Description
Overall, this is the entry storage tier of Samsung’s newest Ultra flagship. For example, it combines the fastest chipset (Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5) with the toughest build (IP68, Gorilla Glass Armor) Samsung currently sells. As a result, it suits buyers who don’t need the 512GB or 1TB step-ups. At Ksh 118,999, it undercuts the outgoing S24 Ultra’s original launch price. In addition, it offers a newer processor, a larger 6.9-inch display, and 60W charging — up from the S24 Ultra’s 45W. Meanwhile, if 256GB isn’t enough, the 12GB/512GB and 16GB/1TB versions are also available at Avechi, in Titanium Black, with a 1-year warranty.
