Samsung launches Galaxy Note 4 in Kenya

Nairobi; Kenya: With Airtel Kenya’s announcement that it will stock the latest Apple’s Iphone 6 in Kenya, the battle for dominating the smartphone market is heating up.

Apple’s closest rival, Samsung, on Thursday launched its Galaxy Note 4 in Kenya as it plans to fight off competition. However, news that iPhone 6 and 6 plus would be available could ignite fierce fight for a slice of the Kenyan smartphone market.

“The Galaxy Note series signalled extraordinary innovation within the technology industry. Its larger screen size and iconic S Pen technology launched a new standard in smartphone culture,” said Manoj Changarampatt, Director of Internet and Mobile, Samsung East Africa. “With the introduction of the Galaxy Note series, we brought the age-old culture of the pen and notepad into the digital world.”

According to Samsung, due to its large screen, the device’s multi-window feature is able to maximise users’ experience, providing them with the key to easier multi-tasking. Users can choose how they access their applications with full, split or pop-up screens and easily change the size and positioning of apps on the screen with one intuitive swipe.

The Galaxy Note 4 also sports a camera that is able to reproduce brighter and clearer images. The device is equipped with a 16 megapixel rear-facing camera featuring a Smart Optical Image Stabilizer that counter-balances camera shake and extends exposure time in dark settings.
