The Galaxy A80 boasts a 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED screen, making it an ideal device for immersive gaming and video streaming experiences.

Armed with our expertise, global capabilities and rich consumer insights, Samsung is uniquely positioned to provide innovations for everyone,” said Charles Kimari, the head of Mobile Communications Division, Samsung Electronics East Africa.

The Galaxy A80 will retail at Kes.64,999/-, making it an affordable option for digital natives who want to fully engage in the Era of Live.
