If I'm to choose based on looks and design, I would prefer the Infinix device though, the POP 9 is a no no for me

If you don't need to do a lot of heavy with your phone, the Tecno pop series is not bad at all

Re: Budget Smartphone Showdown: Top 5 Picks In Nigeria For Q2 2025 by Desewa08: 7:10pm On Jun 08, 2025
Tecno really stepped up with the Spark 30C! Fast charging and HD+ screen at that price? Not bad at all

This list is solid! Infinix Hot 50i looks like the perfect daily driver. 5000mAh battery? Count me in
Re: Budget Smartphone Showdown: Top 5 Picks In Nigeria For Q2 2025 by Desewa08: 7:11pm On Jun 08, 2025
The realme Note 50 is such a steal for that price 😮🔥 Budget phones are really not playing in 2025!

Truly...realme is making waves in the Nigerian phone market
Re: Budget Smartphone Showdown: Top 5 Picks In Nigeria For Q2 2025 by debopeola(f): 10:27pm On Jun 08, 2025
In the Nigerian market now, I think the realme Note 50 is the cheap of them all. Even the Tecno Pop has now stepped up their piece range.
Re: Budget Smartphone Showdown: Top 5 Picks In Nigeria For Q2 2025 by debopeola(f): 10:28pm On Jun 08, 2025
As long as they remain legit and their devices remain of great quality, they are bound to keep the market.
