You can get Infinix HOT 60 pro plus, it's what I'm using now and it's very solid,

I got mine for around 290k at the start of the year, but it would be slightly above 300k now sha, depending on the variant you go for.

Thank me later.

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.
That’s actually impressive for a 4-year-old phone. 😂 What do you think makes the Pixel 6 still worth using in 2026 — the camera, software updates, or overall performance?

I’ve heard quite a lot about the Hot 60 Pro+ 👌🏽 At around ₦300k, it sounds like an interesting option. What do you like most about it so far—battery, camera, performance, or the display?

Samsung S22, S22 Ultra, s23, s23 ultra, S24
iPhone 12 pro Max- 14 pm
Xioma 12T 5G
That’s quite a lineup 😂 You’ve really tested different brands. Out of all these, which one gave you the best overall experience, and which one would you not buy again?

It's a very solid phone, Great display because it's an AMOLED display, 144hz refresh rate, clean and smooth,

I literally have no complaints, the only things is it's not made for heavy gaming, but hand handle standard gaming tho.

Camera is great, battery is strong.

I wrote a review on it if you want to know more about the Infinix HOT 60 PRO PLUS,

Here's the link to that review - https://guidescafe.ng/infinix-hot-60-pro-plus-is-as-awesome-as-advertised-here-are-its-most-interesting-experiences/

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
I understand your point, but priorities aren’t the same for everyone. What makes sense financially depends on each person’s income, responsibilities and stage of life

😂 Life truly no balance. But if you get ₦500k today, you go use am buy phone or invest am for the business?
Re: What Is The Best Phone To Buy In Nigeria Right Now With ₦300k–₦500k by Sirseedorf(m): 5:01pm On Sep 16
I'd rather put the money on my business because that is the only source of income I have, besides am into phones repairs so i don't fancy changing of phone like that.

U know how much be 15 pm and iPhone 16E?

The guy should budget 1m and above if he wants the above phones you mentioned
prices of iPhones can change things completely. But that’s why I’m interested in what people are actually buying within their budget. If you had ₦1m+ specifically for a phone, which exact model would you go for and why?

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
That’s actually within the budget I was asking about. Between the 11 Pro Max at ₦320k–₦350k and 12 Pro around ₦355k–₦380k, which one would you personally pick and why?

11 pro max with more than 85-90% battery will give you great long lasting time and can handle a little bit of gaming but 12 pro is not too much with battery life but if you re not gaming or doing heavy task it can last 5-6hrs on a single charge and it has a much more modern design unlike the 11 pro max which is bulky and old

Poco x8 pro, Poco X7 Pro, Motorola edge,
Re: What Is The Best Phone To Buy In Nigeria Right Now With ₦300k–₦500k by Perseverance127: 5:54pm On Sep 16
I will highly recommend the following
1. Moto g86 power 5g (I'm currently using it)
2. Motorola edge 60 pro
3. Motorola edge 60 fusion
4. 2025 Moto G stylus
Motorola phones are really good. I'm using one.

He can add small money and get a Pixel Fold.

I got many of it as a birthday gifts on 13th of this month
I haven't open it or use it before. But for 5 different people to buy it,means it's a good phone
McLizbae:
I am eyeing this phone... How rugged is it? Cos I actually need a stable rugged phone that can give me at least 5years like my current Huawei..

If na camera you want, use that money and buy Nikon grin

The primary purpose of a phone is to communicate and as long as the device you've got is doing that perfectly, you're good to go.

Overall performance. Clean software, no useless malware apps. Wows me everytime. The camera is second to none.

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

I am planning to get pixel 8 soon
Yeah pixel 6 peak update ends at android 17. But that's fine by me cos there are people who still use android 8 in 2026. Android 17 will still last a couple of years. Pixel 8 is also a solid option but I chose 6 cos of its unique design. Pixel 8 upwards looks like an iPhone copy.
