Samsung’s Consumer Electronics Division Manager, in their official release this morning said, “We are pleased to introduce QLED 8K TVs to consumers in Kenya. 8K is a much more superior type of QLED TV. True 8K resolution will plunge our customers into the detail of every scene with 4 times the resolution of 4K. At Samsung, we are committed to continuous innovation in order to deliver unparalleled at-home viewing experience.”

Samsung says the AI tech built into their TVs can instantly upscale any 4K or lower resolution content, therefore consumers need not worry that there is not enough 8K content currently available.

The 2019 range of TVs support iTunes Movies and TV Shows, and have in-built Apple Airplay 2 support, and will work seamlessly with Samsung’s Smart TV Services to create a consistent experience. Samsung says support on 2018 TVs will be made available via firmware update.
