iPhone 11

Follwing Samsung Galalxy 20+ among the best latest pones is the best iPhone for most people. At the time of this update iPhone 12 is to be released next month.

Below is iPhone 11 Features

Iphone11 in kenya

The iPhone 11 isn’t technically superior to the iPhone 11 Pro series, but its price in Kenya is budget friendly (for an iPhone) and comes with most of the key features you’ll need from an Apple device. It takes the place of the iPhone XR with the same 6.1-inch screen, but a new dual-lens camera on the back.

Why we rank it 2nd: It’s not as good of a value as Samsung’s top-ranked handset, but the iPhone 11 is the best iPhone for most people simply because it costs from Ksh 78,999. That’s cheaper than the XR at launch a year ago, and much more affordable than the iPhone 11 Pro, which starts at Ksh 115,000 and goes up. And, unlike the iPhone SE 2020, which we praise for being a good value later, you’re getting most of the features found on the Pro-level handsets like the camera’s stunning Night Mode.

Here is a video review of iPhone 11.

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, Note 20

Samsung Galalxy Note 20 Ultra 20s’ 5x optical camera zoom crushes it. Among the best phone camera it has one of the best camera if not the best.

Galalxy Note 20 ultra and Galalxy Note 20 in kenya

Below is Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Features

The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is among Samsung’s most expensive phones, and the big catch of the Note is that it comes with an amazing camera. The 5x optical zoom and 50x digital zoom, any creatives dream be it videography and Photography. In addition, The S Pen returns with new tricks like recording voice notes and syncing them with handwritten notes. In Kenya Note 20 Ultra price begins from

Why we rank it 3rd: This is Samsung’s most powerful phone, but more expensive than the S20 series. The Note 20 Ultra comes with: a stylus, a camera with 5x optical zoom and 50x digital zoom, a faster chipset (across its competitors except iPhones’ 13 Bionic chipsets), and a 6.9-inch 120Hz screen.

In conclusion, Not everyone needs an ‘everything phone’ like this, but if you want it all and maybe don’t fancy Galaxy Z Fold 2 and not an iPhone loyalist this is the phone for you.

Here is Galalxy Note 20 ultra review.

iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max

The spec-superior iPhones. Overall best performance phones. Thanks to its latest A13 Bionic chipset.

iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max are almost exactly the same, except for the different screen and battery sizes, as well as prices. Your choice will depend on your budget and how large your grip is.

iphone 11 Pro and iphone 11 pro max

Below is iPhone 11 Pro Max Features

Why we Rank it 4th: The iPhone 11 Pro Max is Apple’s largest and most feature rich cell phone as of 2020 October until Apple 12 is released, and likewise, it is generally more costly.Under the hood you have A13 Bionic processor chipset, the best phone chipset at the moment. While a similar amount of cash could get you a Samsung telephone with a greater screen and more features, most iOS clients would prefer not to manage Android.

iPhone SE 2020

The best cheapest new iPhone

iPhone SE 2020 in kenya

If you are coming from iphone 8, iPhone 7, iPhone 6 you will appreciate this phone.

Below is iPhone SE 2020 features

iPhone SE 2020 is the continuation of the one-hand-friendly iPhone from 2016, and it comes with the power and specs we cherish from the iPhone 11 series and packs them into the design of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8.

Why we rank it 6th: This isn’t Apple’s most powerful iPhone, but it’s the best value for money for people who want to stick with the iPhone brand and the superior iOS 13 without spending a lot. Its screen technology won’t wow you like an iPhone 11 Pro, and there’s just one camera on the back, but starting Ksh 399 means this is hard to be if you’re on a budget and don’t want to switch to Android.

Samsung Galaxy S10+ and Samsung Galaxy S10

Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus (specs below) was among the best phone in 2019 and is still a top choice in 2020/21, and the Samsung Galaxy S10 is also a strong contender if you want a smaller screen, and you can get them cheaper than their launch prices, which were $999 and up originally.

Below Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus Features.

Why we rank it 8th: Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus was among the No. 1 best phone in Kenya in 2018 and better part of of 2019. The Snapdragon 855 chipset performed well (and still does), the 6.4-inch screen impressive with sharp curves on the right and left sides, and the camera was among the top-ranked.Compared to the best 2020 phones, It takes a backseat but is still a value-for-money choice.

If looking for a cheaper but almost same pack of features check out Samsung Galaxy S10e and Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite.

iPhone XR

If you’re looking for an affordable iPhone, the iPhone XR is a strong contender for the latest software, enough power and surprisingly good battery life… for an iPhone. With the introduction of the iPhone SE 2020 , the XR is the second cheapest iphone, making it great value for money.

iPhone XR the most sold iPhone in 2019

Best Phone Overall

iPhone 11 Pro is the best phone overall.

Best camera Phone:

Samsung’s Galaxy S20 Ultra is all about the camera. it is the best phone with a camera. It packs a sensor that can take 108-megapixel images and offers a whopping 100x zoom to close up on distant details. But it’s not alone in having an impressive camera: Top-end handsets such as the iPhone 11 Pro and Google Pixel 4

Best Phone in Performance.

The A13 Bionic chipset in the iPhone 11 Pro Max surpasses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset inside the Galaxy S20 Ultra, just like it beat phones powered by last year’s Snapdragon 855 system-on-chip.

Best Budget Phone

Best Value for Money

It’s what you get and the price you get it that allows Samsung Galaxy S20+ to win. You’re getting bigger screens, more internal storage, expandable storage, and longer battery life.
