The iPhone is a really good phone. Very quick and snappy due to how iOS works. Needs almost half of the RAM to maintain the same performance as Android.

The camera is superb especially when it comes to taking videos it is second to none.

Particularly nice if you own a MacBook as well.

The only issue I have is the retail price. In Kenya it costs 100k+ to buy a new release. That cost is too much. Unless if there were so much more extra features.

I also like the dual SIM capability of most Android powered brands

I am gettin the 3T one plus in matte black. Or possibly just hold on until the end of the year for the next version. I hope they fix the bulging camera in the phone. Lord knows it will be scratched up pretty bad.

This was my main worry at first as well. The bulging camera. I am a very clumsy person. I have dropped my phone countless times from the kitchen counter especially to the floor(not on purpose of course) and all is well. The gorilla Glass on the front is also strong enough. I have never used a screen protector as it removes the aesthetic appeal in my opinion. Ni kama kuweka metallic grills on the front bumper of a Mercedes. Phone is still 100% intact.

From the pics, you can see the camera is also okay

Wait for the Oneplus 5 to be released this year.

Bought this phone in Aug as an upgrade from Samsung s6 and I have to say I am very impressed.

Cost: 50k from the best phone shop in Kenya. www.avechi.com. Disadvantage: This phone doesn’t come with earphones. Probably to increase the profit margin since this phone is packed with the same hardware as the S7s etc. So in this case I bought the JBL synchros 10 for 4k. A later review about them

Looks: Full aluminium build and very slim(less than 8mm). 5’5 inches but slim and tall. Overall it is very sleek. I have had so many people ask me what phone that is even supermarket attendants very impressed and asking me if it was the iPhone 7 . Disadvantage: it can easily slip out of your pocket due to the fact that it is too slim and the aluminium build is a bit slippery.

Battery: 3000mAh. Will easily give you a day’s charge and about 6hr charge on my beast mode (i.e. playing FIFA online). Lack of bloatware such as Samsung and HTC helps. Comes with dash charging and is probably the fastest charging phone at the moment. 45mins full charge. 30mins charge lasts me from morning to evening. Disadvantage: Uses a USB TYPE C cable so you definitely really fucked if you want to transfer some files to an offline computer or laptop or charge your phone and you forgot your cable.

Performance: Packs the Snapdragon 820 and Adreno 530. Ram is 6Gb(highest in a production smartphone in the world). My phone has hanged less than 10 times since I purchased and that is because of some rogue apps. I am a heavy gamer and my average RAM usage to date is 3GB. This can be attributed to lack of bloatware as well. I have 72 apps on my phone so that is impressive(I don’t delete apps)

Storage: 64GB non expandable. Comes with around 55GB free on purchase. This is enough for me. I have 1360 songs, just over 2000 videos and 11k images.

Camera:

Back camera is 16mp. Takes high quality photos but not as good as my friend’s S7. I attribute this to poor post processing since it doesn’t make colors as vibrant. I got better photos by changing to another camera app. Don’t be worried though, picture quality is obviously MILES AHEAD of the tecno etc.

Front Camera: Now this is very impressive. Packs an 8mp from camera of the same make and build as the iPhone 5 back camera.Performs better than the infinix back camera . The newer one plus 3T packs 16mp front camera . It has a beauty and smile detector. The later is very sensitive and you may have to disable it at times.

Sound: For those that play loud music on phones for whatever reason that would not be understood, this phone is fucking loud. Louder than the iPhone or the S7 edge. The alarm WILL DEFINITELY wake you.

Additional

1. Gestures - has simple and very handy gestures for things like(turn on camera app without unlocking phone by drawing O on the screen, flashlight with V, Previous, pause and next for audio without unlocking the phone, slide 3 fingers on screen for screenshot

2. Dual SIM. Very handy especially if you run a business and have a personal and work line. Additional small features like setting a different ringtone for different sim cards make it easy to manage the phone.

3. Upgrades: Packs Oxygen OS which is very lightweight. Upgrades are fast and stable. I got Nougat on Dec.

4. Floss factor. I have only met one person with this phone so very high for those that care. Very unique.

5. Fingerprint sensor. This may be the fastest fingerprint sensor out there. The only disadvantage is that you can add upto 5 fingers.

6. Screen - Comes with a super AMOLED display. Colors are nice but I was not happy that it doesn’t pack a quadHD screen. Quality is definitely above average but not Samsung S7 edge level. Samsung has the best screens in my opinion.

Overall it is a great phone. I will definitely be sticking to this flagship this year.But I will wait for the Pixel to come out first and compare. The only feature that I wish added for it to be water proof.

I am a big fan of Xiaomi and have not used another phone for 5 years. Want to upgrade to xiaomi mi6. Was considering Huawei honor 8, not available locally. The thing about Xiaomi is their cloud backup and the rom.The specs rival those of top brands at half the cost
