Phones & Tablets FAQs
Common questions about Phones & Tablets answered by our team
Where can I buy an original iPhone in Kenya?
Which is better, iPhone or Samsung?
It depends on your priorities. iPhones lead on software longevity, resale value and Apple ecosystem pairing. Samsung offers more choice at every price, from A-series to S-series and folding Z models. Call us with your budget and we will compare specific models honestly.
How do I check a phone is original?
Buy from an authorised reseller, keep the sealed box, and verify the IMEI by dialling *#06# and checking it against the manufacturer's tool. We verify every device before dispatch, and with cash on delivery you can inspect before paying.
What is an eSIM, and does it work in Kenya?
An eSIM is a digital SIM built into the phone, with no physical card needed. Major Kenyan networks support eSIM activation. Some recent iPhone variants are eSIM-only, so confirm your preferred option on the product page before ordering.
Can I use an iPad instead of a laptop?
For browsing, email, streaming and note-taking with an Apple Pencil, an iPad handles most everyday tasks. Add a keyboard for typing. For heavy multitasking or desktop software, a laptop from Computers is the better choice.

How to Choose the Right Phone
Start with four questions, and the right phone usually reveals itself.
Storage. 128GB suits most people. Choose 256GB or more if you shoot a lot of video or rarely delete photos.
Camera. If photography matters most, a flagship such as an iPhone 17 or Galaxy S26 will out-shoot any budget phone in low light and detail.
Battery. Check the battery capacity in mAh, and consider how a day of your usage maps to it before you decide.
Ecosystem. Already using a MacBook or iPad, an iPhone slots straight in. Prefer more choice for your money and easy file transfer, a Galaxy gives you room to move.
If value is the priority, a previous-generation flagship often beats a brand-new mid-range phone on camera, display and speed at a similar price. Still unsure, call or WhatsApp us on (+254) 722 300 252 and we will recommend options for your budget, with no pressure.
iPhone or Samsung, Which Should You Buy
Choose an iPhone for long software support, strong resale value in Kenya, and seamless pairing with iPad, MacBook, Apple Watch and AirPods. Choose a Samsung Galaxy for more hardware choice at every price point, from the affordable A-series to S-series flagships and folding Z models, and for features like S Pen support on Ultra devices. Neither is simply better. The right answer depends on your budget, the devices you already own, and what you want the camera to do. Our team uses and sells both every day and will advise honestly.

Common Mistakes When Buying a Phone
Buying on storage alone. A 256GB budget phone is still a budget phone. Processor, camera and display matter more day to day.
Pairing a genuine phone with a fake charger. Counterfeit chargers degrade batteries. Protect your investment with a genuine one from Accessories.
Overlooking SIM options. Some recent iPhone variants come in eSIM-only and physical-SIM versions. Check which suits your line, our pages state both.
Skipping the case and protector. The cheapest insurance for an expensive phone costs a few thousand shillings.

Protect and power your new phone with genuine cases, chargers and power banks, add an Apple Watch or wireless earbuds, and creators can pick up an Apple Pencil for iPad work.
