“Having the EZ 1 phone has been a game-changer, ensuring that I am in touch with family and friends. The EasyBuy finance option made it super affordable. I highly recommend that my friends and family check it out.” Benard Langat, EZ 1 Owner, Bomet.

A smartphone that works as hard as you do

EZ 1 is engineered to deliver exceptionally smooth performance, helping users do more every day, from chatting on WhatsApp and watching videos to running a small business online and using mobile money. Core specifications include:

• 4 GB RAM + 4 GB VRAM for smooth scrolling, faster app switching and lag-free use, even when multitasking
• 128 GB storage (expandable to 256 GB) so users can keep apps, photos, videos and documents without constantly deleting
• Large 6.56″ HD+ display for crisp, vibrant visuals — easier reading, browsing and viewing, even outdoors
• 13 MP rear camera + 8 MP front camera with low-light mode for clear photos and video calls, including in dim light — ideal for social content and biashara listings

Power that lasts, security you can trust

Battery life is one of the biggest frustrations for smartphone users in Kenya. EZ 1 is built to last through long days at work or on the move.

• 5000 mAh battery and 12+ hours of video or up to 60 hours of regular use, reducing the need for frequent charging
• Facial recognition and fingerprint unlock help keep the device secure, including access to apps and personal information
• Pre-installed screen protector helps protect the phone from day one

EZ 1 also includes a data bundle and warranty, giving customers additional value and peace of mind.

Affordable, transparent and backed by protection

EZ 1 is available from KES 60 per day, making smartphone ownership accessible to first-time buyers and budget-conscious customers who cannot afford to pay upfront.

“EZ 1 reflects everything we’ve learned serving Kenyan customers over the years,” said Victor Agandi, Vice President, EasyBuy Direct Sales, East and Southern Africa. “People want a smartphone that works, payments they can manage, and a company they can trust. That’s exactly what EZ 1 delivers.”

From powering homes to powering connections

Sun King first became known in Kenya for making solar power affordable through small daily payments. Today, one in five Kenyans has access to Sun King solar. EZ 1 builds on that same approach, combining power and connectivity to help customers participate in today’s digital economy.

With access to a smartphone, customers can communicate with family, grow their income, access education and services, and take pride in owning a best-in-class smartphone. Sun King Launches EZ 1 Smartphone in Kenya for Just KES 60 a Day.
