So we all agree that the major issues with these new brands is finding their parts for repair

Leilalee:
but with enough market reserve and reviews, trying out a new brand is not so bad take realme and Poco for example they make really good phones

C71 might be my next upgrade, my current phone battery dey always die halfway through work

I've been here, changing hasn't really been my thing, but recently i started using the realme, its kinda still new but it was really everything i need plus its not on the high side

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.

fear of unknown, let me just stick to my Tecno in peace, if I want to explore, I’d try iPhone

Exactly! Some of these so-called ‘unknown’ brands dey perform pass the popular ones

It’s not fear o, na trust. Once people trust a brand, dem no wan change

Me I no dey blame anybody sha… person no wan waste money experiment

Na awareness matter o. Plenty people no even know say realme or Vivo dey legit 👀

True talk! Nigerians just dey stick to wetin dem sabi

But fr I no go lie, Realme phones dey underrated big time

Most people stick to what they know, fear of wasting money on a brand they’ve never used is real.

New brands struggle here because Nigerians value trust and resale value more than just specs.

“It’s also about after-sales support, if people can’t find parts or repair centers easily, they won’t risk it.
