Mascom International stocks the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 with 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM at KSh 70,000, sold as a used international import in clean, tested condition. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 unfolds from a 6.2-inch cover screen to a 7.6-inch inner display, both at 120Hz, and runs on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. A 50MP main camera with 3x telephoto and ultrawide lenses sits on the back, powered by a 4400mAh battery. The phone is ready to see and test at our store on the first floor of the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.

Built for executives, developers, journalists and logistics coordinators across Kenya, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 tackles the frustration of working on a cramped phone screen. Closed, it handles calls, Lipa na M-Pesa payments and quick replies like any slab phone. Open, it turns into a compact workspace where you can draft a report, track deliveries on a map and join a Google Meet call at the same time. Managers moving between Westlands and Industrial Area review dashboards on the inner screen during the drive, then fold the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 shut before stepping into the next meeting.

Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell used foldables untested and leave buyers to find hinge or screen faults later, Mascom International checks each Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 for crease condition, hinge feel, touch response, cameras and charging. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the gapless hinge was the reason they finally moved to a foldable. At Mascom International, we're seeing professionals pick the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 as the sweet spot between older Fold models and the much pricier Fold6. Drop by Kimathi Street to try one in your hand, or order on WhatsApp with pay-on-arrival delivery.

Common Questions About the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5

What does the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 256GB cost in Kenya?
Mascom International prices the used Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 256GB at KSh 70,000 at its store on Kimathi Street, Nairobi. That amount includes a 6-month warranty on hardware functionality and pay-on-arrival delivery, so you check the phone before paying. Samsung did not put a charger in the box, so plan for a 25W USB-C adapter if you do not already own one. For comparison, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 256GB sells for KSh 58,000 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 256GB for KSh 96,000.

Is this Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 used or refurbished, and what is the difference?
This Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 is used: a carefully maintained international import, lightly used outside Kenya and sold after our checks. A refurbished phone has gone through repairs, often with replaced screens or batteries, whereas a used phone keeps its original parts and condition. Mascom International tests the hinge, both displays, all cameras, the speakers and charging on every unit. Battery health and small cosmetic details vary between phones, so ask on WhatsApp for photos and the battery status of the exact unit you are buying.

Is the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 worth it over the newer Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6?
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 costs KSh 70,000 at Mascom International, KSh 26,000 less than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 256GB at KSh 96,000. The Fold6 adds a newer processor, a slimmer and lighter body, a wider cover screen and a longer software support promise. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 keeps the same 7.6-inch inner screen size, gapless hinge and 50MP triple camera. Choose the Fold5 if you want the modern foldable experience at a fair price; choose the Fold6 if you plan to keep the phone for many years.

How does the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 handle Kenya's networks, heat and dust?
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 connects to Safaricom, Airtel Kenya and Telkom, and international units support the 5G bands n41 and n78 used for 5G in Kenya. It holds one nano-SIM and one eSIM at the same time. Its IPX8 rating protects against rain and water, but it carries no dust rating, so keep it in a case on dusty roads or at the Coast's sandy beaches. In Nairobi's afternoon heat, avoid leaving it on a car dashboard, since folding screens dislike high temperatures.

Who should buy the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5, and who is it not for?
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 fits professionals who read, write and juggle apps all day and want a foldable that closes flat. Developers checking code, journalists filing stories and executives reading board papers get the most from it. It is not for buyers who want the strongest zoom camera or a light, rugged phone. Those buyers do better with the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra at KSh 86,000, or the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra at KSh 67,000 for a lower price.

Does the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 work with the S Pen?
Yes, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 works with the S Pen Fold Edition and the S Pen Pro on its inner screen, both sold separately. The pen suits architects marking up drawings, lecturers annotating slides and lawyers signing documents on the go. The cover screen does not accept pen input, so you write only when the phone is open. Use only pens designed for foldables, because a standard stylus tip can damage the inner screen's plastic surface.

How long will the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 keep getting software updates?
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 launched in July 2023 with Android 13, and Samsung committed to four major Android upgrades. That path takes it up to Android 17, so a phone bought now still has software support ahead. Each upgrade brings new One UI features, including Galaxy AI tools that Samsung rolled out to this model. Security patches keep banking apps, M-Pesa and email working safely, which matters to anyone running finances from the phone.

Can the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 replace a laptop for students and remote workers?
For many tasks, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 replaces a laptop: it opens Word, Excel, Google Docs and Canva with two or three apps side by side. Pair a Bluetooth keyboard and Samsung DeX on an external display, and it becomes a basic desktop for KRA filings or eCitizen applications. Students at JKUAT, Kenyatta and USIU use it for reading, research and assignments between classes. Heavy software such as AutoCAD or video editing suites still needs a proper laptop.

Display Panels
  • 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner screen — opens into a tablet-sized canvas for reading, editing and side-by-side apps.
  • 6.2-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X cover screen — lets you reply, call and pay with M-Pesa while the phone stays closed.
  • 120Hz on both displays — the image refreshes 120 times each second, so swipes and scrolling look fluid.

Processor and Performance

  • Roughly 12 hours of 4K video at 30fps, or about 33 hours at 1080p, if the storage holds video alone.

Camera System
