A week after a glitzy launch in South Africa, pre-orders are now open for Samsung’s new flagship smartphone, the Galaxy Note 4, in Kenya.

The phone manufacturer has also announced two wearable devices that are compatible with any Samsung smartphone. The Galaxy Gear S and Gear Circles smartwatches are also available on pre-order.

While making the announcement, Samsung Electronics East and Central Africa Vice President and COO Robert Ngeru said the rapid entry of the devices into the sub-Saharan region signalled the growing importance of Africa in the global market place.

“In response to the interest we have seen among our target audience, we have launched a special pre-order offer allowing interested consumers to order their devices in advance and have the exclusive opportunity to be the first few to own the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Gear S and Gear Circle in Kenya,” said Mr. Ngeru.

“Those interested can visit our Samsung brand shops and selected retailers to experience the unique feel and features of the new devices.”

The new Galaxy Note 4 blends an evolved S Pen with a superior viewing experience similar to the recently launched Galaxy Tab S, promising users an “unmatched mobile experience”, he said.

Launched in September in Berlin, the phone maker announced two variations of the Note 4 phablet: the Note 4 and Note 4 Edge. However, the Edge, will be launched in select markets.

Launched to a sceptical reception due to its huge size, the series has been a runaway success and is now in its fourth iteration.

The Galaxy Note 4 comes in Charcoal Black, Frost White, Bronze Gold, and Blossom Pink and will be available in Samsung brand shops and retail partners countrywide. 

Customers can experience the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Gear S and Gear Circle and place their pre-orders at the following locations: Junction Mall, Galleria Mall, Capital Centre Mall, Thika Road Mall, Village Market, Safaricom Shop Sarit Centre, Safaricom Shop I&M Bank House, Panna Music Brandshop in Eldoret and Shankar Brandshop in Nyali, Mombasa.
