5 features I hope for in the next generation smartkika device..

By
Let's face it, SmartKika devices are so popular because of their price and probably their durability. Even though they don't have bells and whistles of flagship or mid-tier devices they work just fine for average users. Here are 5 features I wish Vodacom could include in their next generation device.

1. Latest Android

Sure Vodacom might pull a stunt like we give the latest Android version while they provide Lollipop out of the box, but we for sure know there is nothing latest with that. Marketing stunts aside, Google wants more people to taste their latest sweets, so they developed Android Go: An OS that targets low entry devices with low RAM and not a ton of storage. Smartkika fits right into this and it'll be cool to see Oreo on such a cheap device. Please do it Vodacom, please!

2. A Slightly Larger Screen, 5"

Hoping for 6" or more is not reasonable since that could bump up the price higher. Maybe removing the capacitive keys can help them get to 5' and still keep the price low. Shrinking the bezels a little bit can help get to at least 4.5" keeping the same footprint and that would be awesome.

3. A Better Camera

 I'm not pleading for 5 MP  selfie camera or better, the reason being; that can make the price jump so fast. I guess putting that camera of the rear won't be a big deal. Maybe snap a 2MP selfie cam. There is nothing better about 5 MP but that will be a nice offering at this price range.

4. A Better  RAM, 1GB At Least

Current SmartKika devices perform decently well only with 415 MB of RAM but that comes right in your face when you start using heavy apps like Facebook, Instagram or even worse, Twitter. If getting RAM to 1GB won't increase the price drastically, it will be a nice improvement.

5. More Storage Options: 

These devices ship with 4GB of Internal storage but half of that is used by the OS alone, you only have less than 2GB at your realm. That amount of storage is not enough for apps alone( all depends on the user). You can install Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Pinterest, then Twitter won't be installed unless you uninstall other apps. At that moment you haven't transferred your media to the phone. Luckily there is an SD Card slot for expansion so your files can reside there. Vodacom, 8 GB would be great.

App development in Lesotho is not the talk of the town, even though there might be good reason to not become developers, opportunities surpass the counterfeit reasoning. A change is made today, by me and you, not by strangers we don't even know. If you want to, let's do it, not tomorrow but now. I am not an expert with developing applications, and more specifically, Android applications. But developing is like art, the learning is a bit sketchy but once you've gathered the knowledge and tools, the whole process become fun and rewarding.

Even though smartphones are walking their way up the ladder, PCs are a piece of tech that don't seem to die anyway. Editing photos, videos, music and doing more intensive tasks always find their way to bring us back to PCs. So, PCs still have their place in our life. Then following are Windows apps that will change the way you browse through your computer. 1. Films & TV Films & TV is a basic video app from Microsoft. With this you'll be able to create a nice looking collection by adding folders to an app, also those folders can be removed if need be. Picture-in-picture improves more on multitasking. Android Oreo, Apple TV are a few of those who brought picture-in-picture to consumers and Microsoft has officially caught up. This feature is useful to people who like to simultaneously watch videos while doing something different. It’s only for those on Windows 10 to try it out though, ouch! 2.
