Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Google Pixel 11 256GB with 12GB RAM is now available at Mascom International for KSh 117,000, brand new and sealed at our Nairobi CBD store. Google announced this model on 12 August 2026 and put it on sale eight days later, so what you are buying is a two-week-old release rather than last season's leftover stock. The Google Pixel 11 pairs a 6.3-inch Actua OLED screen with the Tensor G6 chip, a 4,985 mAh battery, and a triple rear camera led by a 48 MP main sensor. Collect it in person at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for content creators, photographers, and software developers across Kenya who want computational photography without carrying a second camera body. The Google Pixel 11 answers a specific complaint we hear weekly at the counter: phones that shoot beautifully at midday and collapse after dark. Night Sight, the 5x telephoto lens, and Super Zoom up to 30x cover a dim Westlands restaurant, a school prize-giving from the back row, and a Diani sunset with the same hardware. Banking professionals working between Upper Hill and Riverside Drive get seven years of security patches, which keeps the Google Pixel 11 supported far past the two-year cycle most handsets follow.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International publishes the Tensor G6 core layout, the exact 4,985 mAh cell rating, and the real box contents before you pay a shilling. Customers across Nairobi report that camera output is the single reason they move over from other brands. At Mascom International, we're seeing steady demand from Kenyan wedding and event photographers upgrading from older Pixel bodies, and from developers who want Android 17 on day one. Test the Google Pixel 11 in our Kimathi Street store, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in the country.
Common Questions About the Google Pixel 11
Is the Google Pixel 11 worth KSh 117,000 in Kenya's market?
Yes, if camera output and long software support matter more to you than raw benchmark bragging rights. KSh 117,000 buys a 48 MP main sensor on a 1/1.56-inch chip, a 5x optical telephoto lens, 256GB of UFS 4 storage, and seven years of Android and security updates. Spread across those seven years, the phone costs roughly KSh 46 per supported day. Most rivals at this price stop patching after four to six years, leaving you exposed afterwards.
Does the Google Pixel 11 support Safaricom 5G?
Yes. The international Google Pixel 11 covers 5G bands n1, n3, n5, n7, n8, n28, n38, n40, n41, n77, n78, and n79. Safaricom's Kenyan 5G network runs mainly on n78 at 3.5 GHz, and Airtel Kenya 5G is covered too. Where 5G has not reached yet, the handset falls back across roughly 30 international LTE bands, so Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, and smaller towns stay fast. No band unlocking or carrier tinkering is required.
How long does the Google Pixel 11 battery actually last?
Google rates it beyond 30 hours of typical use from the 4,985 mAh cell, and the European energy label records 48 hours and 50 minutes under standardised testing. In practice a full Nairobi workday of WhatsApp, maps, M-PESA, and camera use ends somewhere around 30 to 40 percent remaining. A 30W USB-C PPS charger refills 55 percent in about 30 minutes. Pixelsnap magnetic wireless charging reaches 25W on Qi2.2 pads, up from 15W last year.
How does the Google Pixel 11 compare to the Pixel 10?
The camera is the real jump. Pixel 10 used a 1/2.0-inch main sensor with 0.8µm pixels; the Google Pixel 11 moves to a 1/1.56-inch sensor with 1.0µm pixels, gathering about 56 percent more light per pixel in dim rooms. Tensor G5 becomes Tensor G6 with a 7-core layout topped by a 4.1 GHz ARM C1-Ultra core. Wireless charging climbs from 15W to 25W, base storage doubles to 256GB, and the body drops 7 grams to 197 grams.
What is included in the Google Pixel 11 retail box?
You get the handset and a 1-metre USB-C to USB-C cable rated at USB 2.0. Google stopped packing a wall charger with Pixel phones back in 2021, so budget for a 30W USB-C PD PPS adapter if you want that 55-percent-in-30-minutes refill speed. Mascom International stocks compatible 30W and 45W PD chargers separately at the Kimathi Street counter. The packaging itself is plastic-free. Bring your old phone along and our team helps move your data across.
Can the Google Pixel 11 run two lines for work and personal use?
Yes. International units, which are the ones Mascom International stocks, use one nano-SIM tray plus eSIM, so a Safaricom personal line and an Airtel Kenya business line stay reachable together. United States models are eSIM-only and hold eight or more profiles, which matters if you are importing privately and expect a physical tray. You choose which line carries data in settings, and you can switch that default at any time without restarting.
How long will the Google Pixel 11 keep getting Android updates?
Google commits to seven years of operating system versions, monthly security patches, and Pixel Drop feature releases. The phone launched on Android 17, so it is scheduled to reach Android 24 before support ends in 2033. Pixel Drops arrive every few months and add camera and calling features to hardware you already own. For Kenyan buyers holding phones four or five years, that update window is worth as much as the spec sheet itself.
How does the Google Pixel 11 handle Nairobi sunlight and rain?
The 6.3-inch panel hits 2,000 nits in high brightness mode and 3,000 nits at peak, which stays readable in direct noon sun on Kimathi Street or at a Naivasha shoot. An IP68 rating covers dust and immersion up to 1.5 metres for 30 minutes, so a sudden Nairobi downpour or a spilled drink is survivable. Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protects front and back, and the aluminium frame is made from fully recycled metal.
Who should buy the Google Pixel 11?
Photographers, videographers, and journalists who shoot on the move get the most from the triple camera and 30x Super Zoom. Software developers testing Android 17 builds want the earliest release and the longest patch runway. Doctors at Aga Khan and Nairobi Hospital and lawyers at Milimani Law Courts benefit from Call Assist and 30-hour battery life across long days. Students at Strathmore and USIU get a phone that stays current through an entire degree and beyond.
