HUAWEI

Today, Huawei is one of the most respected and most powerful phone brands in the world and that has hugely impacted their presence in the Nigerian mobile market positively. Their impressively built phones, especially the Y series, with a lot of powerful features as well as the long lasting battery life are what endeared them to many Nigerians.

XIAOMI

This Chinese mobile manufacturer based in Beijing, China is one of the newest entrants into the Nigerian mobile market having been founded in April 2010.

NOKIA

Before the advent of smartphones, Nokia has been connecting people through their excellent feature phones of the past. In the years past, this brand was the most popular in Nigeria and it dominated the mobile market in the country effortlessly due to its wide acceptance by the Nigerian populace.

But in recent times, this Finnish Company, having been through some pretty difficult periods since the advent of android phones, has seen their period of dominance ended but notwithstanding, they have made a very good comeback with some pretty good phones in market and Nigerians are warming up to Nokia again.

iTEL

iTel is another phone brand owned by the Chinese company Transsion Holdings, the parent company of Tecno and Infinix. This brand is very popular in the Nigerian market but due to the stiff competition from other very well established mobile phone companies, it may not come as a surprise is many people are not familiar with iTel products.
