Samsung is now marketing its Galaxy A37 5G and Galaxy A57 5G phones in Kenya as business tools for entrepreneurs and content creators, highlighting their extended software support.

• Both phones offer six years of Android upgrades and six years of security patches, a significant advantage for users in Kenya who tend to keep devices longer.
• Samsung is positioning these mid-range devices as a viable alternative to more expensive flagships, with starting official prices of KES 49,000 for the A37 5G and KES 60,900 for the A57 5G.
• Key features for business users include AI tools like "Circle to Search" and "Object Eraser," alongside bright displays readable in sunlight and long battery life, though hardware upgrades are incremental compared to previous models.

TECNO has unveiled enhanced capabilities for its mobile AI agent, EllaClaw, allowing it to manage phone functions and perform tasks within other applications. This advancement is presented as the next phase of their "Practical AI" initiative for emerging markets, including Kenya.

• EllaClaw's new abilities include device upkeep, such as clearing memory and monitoring battery usage, and GUI comprehension to interact with third-party apps like shopping and transport services.
• The AI agent is built upon the OpenClaw framework and is being developed for TECNO's budget and mid-range phones, unlike flagship offerings from competitors.
• TECNO has not provided a release date or confirmed pricing, and EllaClaw is currently in a closed beta, making it unavailable for public use.

The Samsung Galaxy A27 5G is now available for purchase in Kenya from retailer Kype IT Solutions, weeks before its official local announcement by Samsung Mobile Kenya.

• The Galaxy A27 5G (8/256GB) is listed at KES 47,000, undercutting the estimated European price.
• Samsung recently launched the device globally, with sales officially starting July 3.
• At its current price, the Galaxy A27 5G is the most expensive Galaxy A2x series phone ever and may be a less compelling purchase than the Galaxy A57 offered at KES 49,000.
