What moves a Galaxy A05s's price
Two phones of the same model can be KES 5,000 apart. This is where that gap comes from, in shillings rather than percentages.
Condition: up to KES 5,000
A tidy Galaxy A05s with no marks fetches around KES 13,500. Let it pick up visible wear and the same phone brings roughly KES 8,500. Dropping from good to fair alone costs about KES 2,500, which is usually more than a screen or back-glass repair, so fixing obvious damage before you list is normally worth it.
Storage: about KES 1,500
The 128GB Galaxy A05s carries roughly a KES 1,500 premium over the 64GB on the used market. Say which one you have in the listing title, because buyers filter on it and an unstated capacity gets read as the smaller one.
Battery health, box and paperwork
Battery health is the first thing a careful buyer asks about, and the number is worth quoting in the listing. The original box, charger and receipt push you toward the upper end of the range, partly because they help prove the phone is genuinely yours.
A verifiable IMEI
With the Communications Authority estimating that 30 to 40 percent of handsets in Kenya are counterfeit, a buyer who can dial *#06# and text the number to 1555 in front of you will pay more, and faster. Our guide to checking a phone IMEI in Kenya covers the whole check.
These figures are private-sale prices, what one person pays another. Shops and trade-in counters pay below them, because they need a margin to resell the phone.

Samsung Galaxy A05s: common questions
How much is a Galaxy A05s in Kenya?+
A used Samsung Galaxy A05s costs between KES 7,500 and KES 17,000, depending on storage and condition. A brand-new sealed unit runs from about KES 14,000 to KES 19,500. The most common case, a 64GB in good used condition, sits around KES 11,000.
How much can I sell my Galaxy A05s for?+
Around KES 11,000 in good condition, up to about KES 13,500 if it is unmarked with strong battery health, and closer to KES 8,500 if it has visible wear. Selling privately on Mzuri keeps the whole amount, since there is no commission.
Does a cracked screen affect the Galaxy A05s's value?+
Yes, and by a predictable amount. Slipping from good to fair condition takes roughly KES 2,500 off this model. If a repair costs less than that, do it before you list. If it costs more, price the phone honestly as fair condition and say what is wrong, which sells faster than a surprise at the meet-up.
Is the 128GB Galaxy A05s worth paying more for?+
On the used market the 128GB carries about a KES 1,500 premium over the 64GB. Worth it if you keep a lot of video or offline media on the phone; if you mostly stream, that money buys very little.
Is the Galaxy A05s worth buying second-hand in 2026?+
As a budget option, a used Galaxy A05s in clean condition with healthy battery life is reasonable value at around KES 11,000, roughly 33 percent below what the phone cost new. Check the IMEI, confirm the model is type approved, and test the camera, charging and every button before you pay.
How do I know a used Galaxy A05s isn't stolen or fake?+
Dial *#06# on the phone itself, check the number matches the box and the settings screen, and text it to 1555 for the free Communications Authority check. Walk away from anything still locked to someone else's account.
