Processor
A good processor is one that is capable of faster open times for apps and quick photo editing. Don’t pay much attention to cores or clock speed. These are just technical jargons which are meant to confuse you.
RAM
When it comes to RAM, try as much as you can to avoid smartphones with just 1GB of system memory. 2GB is sufficient and also a standard for smartphones below Ksh 10K.
Fast Charging
No one likes to wait in line. This is a good feature to look out for especially with Infinix phones.
