Samsung has announced that its Galaxy Flip and Fold 5 are officially available for sale in Kenya at 193,000 Shillings and 325,000 Shillings respectively after their pre-orders surpassed targets by over 25% cementing Samsung’s position as the market leader in the Foldable smartphone category.
The successful pre-order has been supported by the strategic partnership with device financing partner Absa Kenya who allowed Absa Credit Card customers to finance their devices at over three, six, nine or twelve month periods. An option to Trade-in their devices with Badili Africa also contributed highly to the success of the pre-order period.
‘The Fold has always been the driver for the Foldable smartphone category but this year we have seen a shift in purchase trends, with a higher number of purchases for the Flip. We can attribute this to the acquisition steps we have taken like partnership with Badili Africa who offer trade in service and our new partnership with Absa Kenya who offer device financing payment methods which will allow our customers to acquire these devices,” said Mr Charles Kimari, Director of Mobile Experience Samsung Electronics East Africa.
