It's interesting to see HMS Global at 1% market share; the brand might have potential for growth with strategic marketing and product offerings tailored to Nigerian consumers
Makers of Nokia right??

Canalys is worldwide smartphone analysis company has released the list of the top 5 smartphone brands Nigerians purchase in the first quarter of 2025.

The smartphone brand with at the first place is Transsion with a market share of 56%, followed by Xiaomi at 26% , Samsung at 7%, realme who recently entered the with the realme Note 50 and C61at 2% followed by HMS Global at 1%.

In 2025, the competition among smartphone brands has intensified, with global and local manufacturers striving to offer devices that balance innovation, affordability, and functionality. Nigerian smartphone users are becoming wisers now ditching Transsion inferior products in the mid range category for worthy options like the realme and Xiaomi.

Which of these products are your favourite?

Why will you be using a 4GB RAM Phone in 2025. Is it only making phone calls and playing of music you want to be using it for?

Many PlayStore Apps are getting larger and heavier daily so your 4GB RAM is complete crap if you want to use the full smart phone features including multi tasking.

Any smart phone with less than 8GB is not future proof at all.

Very few Nigerians do buy a new iphone. A lot of Nigerians using an iphone bought a foreign used phone.
