Send a list of devices you’ve seen already within your budget.

The simple answer is No reliable phone less than even 300K
Except you want buy used phone.

Hope u are voting Jagaban in 2027?

How Nigerinas disrespect money as a whole amazes me.
That is why the traders who sell to or offer services to them don't respect them either.

Imagine someone asking such a question about an amount that is about 3 times the minimum monthly wage of the country's people.

What do you think phone sellers will do when they see that you people buy phones not because you expect to use them functionally but because of the price range?

The sellers will naturally jack up the price, knowing very well that you attribute reliability to price.
Instead, you should be asking for a phone that meets your needs, irrespective of the price. Basic needs should be clear. You don't need a phone with premium data security when you are an average Nigerian with your phone password as the only data you protect.

Anyway sha abeg make Una continue so the Poor among us go see 2ndHand or Tokunbo buy. At least There would be no USEd items if No one is buying the New Ones

Go for these two iPhones
iPhone X 130k Or iPhone XR 180k

Tinubu do this one
How can these average phone be above 200k?

Phone is now getting beyond the reach of the average man.

And these things only have value and lasts for a year, after that if you fail to upgrade you are in trouble.

So you're saying it's not possible to get a phone of less than 200K for an elderly woman?

You obviously do not know what you're talking about

Is this one of the many manifestations of the ripple hyperinflation effect of Tinubu's wicked subsidy removal that hiked petrol price to N1,350 instead of crashing it below N185 promised

When did you buy your 30k phone?

Was it before Tinubu, or was it after Tinubu?

Tecno spark 50 will be ok

Transition, Tecno, infinix and itel, but is better to get other brands in London used.

You can also get Poco brand or Redmi they are both from Xiaomi company.

If you need any of the Xiaomi contact @noboby in Xiaomi thread store here on nairaland his reliable.

It depends on a lot of things.... And what you want to use it for.... In the hands of a light user.... Itel, infinix, techno phones can be reliable..... So e depend on werin you want from the phone....
For someone like me..... 1m phone sef no deh reliable

Meanwhile, those that carry phone worth #3M, ask them what other things they are doing on it that #150k cannot do, they would start craw-craw body and be telling you, how the pic mad, how the memory strong, how it fast like lightening.

..... As if I'm a photographer, or news editor that must depends on beautiful pic & video at all times.

Some1 is advising you to buy a gun and keep, Lolz 😂
