nearly 10 mm thickness, this is not a light phone — rugged phones rarely are, but it does add bulk. (umidigi.com)

Why It’s Underrated

Because many people judge phones solely on brand, screen resolution, or flashy features. The UMIDIGI G5 Mecha instead focuses on durability, battery, and usable features. For people who need a phone that works in tougher conditions (outdoor work, travel, etc.), or just want long battery and reliable basics, this, despite its trade-offs, gives excellent value. It doesn’t pretend to be a flagship but delivers strong returns for its price.

Current Price in Kenya

On Ubuy Kenya, the price is about KES 30,797 for a unit with 8 GB+8 GB extended RAM / 128 GB storage. (Ubuy Kenya)
Local price estimates put it under KSh 40,000 for many shops. (Mobileinto)

So, expect to pay somewhere between KES 30,000 to KES 40,000 depending on stock, shipping, and seller reliability.

Where to Buy It in Kenya

Ubuy Kenya — imports the device, stock in the KSh 30,000–31,000 range. (Ubuy Kenya)
Whizz.co.ke — carries the rugged version with the stated specs (8 GB+128 GB, etc.). (Whizz)
Local mobile shops / online stores — as the model is known, many shops list it just under KSh 40,000. (Mobileinto)

Conclusion

The UMIDIGI G5 Mecha is underrated because it doesn’t chase the highest resolution screen or fastest charging, but it doubles down on what many people really care about: battery life, rugged build, good enough performance, and decent cameras. If you value reliability and durability more than flashy specs, then this phone gives you solid value for your money. For under KES 40,000, it’s hard to find something that balances ruggedness, battery, camera, and usable specs so well.

Why the HMD Skyline Is Underrated But Offers Great Value

Design & Build Quality That Stand Out
The HMD Skyline blends style and substance in a way few mid-range phones do. It revives Nokia’s Lumia design legacy with flat edges, striking color options (Neon Pink, Twisted Black, Blue Topaz), and a matte finish that feels premium without being flashy. The device is also user-repairable: back cover, battery, and display parts are all replaceable, supported by iFixit-style guides and available spare parts. That makes it more sustainable over time. (HMD – Human Mobile Devices)

Impressive Hardware Specs for the Price
Under the hood, the Skyline packs solid internals: a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chip, paired with 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage in the full variant. The display is a 6.55-inch P-OLED panel with 144 Hz refresh rate and good brightness (1000 nits peak), which makes scrolling smooth and media viewing sharper than many rivals. (GSMArena)

Camera is another plus: rear triple setup with a 108 MP main sensor with OIS, a 50 MP telephoto, and 13 MP ultrawide; selfies are handled by a 50 MP front camera. Also, it includes a user-replaceable 4600 mAh battery, 5G connectivity, and upgradeable software (Android 14 with promised upgrades). (HMD – Human Mobile Devices)

Real-World Value Where It Counts

Repairability saves money long term. Parts are easier to get and many repairs don’t require specialized factories.
Good camera + display combo means it’s more than just a work-horse; it can handle social media content, low-light photos, etc., competitively.
Large storage + generous RAM mean you won’t be constantly clearing space.

Trade-Offs to Keep in Mind

Charging speed is moderate: roughly 33W wired, plus 15W wireless, which isn’t the fastest, so full charge takes time. (HMD – Human Mobile Devices)
Build is premium, but IP rating is IP54, which stands up to splashes, not full water immersion. (GSMArena)
Some users note that brightness at times may lag flagship display alternatives under very bright sunlight. (WIRED)

Current Price in Kenya & Where to Buy

Phonetronics Kenya lists the 12 GB + 256 GB variant at KES 27,500. (Phonetronics Kenya)
On Jumia Kenya, prices are around KES 27,799 to KES 28,699 depending on model and seller. (Jumia Kenya)
Digital Phones Kenya has it priced at KES 27,000 for the same specs. (Digital Phones)
Avechi Kenya also lists the 5G 12/256 variant at about KES 27,699. (Avechi Kenya)
Kilimall has a slightly higher listing: KES 29,600 for local dispatch. (Kilimall)

Why It’s Underrated Compared to Competitors

It doesn’t always get as much hype as phones from larger brands, so people overlook it when looking for “the newest features.”
Many buyers focus on ultra-fast charging or ultra high refresh rates, but Skyline’s balance of repairs, camera performance, display quality, and sustainability is more practical for everyday users.
Its repairable design, useable camera setup, and solid display specs give more long-term value than many phones in its price range that skimp on these details.

Final Verdict
If you can get the HMD Skyline in Kenya around KES 27,000-29,000 as it currently sells, you’re getting an excellent deal. For those who care about style, repairability, camera performance, and a good display without overpaying for luxury noise, the Skyline hits a sweet spot. It may not be perfect, but for what it offers and at this price, it’s underrated and definitely worth considering.
