What phone are you currently using in 2026, and how much did you buy it for? Let’s see the devices Nairalanders are using in 2026 👀

Whether it’s an iPhone, Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Xiaomi, Google Pixel, or any other brand, let’s hear from you.

Please include:
• Phone model
• Year you bought it
• Purchase price
• Your experience so far

I’ll start:

iPhone 14 Pro Max
Bought: 2022
Price: Around ₦1 million+
Experience: Still performs well, good camera, smooth performance, but battery health has dropped over time.

Your turn 👇

Infinix Hot 8, bought in 2020

iPhone 17.

Bought: 2025

Price: ₦1.8 million

Experience: A minor upgrade from my 6S. The biggest positive changes are camera and sound quality. Speed? Meh. It’s new; it’s meant to be fast. The major headache was a lot of software had yet to catch up when it was a month old. Now, at almost a year, every software has a 17 compatible version. Battery health is at 99%. I lost 1% when I installed a protective case.

Would you recommend it for gaming?” How good is the camera at night?”
Any issues since you bought it?”
