Posted by You will find scores of smartphones that cost ₦50,000 (or $150) and below. However, not all of them offer the same value. If you are shopping in that range, we have compiled for you a list of the very best Android phones under 50000 naira.
First up, what can you expect from smartphones in the ₦50,000 ($150) price range? You can expect to see smartphones that combine the following:
- 4G LTE,
- a dependable processor,
- at least 3GB of RAM,
- at least 32GB of storage,
- a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, and
- a beefy battery.
The best Android phones under 50000 naira or 150 dollars
With that in mind, let us jump into our list of the best Android phones under 50000 naira. We even have one that combines 64 GB storage and 4 GB RAM. Great value for money, if you ask me.
TECNO Camon 11 4GB/64GB – best value for money
We are starting off with the best bargain available for most users. TECNO Camon 11 Pro stands head above the shoulders of others in our list of the best smartphones under 50000 naira or 150 dollars. Why? Besides the standard fare 6.2″ display, Helio A22 chipset, and 3750mAh battery, it offers a combination of 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. No other smartphone on this list offers that combination.
It is not the most powerful, though, as the Helio A22 processor does not pack a powerful punch. But as said earlier, this is the best value for most users – they do not require a power house, but they will find the 64 GB storage very generous.
Price: ₦47,000. TECNO Camon 11 specifications.
Xiaomi REDMI 7 3GB/32G – most powerful and splash resistant
The Redmi 7 is one of the most powerful smartphones on this list. And the Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 processor is responsible for that power. Along with that is 3GB of RAM and 32GB storage.
Battery capacity is, 4000mAh. The Redmi 7 runs Android 9.0 (Pie) with Xiaomi’s custom user interface, MIUI 9. Lastly, it is also splash-resistant. Don’t go swimming with it, but you will feel comfortable knowing that you can respond quickly to a message under the rain.
PS: This is Redmi 7, not Redmi Note 7. They are two different devices.
Price: ₦47,500. Redmi 7 specifications.
