Have you been searching for the best phones under 50000 naira (equivalent to US $100)? Look no more… Here are the top, affordable and best mobile phones below ₦50,000 in Nigeria updated this year.
I get loads of emails and messages where readers of Naijaknowhow seek expert advice on choosing the best phones between N40,000 to N50,000 naira in Nigeria. In response to this, I want to help myself cut the loads of answers I dish out each time a person asks for my help. So I was motivated to write this helpful and evergreen article on the best phones you can buy below 50k price range in Nigeria.
These are the best phones available in the Nigerian mobile market and they are carefully handpicked by me. Looking at the rate at which the prices of smartphones are scaling up in the mobile market, you will agree with me that finding a phone with the latest specs and features is difficult if you consider your budget.
That said, there are certain things you need to consider when buying a new phone in Nigeria, aside from big batteries that can last you the whole day, another thing to strongly consider is the cost of the phone you will be buying.
In one of my earlier articles, I shared a full long list of the cheapest Android phones in Nigeria, I think you should have a peek at it when you’re done reading this article.

How much itel p37 pro price in Nigeria now ?
It shouldn’t be more than 45k but it’s currently unavailable for purchase on online shopping sites such as Konga and Jumia. You’ll only find the P37 instead which is about 41k as listed in this article. You can however try your luck in offline shopping stores.
is the redmi 9A stilll at that pri7ce now or its reduced? because on jumia im seeing it for 70k
It’s available at that price on Jumia Global (items shipped from abroad). If you’re buying from a Nigerian vendor on Jumia, then you’ll have to pay more (approx. N58k not 70k). Click the shop button below the Redmi 9A phone to shop, it has been filtered to show all the best prices.
Comment:The Vivo Y1s is also a good option

It’s not known in Nigeria.
How come Tecno Pouvoir ” isn’t on this list? That’s like the best iin my opinion
Updated. Thanks for the comment.
I like the mention of Tecno, especially the L9 plus. uts battery life is a major attraction
The Gionee S11 Lite is legitimately the best phone ever created. No hard feelings. The phone just dey burst brain. This Youtube video https://youtu.be/gX-ohvgHWj8 make brain.
I really like anything LG. The name speaks Quality. But, then, if I were to go for any phone brand among the ones you mentioned, I’ll go Infinix products.
The Redmi 5 is value for money. I strongly recommend it from personal experience. Battery life is fantastic, picture quality good and durable.
Mehn. This is a long list and it’s worthy the time spent reading it. That elephone make sense. Buh the battery isn’t encouraging.
Thanks for sharing bro.

Have you or anyone you know used three phones or did you just do a Google search and cook this up?
First I’m lost with the question. Are you trying to say have I used three or these phones? If you meant the latter, then yes, I have folks who have used all phones mentioned above. My reviews are not generically generated. This post a list of the best phones below 50k price in Nigeria. If you want reviews, Type the phone name you’re searching for on Google then include reviews to get reviews of them on SERPs.
If you have any more question, kindly share, I’d be glad to reply.
The Vivo Y1s is also meant to be in the list
