Kenyans are known for one thing: the hustle. From the fast-paced tech hubs of Nairobi to the vibrant stalls in the city centre and the growing digital enterprises in Kisumu, a smartphone in this part of the world is not just a gadget — it’s a shopfront, a classroom, and a bank all rolled into one.
As we move further into 2026, a new force is making that hustle even smoother: Galaxy AI. Designed to turn everyday challenges into effortless victories, it’s more than just technology — it’s your everyday business partner.
Galaxy AI isn’t just about “smart” features; it’s about intuitive tools that understand local realities. Whether you’re a student balancing a side gig, a grocery vendor expanding her reach through social media, or a corporate professional navigating the busy CBD, these tools are built to work as hard as you do.
Smarter Searching, Faster Sourcing
In Kenya, we’re masters of “window shopping” and hunting for the best deals. Imagine scrolling through Instagram and spotting a unique fabric or a new piece of kitchen equipment for your business. With Circle to Search with Google, you no longer need to type descriptions into a search bar. Simply long-press the home button and circle the item on your screen to instantly find where to source it.
It’s like having a personal sourcing agent in your pocket.
Your Digital Secretary on Demand
For those managing a chama, running a small business, or attending classes, paperwork and note-taking can be overwhelming.
Samsung’s Note Assist and Transcript Assist act as your digital secretary. Record a meeting with a supplier or a lecture at school, and the AI will transcribe it, separate speakers, and summarise the key points.
Less manual record-keeping. More time focused on growth.
Breaking Language Barriers in Business
Kenya is a gateway to global trade, with many entrepreneurs coordinating with international partners. Language should never stand in the way of a good deal.
Live Translate provides real-time voice and text translation during phone calls. You speak in your preferred language while your supplier hears theirs. International business suddenly feels as local as calling your neighbour.
Sound Professional, Every Time
On the digital front, Chat Assist helps you master the professional tone. Whether you’re sending a formal proposal via email or crafting a persuasive sales pitch on WhatsApp, Galaxy AI suggests the perfect tone.
It ensures you sound polished, confident, and ready for business — helping bridge the gap between a small startup and a global brand.
Picture-Perfect Memories
We live in one of the most beautiful countries on Earth — and Kenyans love to share that beauty. Whether it’s a graduation, a traditional wedding, or a weekend trip to the Maasai Mara, your photos should be flawless.
With Photo Assist, your memories become gallery-ready. If someone accidentally walks into the background of your perfect shot, Generative Edit lets you remove them with a tap, while the AI intelligently fills in the space.
Studio-Quality Content Anywhere
For rising TikTok and YouTube creators, Audio Eraser is a game-changer. It filters out distracting background noise — traffic, wind, or busy street sounds — so your voice remains clear and professional.
Now, every creator can achieve studio-grade production, no matter the environment.
Power That Keeps Up with You
In Kenya, battery life is everything — especially during a long commute on the superhighway or when you’re away from a charger during a power outage.
Galaxy AI learns your usage patterns and prioritises power for the apps you rely on most, like M-PESA or Maps.
And because much of the processing happens on-device, your phone runs faster and your data stays secure. You don’t always need to spend your precious bundles to access AI features like camera optimisation or battery management.
This privacy-first approach ensures your personal information stays exactly where it belongs — with you.
The Future of the Kenyan Hustle
The future of the Kenyan hustle is here — and it’s more intelligent than ever.
