Absa credit card holders can now get ready to acquire the newly launched Samsung Galaxy foldables, namely the Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 on credit. This is thanks to the already-existing partnership between the bank and the tech company, allowing Kenyans to purchase Samsung Galaxy devices via a credit purchasing plan.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip were launched on July 10th in Kenya and are now available for pre-order at KES 264,000 and KES 148,000 respectively at select Samsung Experience stores.
However, one can see that the prices for these devices, as we’ve seen with their predecessors are pretty high. So, Samsung now has a device financing option for anyone who may desire to purchase the phone on credit. Both Samsung devices are now available for this plan with a monthly instalment as low as KES 25,997 for anyone who holds an Absa credit card. All you have to do is present your credit card at the Samsung store and get registered for the purchase plan.
It would be important to note that pre-order is currently open for all customers at the aforementioned prices with free accessories guaranteed. This includes the Flipsuit cover for the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and an S Pen cover for the Galaxy Z Fold 6. The pre-order offers are valid until 31st July 2024.
First Impressions
Samsung says that both devices are the lightest and slimmest foldable in the Galaxy Z series yet. While we didn’t get alot of spec bumps on the Galaxy Fold, the device seemed to focus alot more on the new tech used to make the display to reduce the creasing. And from first-time use, you can barely notice the creasing at all.
The most notable upgrade was the processor as the Z Fold 6 now packs the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 designed to give it the latest kind of high-level performance. With the chipset’s upgraded GPU, the device now features ray-tracing which is a feature designed to make gaming more immersive and realistic.
The device also comes with a new hinge structure designed to give the phone a flatter profile and reduce the curvature around the corners. This is meant to make the Z Fold 6 more dust-tight.
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 also packs the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with an IP48 rating for dust and water resistance. The most notable upgrade for this device is the 50MP camera that replaces the 12MP on the Z Flip 5. It also sees several AI-powered features like smart replies that are customized for the phone’s cover screen.
