10 Old Phones Nigerians Would Still Buy Today by replybbot(m): 1:28pm On Jul 22, 2021
While Nigerians are so in love with the currently trending phones, their are times when most Nigerians feel something about the previously reigning phones. I could remember there was a time, the year 2016 precisely; Nokia 3310, 1100, 1600 and 3220 were again, becoming common in the hands of Nigerians especially in Lagos, Ilorin, Ibadan and Osogbo - at least, those were the cities I was frequent then.

It's as if the thoughts of these phones which are now seemingly forgotten still clings in the minds of Nigerians such that, at the slightest opportunities, whenever these phones are available; they'll still buy it.

If you were asked, what would your choice be? Which phone is no longer in market that you'll still love to buy if it ever surfaced in the market again?

Below is the list of phones some Nigerians say they'd still buy any day:

The list is by recommendations not my thoughts. I guess Moto Blade and MyC 55 are your favourites. Correct?

The Nokia 5130 was a beauty to behold.

I so much loved the phone back then that I was always dreaming and fantasising about it. There's something so unique about the aesthetic that I cannot explain.

Having sold over 65millon units, this phone is among the best selling mobile phones in history.

I am still interested in buying this phone if I see it again today.

The two most popular brands then were Ericsson and Nokia but Ericsson was much more advanced interms of graphics and other functions, the only downside of Ericsson was their poor battery. I also hated thier connection port which gets slack easily.

I bought the W810, the battery life was terrible! It couldn't last a whole day on a full charge even without pressing it. I could literally exhaust the full charge under 1hr with light to medium usage. The connection port also frustrated me. I don't know why Ericsson will use such a terrible method for connecting things with the phone.

I love it when you said interms of graphics and other option that's what makes them standout even this my Sony Xperia which I'm using now It can be connected to ps4 and 3, the fact is that Sony still remain the best to me.... Even tho their products is not moving in Africa

Nokia was just too much! They built extremely sophisticated phones so simply. Durable and rugged phones.

Thats true.

I'm currently using the new remodeled XpressMusic, NOKIA 5310 2020, the white colour.

Most people that see that phone with me, always admire its beauty.

Nokia are trying, no cap.

Hmmn, good old days. My first phone was one flip Samsung phone, it was using infrared grin Then I remember I used one Nokia 53something, also a flip phone, very beautiful and the sound was great. Then I used another Nokia X2 or something, very powerful battery wise and beautiful too. Then another Nokia, not flip but like a slide. Can't really remember their names (models) as all of them were gifts. I used one tiny Motorola, about 2 or 3 blackberries and Nokia ASA which I still have till tomorrow. That ASA refuse to spoil or miss. Still strong and working. All of them were gifts, My dad and bf.
