Given the recent advancements in the country concerning 5G as covered in this article, we decided to make a list of the cheapest 5G phones in Nigeria. All the devices in the list below are budget devices with the latest technology and do not require one breaking the bank in order to afford any of them.
You may ask, “What is 5G all about?” It is the new and fifth generation of the cellular network. Shockingly, there are still a lot of misconceptions about what 5G is and how it affects users. One major benefit of 5G that the telecommunication world is interested in is latency, when related to telecommunication networks this is simply the time taken for data to get from its originating point to its target point.
With every generation of cellular network, this “time” (latency) is reduced, hence making the network faster. This explanation is the reason 2G networks are slower than 3G, which is, in turn, slower than 4G. So, with the new 5G enabled devices browsing speeds are greatly increased, downloading time reduced and so much more. To put this into figures for better understanding, the highest speed or latency achieved by any 4G network clocks at 50MBps (on the 4G LTE-A) while one of the lowest speeds attained by 5G is 50MBps. You can say that 4G’s highest speeds are just the starting point for 5G devices.
If you want high download and upload speeds on your mobile device, you should consider getting a 5G device now that the deployment of the technology in Nigeria is around the corner. Because new technology appears on the most expensive devices first, many of those looking to enjoy an early taste of 5G when it launches in the country will be on the lookout for the most affordable models – the cheapest 5G phones in Nigeria. Which is why we are here – to help you identify them.

5G phones in Nigeria below 100k (₦100,000)
Are there any 5G phones in Nigeria below ₦100,000? Unfortunately, that is a tough price to find. There are several articles floating around the Web, listing Infinix Zero 5G, Redmi Note 10 5G, Poco M3 Pro, and Realme 8 5G as selling for below ₦100,000. Nothing could be further from the truth. Those 5G phones all cost above ₦100,000, sometimes, above ₦150,000. We guess someone published the original article and others simply reproduced without fact-checking.
We found one listing of Redmi Note 10 5G on Jiji for N99,000. Every other brand new listing of the same model goes for 125,000 and above, so if you do take a look, have a hard look at the product before buying it. It may be used or refurbished and not brand new. As at August 2022, there are no 5G phones in Nigeria below 100k yet. We are hopeful that we will see 5G smartphones in that price range soon, though.
