NI SHAMBA! SAMSUNG’S NEW FOLDING GALAXY TO COST OVER SH200,000

Samsung Electronics has unveiled the third generation Galaxy Z Fold 2 phone to the global market and will coast a whopping Sh233,000.

The launch took place virtually from the electronics manufacturer’s headquarters in Korea and is the second virtual launch that the global tech company has had in the last one month due to the Covid-19 global pandemic restrictions.

In Kenya, the virtual event was attended by tech enthusiasts who showed great anticipation for the device’s availability in the Kenyan market.

The Galaxy Z Fold 2 which is the successor to last year’s Galaxy Fold, has a full-size 6.2-inch front screen, giving users far more screen space and is the most anticipated foldable phone to hit retail shelves this year.

The main, internal display is now 7.6-inches with a 120Hz refresh rate. The internal display uses the same foldable glass that was used in the Galaxy Z Flip and has a thinner gap between the display and reengineered technology between the hinge.

A key added value for users of the Galaxy Z Fold 2 is the one-year accidental damage warranty.

This will give users peace of mind that if they accidentally break the screen or damage the device in any other way, they are covered for the repair expenses which is important for all smartphone users.

“The journey to reach the next generation of mobile is full of originality and innovation aimed at ensuring we enhance the overall user experience,” said Mr Seok Min Hong, Managing Director, Samsung Electronics East Africa.

With the Galaxy Z Fold 2, users can access faster speeds thanks to its full 5G band compatibility, while the 4,500mAh All Day Battery and fast charging means you can do more without worrying about your battery life.

Galaxy Z Fold 2 also offers Samsung DeX wireless connection for clutter free and wire free work productivity, while Ultra-Wide Band technology is integrated into the device making it quick and easy to share files, photos or videos with Nearby Share.

“We are changing the face of technology every day, this phone is the person who wants to do more, it’s for the person who is looking to integrate the phone and tablet into one device, it’s for the person who is always on the go which is why we also added the accidental damage warranty,” said Charles Kimari the Samsung East Africa Head of Integrated Mobile.

He said with the Galaxy Z Fold 2, Samsung is encouraging people to maximize their potential by doing all they can on one device.
