Samsung Electronics has introduced a high-end device, the Galaxy Note 3 Neo, into the Kenyan market.

The Galaxy Note 3 Neo retails at KES 51,999 across all Samsung Brandshops and authorized dealer shops. The device comes with an offer of 500 Free Airtime and 1.5 GB free data from Safaricom.

This device aims to satisfy the growing demand for dual-sim phones amongst Kenyan consumers. With a 1.6 GHz quad-core processor and 2GB RAM, the Galaxy Note 3 Neo smoothly runs multiple applications simultaneously.

The gadget provides 16GB internal storage, a 64GB MicroSD slot, and a durable 3,100mAh battery. Additionally, it is equipped with a dual camera (8MP rear+ 2MP front).

This addition to our Note Series is our tactic to provide consumers with convenience while still offering premium features.”
