EDITOR’S CONCLUSION OF THIS CATEGORY : As we can see , this category is dominated by devices with 2GB RAM and 16GB/32GB storage. My favourite here is the Camon C9 a big , well built smartphone with good specs and a lot of attraction.

Infinix Note 3 also makes sense , but i don’t see it as an  improvement on the Note 2.

My best bargain device is the TECNO L8 PLUS  , mainly because of its HUGE battery and the fact that you can get it for less than #40,000.

Overall , i think it’s a good list , and these are some of the best android phones in nigeria you can get with that budget.

• Jumia Nigeria – Samsung Galaxy A3 2016 – View Price

EDITOR’S CONCLUSION OF THIS CATEGORY : A lot of phones in this category comes with 3GB RAM and more , which somehow justifies their hefty price tag. My top choice is the Gionee M5 Plus , which i think is the definition of a perfect smartphone ; Good specs with large battery.

Infinix Zero 3 also makes a lot of sense and is one of the best android phones in nigeria you can actually get with #60,000.

The most overrated device in this category is the Samsung Galaxy A3 2016. It sells for about #95,000 and the specs are pretty average ; more like a mid-range device.

Overall , its a decent list and i’m sure that out of the 8 listed above , there is one that surely caught your fantasy.

EDITOR’S CONCLUSION OF THIS CATEGORY :  As we can see , a lot of smartphones in this category are high end flagship devices with the best specs you can get. My favourite choice goes to the Galaxy S7 edge ; a good looking device with an incredibly fast processor. The camera is also one of the best in the market.

If you need a lot of power , the Huawei Mate 8 should be top of your list. The 4000mAh battery can last for up to 24hours of heavy usage.

I’m sure that you noticed  i omitted the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. Well , that is because the device is currently going through a rough path.

A lot of people have when using the device , and samsung had no other option than to recall it from the market.

That said , i believe these are the best android phones in nigeria you can get with a budget of above hundred thousand naira.
