Yes but my experience with their brand wasn't cool at all. The phone malfunctions. I got two on the same day. One for myself and one for my daughter but omo, we had to sell them off barely 2 months after purchase. I will never advice anyone to buy their phones for now. Except they have improved on their phones

Maybe you bought a cloned product... This brand has one of the best top 10 phones in the market worldwide rn. And you expect them to drop the ball... Check antutu rankings and give me your

In continuation of our previous post (https://nairaland.isosite.org/8356525/top-10-budget-smartphones-nigeria) , we already had a promise to keep but we had to wait for the new releases (as you can see some brand didn't feature ) , hopefully by year end we are going to have a full catalogue breakdown.
The main idea of a mid-range phone is to get as close as possible to a flagship while keeping the price as low as possible (basically a bang for buck kinda stratagem where you have features of flagship at a lower price in sacrifice for other stuffs). In this price bracket, smartphones offer better performance, improved cameras, faster charging, and designs compared to entry-level devices. Whether you're a gamer, content creator, or multitasker, these phones deliver excellent value.

We ranked them based on performance, camera quality, battery life, software, and overall experience, using official prices and reputable online stores.
