In this post, I’ll take you through a list of some good android phones that have been tested, trusted, and most affordable too.

Which Android phone is best for students?

There are some android mobile brands that are best for students in Nigeria and affordable. Some of the popular ones include Techno, Infinix, Samsung, Huawei, Itel, Nokia, Innjoo Xiaomi, and many others.

These phone brands are the market leaders in the Nigerian mobile market, however, there are other good phone makers too.

The phone starts from 48k in Nigeria right now based on your specifications.

The phone is another good member of the Tecno family and you already know that Tecno is one of the strongest Android phones in the Nigerian market. Tecno canon CM is not an exception.

The phone comes with 16 GB of internal flash storage which might not be enough for a typical student. But never mind, the smartphone was developed to support storage expansion.

  1. Nokia 4.2

Just like Samsung, Nokia is beginning to produce phones for the middle range of the mobile phone market.

These phones are not as expensive as the luxury high-end phones but they are equally functional and look quite presentable.

Nokia 4.2 is one such phone. The phone comes in black and pink sand colours that students would love.

The camera quality is not bad for its money, it has a dual-camera setup with a 13-megapixel main camera that is supported by a 2- megapixel depth sensor. The phone’s design is one of the selling points it has and it’s very beautiful and feels lovely.

However, with a battery capacity of 3,000mAh, the battery is not one of its selling points. But in general, with the price of 42,000-48,000, the phone is still good by coming from a trusted brand like Nokia.

The phone comes with an internal memory of 16GB, 2GB RAM, 32GB 3GB RAM eMMC 5.1. it also accommodates an external memory card slot.

I currently use a Redmi note 8 and the experience has been nothing short of fantastic. I think the Xiaomi Redmi means business and is ready to give another luxury a run for their money.
