If you’re waiting until the last minute to buy a Smartphone for the holidays, we have you covered.
Rankings were based on a variety of factors including design, software and hardware features, content selection, and price.
We are only considering phones that are available at Jumia (Kenya’s trusted Ecommerce site).
#9 BlackBerry Passport
BlackBerry’s newest Smartphone is the square-shaped BlackBerry Passport. It’s fat and wide compared to all other Smartphone’s, a design BlackBerry hopes will help it stand out. It also has a physical keyboard, a rare thing these days.
Price: Ksh69, 990
#8 Nokia Lumia 830
The Nokia Lumia 830 is one of the newest phones from Microsoft. It runs the Windows Phone 8 operating system and has a sharp 5-inch screen.
Price: Ksh 44,999
#7 HTC One M8 For Windows
The HTC One M8 For Windows is the best phone you can buy running the Windows Phone operating system. It has a gorgeous metal body and the new version of Windows Phone, 8.1, which includes the excellent digital assistant Cortana.
Price: Ksh 49,500
#6 iPhone 5S
Apple’s iPhone 5S may be over a year old, but it’s still a really good phone, especially if you don’t want a bigger screen.
Price: Ksh 58,999
#5 LG G3
LG’s current flagship, the G3, has one of the sharpest displays ever put on a smartphone. It’s also massive thanks to its 5.5-inch display. That makes the G3 more like a phablet than a standard Smartphone.
It’s a good Android phone, but LG put the power and volume keys on the back of the device, which is pretty awkward.
Price: 46,999
#4 Sony Xperia Z3
Sony’s flagship Z3 phone is one of the best Android phones to come out this year. It has a sharp 5.2-inch screen, incredible camera, and is resistant to water.
Price: Ksh 62,999
#3 HTC One (M8)
HTC’s flagship phone, the HTC One (M8), is the best Android phone you can buy.
Like the original, the new HTC One, which is also called the M8, has a gorgeous design and high-quality metal construction. It also has an extra rear camera that acts as a depth sensor so you can edit photos later and change the focus.
Price: Ksh49, 500
#2 iPhone 6 Plus
If you want a phablet, the iPhone 6 Plus is the best phone you can buy. Unlike other phablets that can be thick, chunky, and plasticky, the iPhone 6 Plus is thin, gorgeous, and made of metal. It doesn’t feel like you’re lugging around a giant phone.
Price: Ksh 91,500
#1 iPhone 6
The iPhone 6 is the best smartphone. Unless you really like using Android or Windows Phones, the iPhone 6 should be your first choice.
