A week ago, I had the pleasure of diving into the exciting world of Samsung’s latest foldable smartphones with Anthony Hutia, Head of Mobile Experience at Samsung Electronics East Africa. We discussed the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 which were launched the previous week during the Samsung Unpacked event and feature advanced AI features and also have flexible financing options for Kenyan consumers.

Samsung’s Latest Foldables.

We kicked off our discussion with an in-depth look at Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. These devices are truly game-changers, offering unique foldable form factors that enhance multitasking capabilities and increase portability. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 boasts a large screen perfect for productivity and entertainment, while the Galaxy Z Flip 6’s compact design is ideal for those seeking style and functionality in a smaller package.

Anthony explained how the integration of Galaxy AI leverages the flexible form factor of these devices to deliver a new era of communication, productivity, and creativity. Features like Note Assist and the Google Gemini app provide users with seamless and enhanced mobile experiences, making these devices stand out in the market.

Financing Options & Pre-Order Incentives.

Understanding the financial challenges many face, Samsung has partnered with financial institutions in Kenya to offer flexible financing options. This enables customers to purchase these high-end devices with ease, spreading the investment over a period of time and making advanced technology accessible to a much broader audience.

For those eager to get their hands on the new devices, Samsung introduced attractive pre-order incentives. Customers who pre-order the Galaxy Z Fold 6 receive a slim S-Pen case, while those who opt for the Galaxy Z Flip 6 get a flip suite case set. These offers add significant value, making it an opportune time to upgrade to the latest foldables from Samsung.

Samsung East Africa’s Mobile Division Performance.

Anthony shared insights into Samsung’s recent performance in the mobile division in Kenya and East Africa, particularly the success of the Galaxy S24 series. The series has seen remarkable growth, driven by advanced AI capabilities and exceptional camera performance. The seamless integration with the Samsung Galaxy ecosystem further enhances the user experience.

Samsung’s wearables, including the new Galaxy Watch7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra, which were also launched during the latest Samsung Unpacked event offer intelligent health monitoring and personalized insights, catering to the growing demand for health and fitness tracking. These too will be available for purchase in Kenya and East Africa in the coming weeks.

Future Plans & Vision.

Looking ahead, Samsung is committed to continuing its innovation in mobile technology. Anthony discussed the company’s plans to tailor future products and services to meet the unique needs of the Kenyan and East African markets. The ongoing advancements in Generative AI and a focus on sustainability mean that Samsung will continue to deliver technology that enriches lives and drives progress.
