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.
Top 10 Phones Under ₦300K ($190)
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

- 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.
