Samsung Electronics is set to launch a new flagship smartphone in the Kenyan market targeting the high-end and mid-range market segment, according to device leaks we cannot disclose right now.
Remember that in February, Samsung launched its highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S24 series in Kenya, bringing the power of Galaxy AI to local consumers. Following a successful global launch and pre-order period, Samsung is excited to offer the new devices across the country.
The Galaxy S24 series saw Samsung introduce a new era of Artificial Intelligence (AI) phones with the Galaxy S24 series, aiming to go beyond the traditional smartphone experience. The firm announced that its Galaxy AI features will be available on previous models through software updates, including the Galaxy S23 series, S23 FE, Z Fold5, Z Flip5, and Tab S9 series.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 is being sold at Safaricom and Samsung stores and other participating stores nationwide. The Galaxy S24 Ultra is offered in Titanium Gray, Black, Violet, and Titanium Yellow colors. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 come in Onyx Black, Marble Gray, Cobalt Violet, and Amber Yellow options.
Prices start from Sh 174,999 for the Galaxy S24 and go up to Sh 276,999 for the top-of-the-line Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Samsung has also been big on Galaxy AI which made its debut alongside the Galaxy S24 series. Samsung has announced the availability of Galaxy AI features on an extended lineup of Galaxy devices, including the Galaxy S22 & S23 Series, Z Fold 4 & Z Fold 5, Z Flip 4 & Z Flip 5, and Tab S9 & S8 Series.
Galaxy AI was rollouted to selected smartphones and tablets through the One UI 6.1 update to the Galaxy S23 series, the Galaxy S23 FE, the Galaxy Z Fold 5, the Galaxy Z Flip 5, and the Galaxy Tab S9 series.
Galaxy AI features include real-time text and call translations, intelligent summarization of texts, notes, and web content, transcription and summarization of voice recordings, writing assistance in messaging and other communication apps, advanced object manipulation in photos, and instant Google searches using simple gestures. Galaxy AI can also generate personalized wallpapers and convert standard videos into slow-motion clips.
Antony Hutia, Head of Mobile Division Samsung Electronics East Africa said,“Our aim with Galaxy AI isn’t just to lead a new age of mobile AI; it’s about empowering users worldwide, including those in Kenya, by making AI more accessible.This marks just the inception of Galaxy AI. Our vision continues to extend, reaching over 100 million Galaxy users globally by 2024, as we persistently innovate to unlock the boundless potential of mobile AI.”
Our sources at Samsung claim the firm is set to launch two groundbreaking smartphones in the Kenyan market targeting the high-end customers who are after its Galaxy AI features, durability and productivity. The high-quality smartphones have a state-of-the at camera system, great memory and RAM and will be powered by the firm’s latest OS and are targeted at premium users.
Either the firm is launching a new lineup of its flip and fold series or its an AI powered series that no one has ever used. At the time we will wait to do an update as we gather more information from the firm but remember Samsung has been king in the foldable market and we expect the firm to go big this time and launch great foldable smartphones for the Kenyan user.
