Best Cheap Android Smartphones Between ₦10,000 to ₦20,000

Phones are no longer cheap. The current plight of the
Nigerian Naira has sent prices of products aiming for
the sky. Just a couple of years back, you could get a
working Android device below ₦10,000, but that is
not the case anymore.
Just to be clear, you are not going to get the very best
Android phone for less that₦20,000. As a matter of
fact, all you will be getting is a budget phone with
pretty low specifications. Still, if you’re on a very tiny
budget, there’s no other option but to consider some
of these cheap Android phones.
Are there cheap Android phones
below ₦10,000?
It should be noted that most of the phones in this
category have very low RAM, small internal storage,
and the display is pretty tiny in most cases even if
they are touchscreen devices. Again, they are not
always Android phones. Phones like iTel 6800, iTel
6900 and the rest of them selling for less than
₦10,000 on e-commerce stores like Jumia and Konga
are usually feature phones (known mostly as Java
phones).
Don’t be deceived, they are not running Android OS.

Final note
There are several other brands of phones
below ₦20,000 in Nigerian e-commerce stores and
phone shops; some devices are even being sold
below ₦15,000 but the ones listed above have been
handpicked for a reason. The devices in this post
were handpicked because they can be easily repaired
from service centers across the country, most of the
brands have a physical presence in Nigeria.
Talk about brands like Allwin, Leagoo, Homtom,
Landvo and the rest of them also selling cheap
phones, they have no physical presence in the
country and a damaged screen may be the end of
their products.
