I’m curious to hear from people who have actually used these phones.

If you have between ₦300k and ₦500k to buy a phone today, which one would you choose and why?

My priorities would be:

• Good camera for pictures/videos
• Strong battery life
• Smooth performance
• Good storage
• Durability
• Something that will still be valuable after using it for a while

Would you go for iPhone, Samsung, Google Pixel, Xiaomi/Redmi, Tecno or Infinix?

And importantly, would you buy UK-used/foreign-used or brand new?

Let’s hear honest recommendations from people actually using these phones.

Iphone 15 pro max

Or Iphone 16E

With N500k, you'll get a UK used Pixel 8 pro

Pixel 6 series to pixel 8 series. I got a carton pixel 6 midyear and I'm glad I did. I enjoy unlimited features from Google and I even recently updated to the latest android 17. For a 4 year old phone, this model still competes with latest flagship phones in 2026.

If you don't have house of your own or you don't have a family or a car I suggest you readjust your priorities

He said something within a price range of 300k and 500k and you want to bankrupt him.

This is also my budget 300-400k maximum and I’m looking at 11 pro max for 320-350k max or 12 pro for 355k-380k maximum price i can buy it

A lie that gets repeated long enough begins to be taken as the truth.

I understand pixel 6 and below will no longer receive Google updates anymore.

I am planning to get pixel 8 soon

Really? Is it 500k that will build a house? The budget is reasonable.

Any iPhone of that financial range because there are only 2 phones, iPhone and others.

Tell us a smart phone brand that can compete with iPhone in terms of camera aside google pixel.
