Phone Gurus In The House, I Need Your Help, What phone can I get with 12k? by Nobody: 6:10pm On Mar 26, 2021
The title is quite self explanatory

Tho I admit that I've made a similar thread in the past (if u check my profile)

My budget then was around 18k, but one thing led to another and the plan didn't come to reality

In about two weeks or less, I'm hoping to recieve around 12k from a relative, but this money is for my feeding, allowance, transport fare, etc for 1 month (I am a student)

Nonetheless, I'm planning to get a phone with the money, so I'm prepared to go hungry for a while, I and my mom have been sharing her phone for the past few months, and I have to say, its quite frustrating

Our department has a WhatsApp messenger group and the course rep regularly provides us with updates about upcoming tests, exams, projects, assignments, lecture days and etc

Several times I've almost missed tests/classes if not for some few kind friends who remembered to call me up at the last minute

All of this is because I don't have a decent smartphone to keep in touch

I'm planning to get a phone with the following specs

Not less than Android 8.1 OS

at least 1gb of RAM

A decent amount of storage space

Good battery life

And this is very important, it needs to have 4g connectivity, my sister once used a 3g phone and judging from her experience, it wasn't a very good one, pages on chrome would take several minutes to load, messages would take hours to send.

Eventually, she got frustrated and sold the phone after just three months

I don't wanna be tied down.

So there u have it

I hope the 12k budget isn't too meager for the specs listed above, I need the phone even if its second hand

From what I can deduce, I might be lucky to get an Itel phone, but I have no choice.

I'll take what is offered

The money is still yet to come tho, and I'm not too certain

PS: For sellers on the forum, PLEASE my location is Port Harcourt, I'd rather have it that we do face to face transaction, I don't want sellers from other states, because I cannot take the waybill risk and eventually get duped.....the money is my last card and I want to be extra careful

Thank u all

After buying an Android phone of 12k, you then change your phone to iPhone X.

Tomorrow, you come back here bashing Android saying Android na dirty.

Oga step up your fund and buy a more expensive phone.
The gionee a user posted was a good one but no body knows its faults and source.

Buyer is at risk
