Good day fellow NairaLanders.
I currently use an Itel A16 - we all know how Itel phones with low RAM do hang.
I am creating this thread to ask a few questions.
I want to get a smartphone but based on my financial status ( I am a Senior Secondary School 1 student), I can't get a brand new one cause I don't want to make a mistake of buying a phone with low specs again.
I have a Dell Latitude 2120 laptop that I use for enhancing my knowledge on the DESKTOP PUBLISHING course I am currently studying.
My classmates often tell me that I can get a good fairly used phone around ST. PETER axis at Alaba Int'l market. I decided to get more information from the matured tech guys on Nairaland.
My question is 'IS IT ADVICEABLE TO BUY A USED PHONE?'

Who can recommend a phone that I can currently get the fairly used one at a price of 30,000 naira or below
Please the phone should be one with at least one GB RAM or above

Anyone who can help with an advice should simply mention me in his/her comment

Is there anyone here working at Alaba market who has an idea about how much any of the Tecno spark or Infinix hot series cost?

Please the phone should be from the Transsion Holdings either Tecno or Infinix since they are the most commonly used and cheapest smartphones in Nigeria

Tecno Spark 3 pro or Spark 3 should be 30k
Spark 3 is actually 30k
I don't Reside there but if it works for you... Fine

You might get Infinix Hot 6 at 30k tho... I don't know
Hot 4 is 40-45k I don't know why but that's just it

I'm not Advising you to go for Transsion Phones but if it were me I'd just Manage...
But if you have a Budget of 30k to 40k, you can get a Better phone that is not from the Transsion Companies

Go for Umidigi A3x
The Price Of the Phone Starts from 30k to 45k
Choose Wisely bro
Not All Tecno phones I would mention has a 2GB Ram or 32GB Rom

Pick Either of the following :
Umidigi A3x 30k to 45k
Huawei Y6 pro 30k to 40k
Nokia 5.1 is 45k to 50k
Gionee S8 or S9 which is like 35k to 45k

Muzil, you can get a phone of that value on this platform without going to Alaba international where you might be defrauded. Just take ur time and go through post on this section and you will find who is ready to sell. I bought my tecno pop4 here

Thanks bro. I will prefer buying in a place where I can meet the seller physically

Definately, you and the person will surely meet at an agreed venue where the exchanges would be made.

My Guy no go Alaba, it’ll end in tears
Or go with someone that’s not JJC.
I think comp village is better a bit.
Better still enter jiji, go to phones and filter your search results based on your specs, ram, budget and all

I have made a research about the Umidigi A3x. It's price is between 25k to 30k. Specs wise, I think it's a nice phone. Please do you have a review about it?

All I can say is that... I've not Heard any Bad Reviews for the Phone

.

I have made a research about the phones and I can boldly say that the Umidigi A3x suits me most.
