As you already know; Nigeria is currently the country with the highest patronage and sales of Smartphones in the world. I will say this is as a result of our love for quality, good and sophisticated communication gadgets. Nigerians like very powerful phones and are ready to spend their last kobo on any phone that they believe has more function than the one in use.
Irrespective of the high cost of living, people still spend so much purchasing Smartphones. A lot of people have more than one phone, either because they are using other SIM cards or because they want to have a backup or call it standby phone, should anything go wrong with the one being used.
Some even buy different types of phones for different occasion, as funny as this may appear but, that is a reality. Some people show and display their class with the kind of phone they go about with. So, if there is a new brand of Smartphone in the Nigerian market today, so many ‘big girls’ would abandon their still new and strong phone for the new brand.
Don’t think that it’s only the ladies that are crazy about new brands of Smartphones; the men too are not left out. We have so many of them that don’t fail to buy any new brand of phone, even if it is less stronger than the one they already have, so long as it’s a new brand, they make sure they are counted amongst the users.
Some CEOs are not left out; they believe so much in the kind of phones they go about with, in fact, the kind of Smartphone some of them use is what most people describe them with. Their phones determine what their pocket-ability is like. Below is the various types of Smartphones with their corresponding prices as at early 2016.
