Samsung Smart TVs in Kenya – Complete Guide
When it comes to Smart TVs in Kenya, Samsung is a household name known for its premium quality and cutting edge features.
Over the years, Samsung has maintained its position as a global market leader in the consumer electronics market.
This is despite facing stiff competition from the likes of Sony, LG and TCL.
The company’s success has largely been down to innovation, good management and creative marketing.
Similar to many tech companies, Samsung had a humble beginning.
Samsung Electronics traces its origins all the way back to 1969 when it was established as an industrial part of the Samsung Group in South Korea.
In its early years, the company struggled with the image of being a budget brand. To get rid of this image and to increase market share, the management implemented a new strategy.
This new strategy involved designing and manufacturing components, as well as investing in new technologies for other companies.
By controlling the manufacturing of components and being at the forefront of research and development, Samsung managed to gain market share and become the global leader in consumer electronics it is today.
If you’re in the market for a new TV, below are the best Samsung TVs available for purchase in Kenya.
