SAMSUNG Zambia has launched the Galaxy S7 phone on the market.

The Galaxy S7 which is equipped with waterproof technology that guards it against water has a 30 megapixel camera.

Samsung Galaxy S7 further has a 5G network connection that boosts subscribers’ browsing experience.

Speaking at the launch of the phone Youth, Sport and Child Development Minister Vincent Mwale said Government was doing all it could to ensure that citizens were exposed to high-tech platforms through partnerships with the private sector.

Mr Mwale said at the weekend that Samsung Zambia was contributing to the growth of the economy by developing local distributors who were bringing in Samsung products, thus improving the tax revenue.

He said Samsung Zambia was further directly and indirectly creating employment for the Zambian people through distributors who were on record for having created over 800 jobs.

“This in turn gives additional revenue to the Government through income tax. Today we launch Samsung S7 edge; I urge you to move with technology and plan to buy a set. Let us be among the best as a country in terms of technology, so that we are not left behind,” Mr Mwale said.

Mr Mwale said the forgoing acts reaffirm Governments’ desire and conviction that Zambia was an important market for Samsung.

“As Government we recognise Sumsung as a partner in national development,” he said.

Brand ambassador, Kalombo Mwansa said Samsung brand places great importance on customers’ needs using technology to create solutions that make a lasting difference in people’s lives.
