HMD Crest 5G

Surprising Capabilities for such a Budget Handset
Under the hood, the Unisoc T760 chipset (6nm) powers through daily tasks with ease. Paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage, it’s perfect for multitasking, gaming, and content creation. Plus, it runs Android 14 with zero bloatware, giving you a clean, fast experience.

Battery life is solid. The 5000mAh battery lasts all day, and 33W fast charging gets you back to 100% in under an hour. Even better, the battery is user-replaceable, making the Crest ideal for long-term use.

But what truly sets the HMD Crest apart is its DIY repairability. You can replace the screen, back cover, battery, and charging port yourself. That’s a game-changer for Kenyan users who value sustainability and cost-saving repairs.

It’s also IP52-rated, meaning it resists dust and light splashes. Add in OZO audio, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and 5G support, and you’ve got a phone that’s built for today—and tomorrow.
