The prices of smart phones has increased tremendously in the last two weeks. I went to buy the newly released Infinix hot 7, only to be told that it is #45,000. I couldn't just buy a 1 gig ram phone for that amount. Please any person with an insight to this change can help us shade more light.

Not only on phones but on accessories too. Guess there are issues importing or clearing goods

What do you expect?

Flagships now cost between 400k to 700k.

The next wave is going to be mid-rangers going for the sub-200k range with nice features, because soon people will stop paying half a million for a device that becomes obsolete in 9 months.

is it bad using a phone for 3years?

Galaxy S10+

Huawei P30 Pro

What are you, a novice?

Both galaxy S10+ and p30 pro starts at 1000$(₦360k) for the base model only higher storage options give u 1100$(390k) or 1200$(the ceramic 1Terabyte) galaxy S10+(420k)

Galaxy Fold $1,980 (720k+)

Mate X $2,600 (940k+)

Mate 20 Pro $1,150 (418k+)

Face it, phones are becoming more expensive. These days a $500 (180k) phone is considered affordable.....that's less than the price of the flagship Galaxy S6 when it came out.

Weak phones with 1Gb RAM and lousy mediatek SoCs such as the Huawei Y5 Lite cost more than 30K.

The first two phones you mentioned are foldable smartphones so one would expect the price to be that high, mate 20 pro now sells for $750 on AliExpress, but I it was launched for $1100!!

Hot 7 is offically 34k and 38k so where did you see 45k oga

oga go and buy a beta tecno fone,their devices are cheap
