Let’s talk money matter. Most Nigerians no dey buy ₦500k iPhones. The hot spot na ₦150k–₦200k range. But not all brands dey worth am.

TECNO/Infinix: very popular, after-sales service dey.

Redmi/Xiaomi: mad specs, but repair/service sometimes wahala.

realme: upcoming for Naija, but specs dey solid and price dey friendly.


So if you hold ₦200k today:

Which brand you go buy?

Which one you don test personally wey you fit vouch for?


Make we compare notes. E go help plenty people wey dey plan upgrade.

If we’re being real, Nigerians dey love familiar brands. When it comes to phones, na TECNO, Infinix, iPhone and Samsung wey dey reign.

But worldwide, other brands dey trend big time.... like realme, Oppo, Vivo. For example, realme dey ship millions of units every year in Asia and Europe. Same specs wey Redmi dey offer, realme dey give too, sometimes even cheaper.

So the question be:

Why we dey always stick to only the popular brands?

Na lack of awareness?

Na fear of “unknown” brands?

Or na just say we no wan take risk?


Who here don try one of these “newer” brands before? Share your experience make we reason am.
