We recently concluded a survey carved out from random sampling and interviews from and around the country. Lagos, Port Harcourt, Owerri and Abuja were our target areas. Here's a list of Nigeria's top 5 selling gadgets.

1. Tecno Android Phones.

Since it's entry into the Nigerian market, Tecno Android based phones have been a commodity for almost every home or phone owners. Major reasons being, it is cheaper, posses stronger battery life, durable and cheaper repairs as phone parts or accessories seems to be readily available in the market unlike other brands.

2. H.P Laptops/Servers

H.P laptops (China, U.S or European builds) grabs the number two spot. Every hardware vendor has a couple of these and of course, it is a top seller. Seems H.P has gained confidence in most Nigerians as they acquire its products for home or Office use. The Banks and similar institutions recommend H.P servers most often as well.

3. Android Tablets

Android Tablets of any build have flooded the Nigerian market for about 2 years now. Note, the brand does not really count. End users just need an Android Tablet especially sim based ones as Wi-Fi is not as available when compared to developed nations.

4. Blackberry Phones

Enterprise based Blackberry phones takes the number 4 spot. The prices of this device(s) dropped drastically with the introduction of Android in the Nigerian market but still its heads up as it is considered a "classy device" to own by most Nigerians.

5. Samsung Android devices

Samsung has it at number 5 ranging from Samsung Android powered phones to Tablets. End users consider Samsung a reliable brand and seems to be closely following Tecno only more expensive.
