Good evening, I have managed to save 18k out of my monthly salary to buy a New Phone, in the past I have always made the wrong choices in Buying Phone and i don't want that to repeat itself again.

Pls i want you to advice me...thanx
Use 11,000 and purchase Tecno Y3. Save the rest of the money.

Since my Tecno phantom battery could not get a replacement. Nothing wrong with phone, i have stopped placing emphasis of costly android phones. I use a Y3 now.

Android phones and their funny names (Gionee,Tecno,Wiko,Gowin et al) grin can one ever get a good phone with 18k? OP keep that cash aside and continue saving, I advice u go for and iPhone even if it's iPhone 4s it's way better than this junks nairaland fellows are recommending, join the APPLE family and say farewell to this wacky phone brands called Android & Windows. APPLE (think different) cheesy

The best phone I have ever used is the google Nexus 5. Now the 6th version is out. It's especially great if you like using google to search and you are or want to become tech savvy. It's battery life is also amazing and so is the camera. IT's thin and light and you'll LOVE ITT!!
How much?

How old are you?
No grown up nairalander will give such advice.
This advicing him to buy a phone he will not enjoy in Nigeria.
Are you stupid?
IPhone 4s wey my brother use vex smash for ground?
Buy phone that you can use cheat with. Or can buy affordable data with. Or can get app from people with having to download them.
Receive sense!

Why dyu want to waste your hard earned 18k to buy a phone , that will be obsolete in 2 months, just buy a simple java phone na, lets face it 18k wont get u the phone u need to impress that girl so save your money for now, dont buy those chinko phones they re telling you they wont last , instead buy confirm uk or us unlocked phones they re the koko.

18K won't get you a good, durable phone, that is another bad decision waiting to happen.

My advise: wait, have patience, save some more, increase your budget to 45k, then come back and pose the same question as above.
ut advise will demoralise him,

{olayinkajnr} Where can I get this phone for N16,500? I really need one right now because my infinix zero has been a pain in my butt.
You Can't get it on Jumia. But YOU can get in any phone store. The Most they will sell to you is #17000 but if u price, they will sell it for #16500

Nigerians are quick to make thoughtless decisions whenever they happen to lay their sticky fingers on meagre lump of dough. You see them rushing to acquire substandard products they can use for the 'now', they don't think long term. Later on, you see them creating compliant threads a week later to ask for help.

18k would only get him another bad case of wahala, good things don't come cheap in the real world. A patient dog eats the fattest bone as they say.
Re: With 18k What Is The Best Phone I Can Afford? by buddydoze(m): 11:33am On Oct 27, 2015
The latest and best phone for that amount if I may advice is Infinix Hot2 with 1G RAM,16G Internal Memory but if you can add about 2k to it you can get the one with 2G RAM,16G Internal Memory. I've bought it and for my colleague at work and we are all enjoying it.
Re: With 18k What Is The Best Phone I Can Afford? by bemtos: 11:37am On Oct 27, 2015

Gionee M3mini bro. Its #16500. Very nice phone. Only let down is that it's 1ghz but the chipset and the gpu covers the flaws. It has android 5.1 as the software version and it has 4G LTE. Its same size as Gionee P4 and Tecno H6. The battery is 4000mah. Checkout the official thread below

1ghz is the processing speed. Many phones boast of 1.3ghz. But the chipset in this phone reduces any form of lag... It's a great device
