Former phone repair technician whose plain-spoken reviews of budget phones became West Africa's most trusted buying guide.
Kwame Mensah spent six years repairing phones in a two-metre stall in Accra’s Circle market before he filmed his first review: a budget phone he had opened up forty times and could describe from the inside. Three years on, his channel is the reference for buyers across Ghana and Nigeria, and manufacturers send him units before launch. He still opens every phone before he reviews it.
He is not known for reviewing phones so much as for opening them. Four thousand repairs taught him which devices are built and which are merely assembled, and his audience buys on that distinction.
