Samsung is rolling out its One UI 8.5 update to a wider range of Galaxy devices, including many budget-friendly phones and tablets.

• The update is now available for devices such as the Galaxy A07 5G and Galaxy A17, previously not expected to receive it so soon.
• Samsung is demonstrating a commitment to its budget segment by prioritizing this broad rollout.
• While core features and visual overhauls are included, some advanced AI features may remain exclusive to flagship models due to hardware limitations.

New leaks reveal the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A27 is set for an imminent launch in Kenya, boasting significant upgrades over its predecessor.

• The device is expected to feature a modern punch-hole camera design and a more powerful Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset, replacing the Exynos.
• Key specs include a 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, up to 8GB RAM, 256GB storage, and a 5,000mAh battery.
• Samsung is reportedly removing microSD card support, a departure for its mid-range lineup.

DStv subscribers in Kenya are set to receive complimentary upgrades to higher-tier bouquets throughout June 2026 as part of a new promotion.

• Eligible subscribers will be automatically upgraded to the next higher-tier bouquet at no extra cost during the promotional period.
• Canal+, the new owner of MultiChoice, is implementing this strategy to attract and retain customers.
• The promotion excludes Premium and Lite tier subscribers, but includes active, new, and rejoining customers who pay their current subscription fees.
