1. Nokia 9
This year Nokia made a long-awaited comeback, and the wait was certainly worth it: each new smartphone announced by Nokia in 2017 has been a true work of art. The Nokia 9 has been the most anticipated one, as Nokia 9 specs in Nigeria made everyone excited for the new model.
The Nokia 9 features include a 5.5-inch screen, IP68 waterproof capabilities, an octa-core processor, 4GB of RAM, 64/128GB of internal storage, 13MP primary camera with dual LED flash and 5MP front camera with LED flash. The Nokia 9 release date is scheduled sometime in late January, and the Nokia 9 price in Nigeria is definitely going to be on the higher end: some reports suggest the phone will retail for as much as ₦275,000.
2. Ulefone Armor 2
One of the most exciting trends in this year’s smartphone segment was the growing popularity of rugged phones in Nigeria. There has been a dozen of models announced, but buyers are especially looking forward to the Ulefone Armor 2, the beautifully designed and generously equipped flagship model.
The three most attractive features about this phone are the waterproof, dustproof, and shock proof capabilities. Other than that, the Ulefone Armor 2 has rather outstanding specs: there is a 5.0-inch display, an octa-core processor, 6GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage, 16MP and 13MP cameras, and a 4700mAh battery. You can get your Armor 2 for about ₦95,000.
3. Gionee M7
That’s right – Nigeria’s favourite smartphone brand is launching yet another hit model. The Gionee M7 is an upper-range model with matching specs and price. The Gionee M7 specification includes a 6.0-inch display, an octa-core processor with 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, 13MP and 8MP cameras, and a 5000mAh battery with the fast charging technology.
It’s clear that the most attractive one out of the Gionee M7 features is its huge battery capacity: every Gionee M7 review we’ve seen so far praises the phone’s outstanding battery life. The Gionee M7 price in Nigeria starts at ₦150,000.
4. Samsung Galaxy S9
The world was still getting used to the stunning Samsung flagship, the Galaxy S8, released earlier this year, when the company announced the next model in the lineup – the Galaxy S9. According to the first leaks, there won’t be too many design changes, but the Samsung Galaxy S9 will be available in two versions – there is also going to be the S9 Plus.
Like its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S9 isn’t going to be cheap: currently the price for the new phone is projected to start at ₦290,000. You can look forward to the Galaxy S9 release in February or March.
5. Huawei Mate 10
This year Huawei has come out as the unlikely leader of the smartphone market in Nigeria with several new cutting-edge models. The Huawei Mate 10 was by far the most interesting one – many believe this phone can easily compete with the iPhone X and other high-end models.
The Huawei Mate 10 comes with a 6.0-inch display, an octa-core processor with 4GB of RAM, a whopping 256GB of built-in storage, a dual 20MP + 12MP primary camera, an 8MP front camera, and a 4000mAh battery. The price of Mate 10 will be rather high: prepare to pay ₦350,000 for your new Huawei.
