Samsung Electronics is making waves in Nigeria’s tech scene with a groundbreaking update that brings Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba language support to selected Samsung Galaxy devices. The move is part of the company’s mission to make technology more inclusive, accessible, and culturally relevant.
The new language options are now officially available on the Galaxy S25, A56, A36, and A26 models—giving users across Nigeria the ability to navigate their smartphones in the language closest to home.
“At Samsung, we understand that technology is most powerful when it is accessible to all,” said Oge Maduagwu, Head of Marketing, Samsung Electronics West Africa.
“By incorporating our local Nigerian languages, we are making our devices more intuitive and relatable, ensuring that millions of Nigerians can interact with their smartphones in the language they love and understand best.”
A Celebration of Culture and Innovation
To mark the launch, Samsung hosted a vibrant, culture-themed press briefing filled with traditional music, local delicacies, and guests dressed in Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa attire. The event not only showcased the new features but also served as a celebration of Nigeria’s rich cultural heritage.
This update is more than just a language pack, it’s a strong step toward bridging the digital divide and giving users a sense of ownership and ease with their devices. It reflects Samsung’s growing focus on localising technology for African users.
More to Come
Samsung also revealed plans to expand local language support to more Galaxy devices in the near future, reinforcing its vision for a truly inclusive digital ecosystem.
With this rollout, Samsung is setting a new standard for tech brands operating in Africa: speak the people’s language, and technology becomes more than a tool—it becomes a companion.
