    According to Emmanuel Owusu Kumi, Marketing Specialists for Samsung West Africa, the company is enjoying an average weekly sale of 3,000 handsets of the Samsung Galaxy S3.

    He attributes the high patronage of smart phones to the growth in demand for the latest technology and mobile phone trends.

    He spoke to Luv Biz Report at a Kumasi sub-launch of Samsung’s latest devises, including the Galaxy Tab II.

    Mr. Owusu Kumi says Samsung is keen to increasing its visibility and sales in Kumasi, following its success in Accra.
