Cost.ng tracks 257 phone models across 8 brands in Nigeria, priced from 21,196 live listings checked on 14 September 2026. Every model is priced separately for each storage tier and separately for brand new against used, because those are the two things that actually move the price here and almost nobody publishes them apart.
Pick a brand below, or read on for what the numbers look like when you put all eight side by side.
Every brand we price
| Brand | Models priced | Listings checked | Price range | Used share |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Samsung Galaxy | 73 | 1,512 | ₦60k to ₦2.22m | 41% |
| Xiaomi and Redmi | 45 | 526 | ₦80k to ₦1.96m | 45% |
| Apple iPhone | 43 | 17,920 | ₦35k to ₦2.28m | 72% |
| Infinix | 24 | 294 | ₦50k to ₦586k | 49% |
| Tecno | 22 | 267 | ₦68k to ₦1.3m | 43% |
| Google Pixel | 22 | 451 | ₦140k to ₦2.58m | 32% |
| Oppo | 18 | 140 | ₦73k to ₦2.37m | 66% |
| itel | 10 | 86 | ₦83k to ₦229k | 40% |
What the whole market looks like at once
Publishing every brand on one method makes comparisons possible that a single brand page cannot support. Three of them are worth knowing before you spend money.
1. Used share is the fastest way to read a brand
Apple iPhone is the most resale-heavy brand we track: 72% of its Nigerian listings are used. Google Pixel is the least, at 32%. That single number tells you what kind of purchase you are making. A resale-heavy brand means the price you pay is set by the condition of the specific handset in front of you, and you need the checklist. A new-heavy brand means you are buying a warranty and a known quantity, and the negotiation is narrower.
2. At every budget, the brands disagree about what you get
| Budget | Models here | Most RAM for the money | RAM | Newest hardware here | Released |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under ₦80k | 10 | Infinix Note 11 Pro | 8GB | Tecno Pop 7 Pro | 2023 |
| ₦80k to ₦160k | 63 | Tecno Spark 20 Pro | 12GB | itel City 200 | 2026 |
| ₦160k to ₦300k | 79 | Tecno Camon 40 | 12GB | Infinix Hot 70 | 2026 |
| ₦300k to ₦600k | 46 | Infinix Note 60 Pro | 12GB | Infinix Note 60 Pro | 2026 |
| ₦600k to ₦1.2m | 43 | Poco F7 Ultra | 16GB | Samsung Galaxy S26 | 2026 |
| Above ₦1.2m | 15 | 17 Ultra | 16GB | 17 Ultra | 2026 |
The two columns rarely name the same phone, and that is the whole point. Buying the most RAM and buying the newest hardware are different decisions at the same price, and the brand that wins one usually loses the other.
3. The cheapest and most expensive phone in each range
| Brand | Cheapest model | Price | Most expensive model | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Samsung Galaxy | Samsung Galaxy A03 | ₦60,000 | Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 | ₦2,220,000 |
| Xiaomi and Redmi | Redmi 10C | ₦80,000 | 17 Ultra | ₦1,960,000 |
| Apple iPhone | iPhone 6 | ₦35,000 | iPhone 17 Pro Max | ₦2,280,000 |
| Infinix | Infinix Smart 6 | ₦50,000 | Infinix Note 60 Pro | ₦586,000 |
| Tecno | Tecno Pop 7 Pro | ₦68,000 | Tecno Phantom V Fold | ₦1,305,000 |
| Google Pixel | Pixel 4a | ₦140,000 | Pixel 11 Pro Fold | ₦2,580,000 |
| Oppo | Oppo A15s | ₦73,000 | Oppo Find X9 Ultra | ₦2,374,000 |
| itel | itel A80 | ₦83,000 | itel S23 | ₦229,000 |
How we arrive at these numbers
Every price on this site comes from active retail listings, read on the same day and filtered the same way for every brand. We remove locked units, bulk and wholesale offers, listings with no stated condition, duplicate postings from the same seller, and prices sitting more than 40%% from the market median. We publish a range only where at least four comparable offers with at least three distinct prices survive that filter, which is why some models you have heard of are missing: there is not enough real supply in Nigeria to price them honestly. The full method is on the pricing methodology page.
Before you buy anything, five guides cover the parts a price cannot: what used really means, how to spot a fake, where to buy safely, how swap pricing works, and why prices move with the naira.
Frequently asked questions
How many phone prices does cost.ng track?
257 models across 8 brands, from 21,196 live listings verified on 14 September 2026. Each model is priced per storage tier and separately for brand new and used.
What is the cheapest phone in Nigeria right now?
Of everything we price, the iPhone 6 at a typical ₦35,000. Below that you are into models with no real market, where the price is whatever the seller in front of you decides.
What is the most expensive phone in Nigeria right now?
The Pixel 11 Pro Fold at a typical ₦2,580,000. Verified 14 September 2026.
Which phone brand holds its value best in Nigeria?
Apple, by a wide margin, which is why so much of the iPhone market here is resale rather than new. The trade is that at any given price an iPhone is usually older hardware than the Android alternative. Every model page on this site shows you the rival models at the same money so you can price that trade yourself.
How often are these prices updated?
Every figure on the site carries the date it was verified, and the current pass is 14 September 2026. Nigerian phone prices move with the naira rather than on a fixed schedule, so we re-verify rather than estimate between passes.
