After several days of waiting, Samsung has finally introduced one of its best performing 19100 Galaxy S2 smart phone in Kenya. Unlike Nokia which has received criticism for devaluing the African market after it unveiled low end smart phones in Kenya the same day it was introducing its latest Symbian Belle smart phones in Hong Kong, Samsung seems to have a special interest in the African market considering its timely introduction of Samsung 19100 Galaxy S2 in Kenya same month it was unveiling the product in large markets such as US.
