Limited edition. You can't get it now. Only used ones.

noirsangre:

The topic should have been best affordable phones in Nigeria, or most used phones in Nigeria. Because someone lives in a duplex in ojota doesn't mean he doesn't like to live in a mansion in banana island. Me for example can't use any of those phones u mentioned. The only ones I can use are the xiaomi mi4 and tecno phantom 5 and they will both be used as second phone.

You're right though. But majority of Nigerians can't afford to spend upwards of 60k on phones in this current state of the economy. That is why I titled it like this. Besides these are also the best selling phones in Nigeria right now.
