Hi Guys!

Welcome to the Big 5 Daily!

Let’s not keep you waiting!

Enjoy!

Big news! The African smartphone market recorded a growth of 55.8 million units shipment in the third quarter of 2019 (Q3). The International Data Corporation’s (IDC) Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker report revealed this.

Next on the Big 5, Airtel and Telkom’s merger has finally been approved by the Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK). Airtel-Telkom will be the new name of the Telcos.

Guess what? Cameroonian based Pay-As-You-Go solar energy company upOwa, has secured $2.7 Million funding. The startup will leverage the funds to grow and expand across Cameroon.

Also, Google has rolled out Chrome 79. Users will be alerted when their password has been stolen based on the new update. The platform also boosted its phishing protection with a real-time option and also boosted its multiple profiles support.

Finally, YouTube has revealed plans to bar hate speeches and threats on its platform. This move is on its recently updated policy. The new policy will suspend accounts that harass others. It also plans to remove contents and comments that violate its policies.

Thanks for joining!
