Kenyans are known for one thing; the hustle. From the fast-paced tech hubs of Nairobi to the vibrant stalls of the city center and the growing digital enterprises in Kisumu, In this part of the world, a smartphone is not just a gadget; it’s a shopfront, a classroom, and a bank all rolled into one. As we move further into 2026, a new force is making that hustle even smoother; The Galaxy AI. It’s designed to turn your everyday challenges into effortless victories.
Galaxy AI is not just about “smart” features; it’s about intuitive technology that understands the local context. Whether you are a student balancing a side gig, a grocery vendor expanding her reach through social media, or a corporate professional navigating the busy central business district, these tools are built to work as hard as you do.
In Kenya, we are masters of “window shopping” and finding the best deals. Imagine you are scrolling through Instagram and spot a unique fabric or a new piece of kitchen equipment you want for your business. With Circle to Search with Google, you no longer need to describe it in a search bar. Simply long-press the home button and circle the item on your screen to find exactly where to source it. It’s like having a personal sourcing agent in your pocket.
For those managing a micro-saving group or running a small business, paperwork can be a headache. Samsung’s Note Assist and Transcript Assist act as your digital secretary. If you’re in a meeting with a supplier or at a lecture, you can record the conversation and let the AI transcribe it, separate the speakers, and even summarise the key points. This means less time spent on manual records and more time focusing on growth.
Kenya is viewed as a gateway to global trade, with many of our entrepreneurs coordinating with partners internationally. Language should never be a barrier to a good deal. Live Translate provides real-time voice and text translations during phone calls. You can speak in your comfortable tongue while the supplier hears their own, making international business feel as local as a call to your neighbour.
On the digital front, Chat Assist helps you master the pro vibe. Whether you’re sending a formal proposal via email or a persuasive sales pitch on WhatsApp, the AI suggests the perfect tone. It ensures you sound polished, professional, and ready for business, helping you bridge the gap between a small startup and a global brand.
We live in one of the most beautiful countries on Earth, and Kenyans love to share that beauty. Whether it’s a graduation, a traditional wedding or a weekend trip to the conservancy like Maasai Mara, your photos should be flawless. The Galaxy’s Photo Assist ensures your memories are gallery-ready. If a stranger accidentally walks into the background of your perfect shot at an event, Generative Edit allows you to tap the person and remove them, while the AI intelligently fills in the gap.
For the rising stars on TikTok and YouTube, Audio Eraser is a lifesaver. It can filter out the distracting noises of cars or the wind noise of a busy street from your videos, ensuring your voice is the only thing your audience hears. This brings professional-grade production to every creator, regardless of their environment.
We understand that in Kenya, battery life is everything, especially during a long commute on the superhighway or when you’re away from a charger during a power hike. Galaxy AI learns your usage patterns to priorities power for the apps you use most, like M-PESA or Maps.
Furthermore, because much of this processing happens “on-device,” your phone is faster and your data is more secure. You don’t always need to spend your precious bundles to use AI features like camera optimisations or battery saving. This privacy-first approach ensures that your personal information stays exactly where it belongs, with you.
