Where Can I Find Cheap Samsung Phones in Kenya?

Samsung is undoubtedly one of the most respected phone brands in Kenya. Samsung phones are regarded as high quality phones. They tend to be reasonably durable phones, with well designed features. And in most forums, it is prestigious to be seen with a Samsung phone. The last bit, about Samsung phones being prestigious is important, because in Kenya today, mobile phones are not just communication gadgets, but also ‘class items’. That is why Kenyans insist on placing their mobile phones on the table, especially if they have high class mobile phones – you know, as a class statement. It is akin to placing car keys on the table, rather than putting them in the pocket where they belong!

So, where can you find cheap Samsung phones in Kenya? Well, it depends on what ‘cheap’ means to you. All stores that sell mobile phones in Kenya tend to stock the Samsung brand. There are some low-end Samsung feature phones, which you may be able to buy brand new at prices as low as 2,000 shillings. The most important thing here is to ensure that you are buying an original Samsung phone. In Kenya, you find that there are original Samsung phones and there are others that may seem not to be so original. You can get an original Samsung smart-phone in Kenya starting at, say, 8,000 to 10,000 shillings on the low-end in most places. But that would a real smart-phone.

If you are willing to go the second hand phones route, then you can find some very good Samsung phones being sold for a song. It is not uncommon to find a Samsung phone that would ordinarily cost 30,000 being sold for 7,000 shillings in the second hand market. But the problem here is that you could buy stolen goods that would then put you in a great deal of trouble. 

Still, some of the second hand Samsung phones in Kenya turn out to be phones whose owners sold them while upgrading to better models. Others turn out to be Samsung phones whose owners had to sell at very low prices due to financial difficulties... So it is unfair to assume that all Samsung second hand phones in Kenya are stolen property, but it is also important to conduct proper due diligence before buying.
