In the world of budget smartphones, the $115 (N40,000) mark is a sweet spot for a lot of people. As a matter of fact, I was not surprised when someone requested that I put together a list of the best Android phones under 40000 Naira.

This price point is critical because it is where you find the crossover between 2GB RAM and 3GB RAM. We will be exploring the best smartphones under N40,000 in different categories – top performance, best battery life, best physical build, all-round value, and lastly a budget category.

Now, let’s get down to our list.

Gionee S11 Lite (4GB,32GB)

The S11 Lite from Gionee was released in 2017, so it runs Android 7 Nougat, which is a bit old now. But it is still a very capable smartphone and is one of the best Android phones under 40000 Naira you can buy today. It has a respectable Snapdragon 430 processor, 4GB of RAM and 32GB internal storage. With that amount of RAM, launching apps and switching between apps is bliss. It has a 5.7-Inch HD display with18:9 aspect ratio, 4G LTE, rear-mounted fingerprint scanner.

Price : N36,200

UMIDIGI A3 Pro

With the same 5.7″ screen size as the Gionee S11 Lite, UMIDIGI A3 Pro is more up-to-date in terms of software. It runs Android 8.1. and is powered by a quad-core Mediatek MT6739 processor.

Its strength is in the fact that it is equpoped with 3GB of RAM and 32GB internal storage. Plus, there is a 12MP+5MP dual camera, along with a fingerprint reader, at the back. If you want the A3 Pro, Jumia and Konga are the places to check.

Price: ₦31,900

TECNO Pouvoir 3 (LB7)

TECNO Pouvoir 3 has a massive 5,000mAh battery. The display is 6.2″ in size, and there is 4G LTE support, 32GB storage, 2GB RAM, 13MP + 13MP dual camera, Fingerprint reader, and Face Unlock.

If a battery that does not run out for over 24 to 48 hours is what you want and have a budget under N40,000, this is it.

Price: ₦39,490


Nokia 3.1 3GB/32GB

The Nokia 3.1 is the most capable and most up-to-date smartphone on this list. It was launched in 2018 with Android Oreo and it has already received Android Pie, and it is on line to receive Android Q update as well.

The 2990mAh battery may seem small, but when you consider that the display is only 5.2 inches, it is more than adequate.

Samsung Galaxy A10

Samsung’s Galaxy A10 is a solidly built phone with a polycarbonate shell. It has a 6.2-Inch display, 2GB RAM, 32GB ROM, and runs Android 9.0 Pie. There is a 13MP + 5MP dual camera at the back as well.

Being a Samsung, carrying one around puts you in the class of cool people.

Price: ₦38,000


Huawei Y5 2019

Another classy mention among Android phones under 40000 Naira is Huawei’s Y5 2019. If you like the look and feel of leather, it has a very nice faux leather finish.

It has a compact 5.71″ display with a teardrop notch, 2GB RAM, and options of 16GB and 32GB storage. We are looking at the 32GB storage option here. The 3020mAh battery is adequate.

Price: ₦35,000


TECNO Spark 3 Pro

When it comes to overall features, TECNO’s SPark 3 Pro is a smartphone under 40000 Naira that you should consider. It has a 6.2″ display with wide notch, 4G LTE, dual camera, fingerprint reader, and a 3500mAh battery.

Price: ₦38,500.00

Infinix Smart 3 Plus 2GB/32GB

I lot of them nokia 3.2 3.1 plus

Pure rubbish
Just whatsapp and IG alone will hang them like shirt

I only changed my phone when it got damages or charging point is bad, I haven't even started buying my sold shares again and this people still producing to extort us... Affordable only to those who have built home and own business, not those dependable or working to pay landlord daily. Until my phone can't perform same task with that, I am not changing it

I do not know why these people produce new
phones within one to two months with nonesense specs.
they should all retreat,create a good design,produce and sell.
At least they should allow us to enjoy the ones they produce before pushing out new craps.


But they keep pushing out new products because they have people to buy them.
No wonder you can't see these in developed countries.

OK they art not bad.
