Mascom International stocks the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra at KSh 115,000, a used unit with 256GB of storage, 12GB of RAM, a 6.9-inch QHD privacy display and a 200MP main camera. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra launched in early 2026 and runs the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy chip. It carries a built-in S Pen, a 5000mAh battery and a titanium frame rated IP68. Each phone is a carefully maintained international import in clean used condition. See it in person at our shop on the first floor of Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for executives, bankers, lawyers and NGO field staff across Kenya, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra suits people who handle private information in public places. The privacy display narrows the viewing angle, so the person beside you on a matatu or in a banking hall queue cannot read your screen. That matters when you open M-Pesa statements, client files or board papers on the move. Accountants in Upper Hill annotate reports with the S Pen. Content creators film 8K clips with the 200MP camera. Most phones force a stick-on privacy film that dims the screen; this one builds the feature in and lets you switch it off.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops price used top-tier phones close to new, Mascom International sells the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra at KSh 14,000 below our sealed unit. Every phone is checked before sale and carries a 6-month warranty. Customers across Nairobi tell us the privacy screen and faster charging are what pushed them past last year's model. At Mascom International, we're seeing executives choose the used Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra to get this year's hardware at a lower price. Visit our Kimathi Street shop to try the privacy display, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery.
Common Questions About the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra
How much is the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra 256GB in Kenya?
A used Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra 256GB with 12GB RAM costs KSh 115,000 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. The price covers a tested international import with its S Pen, a 6-month Mascom International warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. No charger comes in the box, so add a 60W-capable USB-C charger for the fastest speeds. The used Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra 256GB costs KSh 99,000 here, which is KSh 16,000 less.
Is this Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra used or refurbished, and what is the difference?
This Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is used: an original handset lightly used abroad, then imported and checked by Mascom International. A refurbished phone has been opened and repaired by the manufacturer or a certified workshop, often with replaced parts, before resale. Ours has not been through that repair process. Battery health, small cosmetic marks and the presence of the original box differ between units, so request photos and the battery reading of your exact phone on WhatsApp before ordering.
Should I buy the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra used or brand new in Kenya?
Buy the used Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra at KSh 115,000 to save KSh 14,000, or the brand-new sealed unit at KSh 129,000 for a longer warranty. Both are sold by Mascom International with the same 256GB storage, 12GB RAM, chip and cameras. The sealed phone carries a 24-month warranty and a full-health battery, while the used phone carries 6 months of cover. Choose new if you keep phones for many years. Choose used if you want this year's hardware for less.
How is the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra different from the Galaxy S25 Ultra?
The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra adds a built-in privacy display, faster wired and wireless charging and a newer chip compared with the used Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Wired charging rises to 60W, and wireless charging moves to 25W magnetic Qi 2.2, so it snaps onto magnetic pads without a special case. The main camera has a brighter f/1.4 aperture for darker rooms. The S25 Ultra costs KSh 16,000 less at Mascom International and still gets years of updates, so pick it if those extras matter little.
Does the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra suit Kenyan networks, dust and heat?
Yes, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra supports 4G and 5G and works on Safaricom, Airtel Kenya and Telkom, including Safaricom 5G where it is available. Its IP68 rating protects against dust on murram roads and rain during the long rains. Samsung states the phone reaches 75% charge in 30 minutes on 60W wired charging, which helps when KPLC cuts power at short notice. Field engineers working in Turkana heat or Mombasa humidity can rely on the sealed titanium body.
How does the privacy display on the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra work?
The privacy display on the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra limits how far to the side the screen can be read, so people next to you see a darkened panel. You view it normally when looking straight on. It is built into the screen itself, so there is no film to peel or replace. You can switch it on for banking, email or client documents and turn it off when sharing photos. Journalists and lawyers tell us it ends the habit of tilting the phone away on public transport.
Is the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra good for photography and video creators?
Yes, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra has a 200MP main camera at f/1.4, a 50MP ultrawide, a 10MP 3x telephoto and a 50MP 5x periscope telephoto. Video reaches 8K at 30fps, and the 12MP front camera records 4K at 60fps. The wider aperture on the main lens lets in more light, which helps in dim restaurants and evening events. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the 5x lens is ideal for capturing speakers at conferences in Nairobi hotels from far back.
Who should buy the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and who should skip it?
Buy the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra if you handle sensitive information in public, use a stylus daily and want the longest update window at a used price. Skip it if you want a light, compact phone; the used Samsung Galaxy S26 at KSh 88,000 is smaller and costs KSh 27,000 less. Skip it too if you mainly read and edit on a large screen, because the used Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 512GB at KSh 145,000 opens into a tablet-sized display.

Package Contents
The used Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra arrives as the handset with its S Pen stored in the frame, tested and ready for your SIM. Because units are imported one at a time, the original box, USB-C cable and paperwork are not included with every phone; ask on WhatsApp what accompanies your unit. Samsung ships this model without a charger, so a compatible fast USB-C charger is sold separately at Mascom International, along with magnetic wireless pads and cases.

Mascom International offers this Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra as a carefully maintained international import, never deployed locally in Kenya, with a 6-month warranty covering hardware functionality. Claims for any hardware fault during those six months are handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk; bring the phone and receipt.
