About some years ago, (not all that long), only the rich could get the best phones and machines in the market. An average salary earner would have to save for months just to buy his dream phone. Now, almost everyone has a smartphone, no just any smartphone but a good one. Whether cheap or expensive, so long it serves your need.

Best Cheap Android phones 2016

Half of smartphone users in this part of the world, are Android freaks! Not by their own doing but because of the simplicity of Android phones and also because, the number of manufacturers breaking market barriers in Africa produce phones running on different versions of Android Operating System.

Who then will say 2016 didn’t turn out fine?

There you have it, our very own list of cheap Android phones. These phones are available in Africa as well as other continents, so if you were looking for an efficient and affordable Android phone, this list should help you in making a good choice.

It is worth mentioning that the phones listed above are limited in terms of efficiency, depending on the features you look out to in an Android smartphone. I’ll advise you check the specifications of the phones because there are phones with good battery capacity but have just an average camera pixel. So if you’re the kind of person that fancy camera clearly to battery life, you sure won’t enjoy the phone even though it is cheap.

Did you buy any of these Android phones when it was launched, how much did you get it?

    Omo.. these your phones still cost shaaaa… I use the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime.. it's done me well over the course of almost 2 years now, but after one too many falls, it has started operating itself. I'm looking to switch to something not too costly, below 30k

    I greet you Tomi,

    You just brought back some old memories. The Galaxy Grand Prime is pretty old sha… (it was released in 2014)

    I guess you're the kind of guy that treats his phone like his bae? (Heheh) cos 2 years is pretty long and good.

    (Tapping your shoulder) Sorry about your phone but its high time you get something cooler to complement your personality.

    If you're ready to get a new phone; not just any phone, but an awesome one, I'suggest you get my Ultimate Guide For Phone Buyers.

    Here is a teaser – it works with your demand and how much you have in your pocket (Smiles)… Here's a link to get it >> http://www.techkibay.com/p/phone-guide.html
