Top 10 quality phones that are reasonably priced by Bigroti(m): 12:14am On Sep 02, 2015
i made a list of Top 10 Android phones.this are phones With massive innovation in both hardware and operating systems,and the top handsets like the Samsung Galaxy S6, and HTC One M9 are stealing headlines around the world. and we know innovation doesn't come cheap and most of it is reserved for high-end contract handsets it can be an unpleasant affair having to drop so much money on a phone, except you are paying twice of course(paytwice) . So, is there such a thing as the 'best quality phone that is reasonably priced"?
i have done an extensive mobile phone review to find the best phones that are reasonably priced at the moment, so if you're looking to pick up a decent handset for not much cash ,these are the best budget phones going.. shall we begin!

Note: i had to change the title as we all have different understandings of the word "affordable"



1. Motorola Moto G (2014)
Weight: 149g | Dimensions: 141.5 x 70.7 x 11mm | OS: Android 4.4.4 | Screen size: 5-inch |Resolution: 720 x 1280 | CPU: Quad-core 1.2 GHz | RAM: 1GB | Storage: 8GB | Battery: 2,070mAh | Rear camera: 8MP | Front camera: 2MP
Superb value Improved camera and Lower sharpness than the 2013 Moto G. don't be surprised that i included a Motorola phone in this list Motorola is back with a vengeance and the Moto G is a cracking handset.
I dare say the Moto G is the best cheap phone currently in the market, and if you're looking for maximum bang for your money look no further.
The 5-inch display is high quality despite being only 720p, the quad-core processor is adept at handling most tasks and it can be upgraded to the latest version of Google's Android. and it goes for about 40k-45k.

2. Sony Xperia M2 Aqua
its a Water proof phone without the premium price tag
Weight: 149g | Dimensions: 140 x 72 x 8.6mm | OS: Android 4.4.2 | Screen size: 4.8-inch |Resolution: 540 x 960 | CPU: Quad-core 1.2GHz | RAM: 1GB | Storage: 8GB | Battery: 2,300mAh |Rear camera: 8MP | Front camera: VGA
this is a top level water resistance phone, with Good battery life. Fancy a cheap phone which has taken its design cues from one of the hottest flagship handsets? Then look no further than the Sony Xperia M2, it has the same style as the Xperia Z3 with a very attractive interface and impressive battery life
There are a few compromises though, this of course is as budget phone, so don't expect the camera to sparkle and the low resolution screen means you'll probably want to avoid watching movies on the M2 Aqua.
On a positive note the screen is 4.8 inches in size, giving you a whole lot of real estate for all your apps and games that can take advantage of the quad-core processor and 1GB of RAM.
Even better, if you fancy the waterproof features of Sony's more expensive Xperia Z3 but don't want to break the bank, then check out the Sony Xperia M2 Aqua. you can get it between 55-65k

3. Microsoft Lumia 640
Microsoft gets it right with this cheap Windows Phone
Weight: 145g | Dimensions: 141.3 x 72.2 x 8.8mm | OS: Windows Phone 8.1 | Screen size: 5-inches | Resolution: 720 x 1280 | CPU: Quad-core 1.2GHz | RAM: 1GB | Storage: 8GB | Battery: 2,500mAh | Rear camera: 8MP | Front camera: 1MP
the Lumia 640 gives you quality display with a Great battery life.The Microsoft Lumia 640 ushers in a new breed of Windows Phone with a large screen, increased RAM and an attractive new look.
Previous budget Windows Phones made a few too many compromises for our liking, but now that Microsoft has taken over Nokia things have changed.
The Lumia 640 has a great display, superb battery life, a good camera and best of all performs very well compared to its competitors. If you're looking for an excellent budget smartphone, then it might be time to consider moving to Windows Phone. you can get this between 50-55k


4. Huawei Ascend G7
this an allround good looking phone
Weight: 165g | Dimensions: 153.5 x 77.3 x 7.6mm | OS: Android 4.4.2 | Screen size: 5.5-inches |Resolution: 720 x 1280 | CPU: Quad-core 1.2GHz | RAM: 2GB | Storage: 16GB | Battery: 3,000mAh | Rear camera: 13MP | Front camera: 5MP
Premium design Value for your money, though the Screen resolution is only 720p
Who says budget phones have to look bad? Huawei definitely don't to think so, with its Ascend G7 sporting an excellent design that has a distinct resemblance of some Apple aesthetics.
It's not all about the look however, with the Ascend G7 packing in a surprisingly impressive set of specifications considering its price.
If you want a budget smartphone that you won't be ashamed to whip out in front of people, with enough muscle to run even the most demanding apps, then the Huawei Ascend G7 is definitely worth considering. you can get it between 70 -80k

5. HTC Desire 510
this phone gives you a Speedy 4G internet for those on a budget
Weight: 158g | Dimensions: 139.9 x 69.8 x 10mm | OS: Android 4.4.2 | Screen size: 4.7-inch |Resolution: 480 x 854 | CPU: Quad-core 1.2GHz | RAM: 1GB | Storage: 8GB | Battery: 2,100mAh |Rear camera: 5MP | Front camera: VGA
it packs a Speedy operating system and 4G internet connection capabilities.
The HTC Desire 510 is a decent budget smartphone that packs a lot of features considering its price, though it suffers from a few too many compromises to appear any higher up this list.
It comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 quad core processor that's clocked at 1.2GHz and 1GB of RAM. These enables the Android KitKat to feel fast and responsive.
The Desire 510 also comes with a removable 2100mAh battery that lasts longer than many budget smartphones, as well as 4G support for super fast mobile internet.
What keeps the HTC Desire 510 from appearing any higher in this list is the camera which manages to miss out certain details in day to day snapping. The 4.7-inch screen is also disappointing, sporting a resolution of only 480 x 854.
Despite these compromises the HTC Desire 510 is a good choice if you're looking for a budget smartphone, especially for browsing the internet. you can get it between 70-73k.

6. Nokia Lumia 735
Cheap, cheerful and perfect for selfies
Weight: 134g | Dimensions: 134.7 x 68.5 x 8.9mm | OS: Windows Phone 8.1 | Screen size: 4.7-inch | Resolution: 720 x 1280 | CPU: Quad-core 1.2GHz | RAM: 1GB | Storage: 8GB | Battery: 2,200mAh | Rear camera: 6.7MP | Front camera: 5MP
a very good front facing camera, with an HD Screen,
The second Windows Phone in this list is everything that a selfie lover could wish for, with a fantastic 5MP front-facing camera and a brightly colored design that makes it stand out from the crowd.
Even if you're not too keen on plastering the internet with close up photos of your face, there's still a lot to like about the Lumia 735.
The 4.7-inch 720p screen looks particularly good, though the quad-core 1.2GHz processor and 1GB RAM sometimes strain compared to other budget smartphones when it comes to performance. what it lacks in competitive performance, it makes up for by being a good selfie phone. you can get this between 60-65k


7 Tecno Phantom Z A7
The Tecno Phantom Z A7 is (unarguably) the best phone the Chinese mobile phone maker, Tecno has produced so far. It comes with the android 4.4 kitkat, a 2GB Ram and an HD AMOLED-glass-protected display. The Tecno Phantom Z A7 is Tecno’s flagship smartphone built for outstanding performance on both appearance and hardware.

The tecno phantom Z A3 is currently available in Nigeria between #50 ,000 — #60,000.

8. Motorola Moto E (2015)
The new Moto E packs an LTE and a few sweet upgrades
Weight: 145g | Dimensions: 129.9 x 66.8 x 12.3mm | OS: Android 5.0 | Screen size: 4.5-inch |Resolution: 540 x 960 | CPU: Quad-core 1.2GHz | RAM: 1GB | Storage: 8GB | Battery: 2,390mAh |Rear camera: 5MP | Front camera: VGA
The second generation Moto E shows that Motorola isn't messing around when it comes to budget smartphones, as it continues the legacy of its predecessor as one of the best affordable handsets you can buy.
A whole host of new features have been added to the Motorola Moto E (2015) including 4G LTE connectivity and a decent – though not exactly premium design.
It also ships with Android 5.0 Lollipop, making it one of the cheapest smartphones to come with Google's latest mobile operating system straight out of the box.
The Motorola Moto E (2015) isn't quite as good as the slightly more expensive Motorola Moto G (2014) which is also on this list, but for the low, low price you'll be hard pressed to find a better smartphone. it cost 20k or less. now that's a budget phone.

9. Nokia Lumia 530
A small smartphone for a small price
Weight: 129g | Dimensions: 119.7 x 62.3 x 11.7mm | OS: Windows Phone 8.1 | Screen size: 4.0-inch | Resolution: 480 x 854 | CPU: Quad-core 1.2GHz | RAM: 512MB | Storage: 4GB | Battery:1,430mAh | Rear camera: 5MP | Front camera: N/A
it is ridiculously cheap, it has a Micro SD card support, No front camera, No flash
The Quad-core Snapdragon 200 processor and 512MB RAM that the Nokia Lumia 530 comes with are enough to power Windows Phone 8.1 for a reasonably slick and smooth experience, though it has a very small internal storage space, just 4GB of storage space, but at least you can expand it with a microSD card.
The Lumia 530 also proves itself to be surprisingly adept at gaming and manages to keep pace with some of the more expensive Windows Phone handsets when it comes to playing graphically intensive games. It doesn't quite offer the performance of most of its Android peers in this list, however.
If you're after a cheap and cheerful smartphone that packs a number of features for a rock-bottom price, then you won't go too far, you cant go wrong with the Nokia Lumia 530. 15k should get you this phone

10.Infinix Hot X507
the Infinix Hot X507 comes with a 5 Inches display screen, Quad Core Processor, 5MP back Camera, 2MP Front cam, Dual Sim functionality

Re: Top 10 quality phones that are reasonably priced by whizbee(m): 5:58am On Sep 02, 2015
@op,go n check ur dictionary for the meaning of affordable
Re: Top 10 quality phones that are reasonably priced by Craven: 7:25am On Sep 02, 2015
The words 'affordable', 'cheap', and 'expensive' are relative. What it means to you might differ from what it does to another person. Some of the phones listed here range from around N35,000 to N40,000. N40,000 might seem expensive to you, but to another person it might seem like the value of N20,000.

I believe the writer of this post made his list according to his pocket and what he deems reasonable. If you are unsatisfied and you disagree with the list, create one of you own; one that agrees with your understanding of the word 'affordable'.

In a sense though, the title of this post is wrong. The writer should have taken into consideration that the word 'affordable' is relative, and should have tailored his post to fit his audience. In this case, 'affordable' should mean anything from N35,000 downwards. N80,000 does not qualify as 'affordable' to an average Nigerian. The writer should have picked a different title - or a different post - as some of the devices on the list do not agree with the average Nigerian's understanding of the word 'affordable'.

The moto G 2015 might be considered affordable and budget friendly to folks living in Western countries, but an average Nigerian will find it expensive. It's all relative..The base model 8gb 1 gig ram cost close to 50k.

Seen. I still think the title isn't suitable. Because there is no relationship between the prices you mentioned. You can't say they are all cheap, because they are not. There is no underlying factor that brings the different prices together. This post has more to do with features and specifications than it does price. So the title still seems unsuitable. But this is just me.

What do you mean by affordable when you are mentioning #50k and above as a price for phones.
Majority of people don't earn up to #40k monthly.
Let us not forget that your responsibility to your self and dependants are enormous.
Even if you are making much money, a phone of #50k is not a cheap one.
To those who are capable of buying phone of #100k and above, it's good for them, but don't refer #50k phone as such a cheap one.

I did not use the term cheap. I used reasonably priced because considering the specifications of the phones they are reasonably priced for their respective capabilities

Reasonably priced considering their specifications i didn't say cheap and i didn't say affordable to avoid confusion. Its like saying the new camry 2014 is reasonably priced for 5million.
Craven:

Seen. I still think the title isn't suitable. Because there is no relationship between the prices you mentioned. You can't say they are all cheap, because they are not. There is no underlying factor that brings the different prices together. This post has more to do with features and specifications than it does price. So the title still seems unsuitable. But this is just me.

Look at you that understands the meaning of affordable and you call 80k affordable? A phone of 80k can never be called affordable, no matter the angle you want to look at it from. And to think that the op didn't even mention affordable shows this guy here doesn't know what he's saying.

He mentioned 60k, 65k, 70k, 73k, 55k , 50k and all those can't be called affordable either.
