Top 10 Phones Under ₦300k ($190)

Hello and welcome back to the blog. Today we’re jumping into something many of you have been waiting for—the top 10 phones under ₦300k ($190) that you can get in Nigeria. Yes, you heard that right.

If you’ve got a budget between ₦200,000 and ₦300,000 and you’re hunting for a brand-new phone—not UK-used, not refurbished, but something straight out of the box—then this post is for you.

For this price range, you’re no longer stuck with entry-level devices. You can actually start getting decent processors, AMOLED displays, 5G support, and even 108MP cameras. Shocking, I know.

So let’s stop wasting time and jump into the top 10 phones you can buy today within this price bracket.

10. Vivo Y28

SoC: MediaTek Helio G85
OS: Android 14, Funtouch 14
Display: 6.68″ HD IPS-LCD 90HZ Camera: 50+2MP
Selfie: 8MP
Video: 1080p@30fps
Battery: 6,000mAh, 44W
Side mounted fingerprint sensor
AnTuTu: Around 250k
Price: 8/128GB (#244,800)

Let’s not sugarcoat it—this phone is not for power users. The Helio G85 processor is dated, and a 720p screen in 2025 feels like a joke. Yes, it has a massive battery and fast charging, but for this price, you can do better.

9. HMD Pulse Pro

SoC: Unisoc Tiger T606
OS: Android 14 (stock)
Display: 6.65″ FHD+ IPS-LCD 90HZ
Camera: 50+2MP
Selfie: 50MP
Video:1080p@30fps
Battery: 5,000mAh, 20W
Side-mounted fingerprint sensor
AnTuTu: Around 250k
Price: 8/256GB (#250,800)

This one’s surprisingly good for an HMD/Nokia phone. A 1080p screen, decent RAM, and an eyebrow-raising 50MP selfie cam. Might not be a gaming beast, but it’s great for social media and general use.

8. Realme C75

SoC: MediaTek Helio G92 Max
OS: Android 14, Realme Ul 5.0
Display: 6.72″ FHD IPS-LCD 90HZ
Camera: 50MP
Selfie: 8MP
Video:1080p@30fps
Battery: 6,000mAh, 45W
Side-mounted fingerprint sensor
AnTuTu:Around 260k
Price: 8/256GB (#234,000-245,000)

Solid middle-of-the-pack device. Realme keeps things simple but efficient here. It won’t blow you away, but it won’t disappoint either—a good all-rounder.

7. Samsung Galaxy A24

SoC: MediaTek Helio G99
OS: Android 13, One Ul 6 (+4 years)
Display: 6.5″ FHD+ S.AMOLED 90HZ
Camera: 50+5+2MP
Selfie: 13MP
Video: 1080p@30fps
Battery: 5,000mAh, 25W
Side-mounted fingerprint sensor
Price: 4/128GB (#240,000)

Old but gold. Launched in 2023, this phone still holds up well. The Super AMOLED screen is Samsung-quality, and the G99 chipset still punches hard in 2025.

6. Infinix Hot 40 4G

SoC: MediaTek Helio G100
OS: Android 15, XOS 14.5
Display: 6.78″ FHD+ IPS-LCD 90HZ
Camera: 50MP
Selfie: 8MP
Video: 2K@30fps
Battery: 5,000mAh, 18W
Side-mounted fingerprint sensor
Price: 8/128GB (#210,000)

Basic Infinix stuff. Good battery, decent camera, okay-ish processor. If you want something that just works without stress, this is a solid option.

5. Oppo A3 5G

SoC: MediaTek Dimensity 6300
OS: Android 14, Color OS 14
Display: 6.67″ HD+ IPS-LCD 60HZ
Camera: 50MP
Selfie: 5MP
Video: 1080p@30fps
Battery: 5,100mAh, 45W
Side-mounted fingerprint sensor
AnTuTu: Around 400-440k
Price: 6/128GB (#247,500)

The only 5G phone on the list—but at a cost. It sacrifices display quality for network speed. If 5G is your priority, then this might be the only logical option at this price.

4. Infinix Hot 40 Pro Plus

SoC: MediaTek Helio G100
OS: Android 14, XOS 14.5(+1 year)
Display: 6.78″ FHD+ AMOLED 120HZ
Camera: 50+2MP+QVGA
Selfie: 13MP
Video: 2K@30fps
Battery: 5,000mAh, 33W
Under-display fingerprint sensor
Price: 8/256GB (#277,300)

This is where things start to get juicy. AMOLED? Check. G99? Check. 120Hz refresh rate? Double-check. It’s giving us a lot of features for the price.

3. Tecno Camon 40 4G

SoC: MediaTek Helio G100
OS: Android 15, HiOS 15(+3 years)
Display:6.78″ FHD+ AMOLED 120HZ Camera: 50+8MP
Selfie: 32MP
Video: 2K@30fps
Battery: 5,200mAh, 45W
Under-display fingerprint sensor
Price: 8/128GB (#284,000)

Another camera-centric phone from Tecno. That 32MP selfie camera is built for content creators and selfie lovers. Plus, it has one of the largest batteries in this price class.

2. Spark 30 Pro

SoC: MediaTek Helio G100
OS: Android 14, HioS 14
Display: 6.78″ FHD+ AMOLED 120HZ
Camera: 108MP
Selfie: 13MP
Video: 2K@30fps
Battery: 5,000mAh, 33W
Under display fingerprint sensor
Price: 8/128GB (#231,100)

Who would’ve thought a Spark series phone would pack a 108MP camera? Wild times. Paired with an AMOLED display and the G99, it’s a surprisingly capable device.

1. Redmi Note 13 4G

SoC: MediaTek Helio G99
OS: Android 14, HyperoS (+4 years)
Display: 6.67″ FHD+ AMOLED 120HZ
Camera: 108+2+2MP
Selfie: 20MP
Video: 1080@60fps
Battery: 5,500mAh, 33W
Under-display fingerprint sensor
Price: 8/128GB (#249k), 8/256GB(#269k)

The undisputed top pick. Everything here is balanced: performance, display, cameras, and battery. If you can find this under ₦300K, just buy it. Don’t ask questions.

Honourable Mention: Itel P55 5G

SoC: MediaTek Dimensity 6080
OS: Android 13, Itel OS 13
Display: 6.6″ 720p IPS-LCD, 90Hz
Camera: 50MP
Selfie: 8MP
Video: 2K@30fps
Battery: 5,000mAh, 18W
Under display fingerprint sensor
Price: 6/128GB (#125,000)

If you’re chasing 5G and you’re on a tighter budget than even Oppo allows, this underrated Itel device could surprise you.

Final Thoughts

So these are the Top 10 Phones Under ₦300k ($190). The smartphone space in Nigeria has evolved dramatically. Where ₦300,000 used to get you flagships, you are now stuck with boring and underpowered devices. At least these days they come with AMOLED displays, 108MP cameras, and 45W charging.

Just remember: not every “big camera” is a good camera, and not every “90Hz/120Hz” means smooth performance. Know what you want, know your use case, and buy wisely.
