Buying Guide
Honestly, the best phone for you depends on what you do all day. Taking lots of photos? Stick to iPhone or Samsung. Just need a battery that survives a 12-hour shift without touching a charger? Infinix and Realme are pushing insane battery sizes right now. But whatever you do, get one with NFC if you use M-Pesa a lot — it'll save you so much time at the till.
