The overall build of the phone is quite okay but not very impressive as finger nudges can be seen on the body, the omission of means that we have to use the face unlock feature which wasn't fast enough in other words you have to opt for a password or pin. With everything in check, this is a go-to device if you're searching for the best android phones under N50000.

This is another variant of the Pop 6 series, it might not be the best among others but made it to the list due to its price option.

If you're searching for a smartphone for your basic phone needs or watching movies or buying for your little fellas this can be a go-to device. For security, the device is equipped with a fingerprint sensor at the back which can come in handy for extra security.

Vivo Y1s is not just another entry-level smartphone but one of the best android phones under N50000 you will come across. Launched in Nov 2020, the 6.22-inches IPS HD+ display with 720 x 1520 pixels resolution is a low-budget device that you'll fall in love it.

The back camera supports face detection, touch and autofocus, geotagging, digital zoom, and a lot of other cool features.

In as much as this is not a review post, there are a lot of cool specs and attributes to say about the Umidigi A7s. It garnered popularity among Nigerians due to its name. The entry-level smartphone made it to our list of the best android phones under N50000 because of its fair pricing and much to bargain for under the hood. The body build and design feels premium and the only feature left out of the phone is the notable fingerprint sensor. It comes with 6.53-inches LCD with a screen resolution of 720 x 1600 and an aspect ratio of 20:9. There is a noticeably slim bezel and a teardrop notch that houses the front-facing camera.

Umidigi A7s features and specifications include a 13MP wide primary, 8MP ultrawide, and 2MP depth sensor. The front camera is an 8MP shooter, additional there's a non-contact infrared thermometer sensor at the back. This feature came in handy for checking people's temperature without getting close to them. It's one of the features we adored in the device, as it feels premium to have such a feature on a low-budget device. Android 10 Go Edition, dual SIM support with 4G, 2GB RAM / 32GB ROM, non-removable 4150mAh battery. Comes in 3 color variants, granite grey, sky blue, and peacock green.

One thing to pinpoint is the performance is the best you would expect as it ships with a Mediatek MT6737 quad-core processor with a max clock speed of 1.25GHz and this pairs to an ARM Mali-T720-MP1 GPU. It should be able to do your everyday basic smartphone tasks except hardcore gaming or tasks that require performance.

This is a device with outstanding build quality and display, with optimistic reviews about its design and battery. The device feels premium at hand on a budget and comes in two color variants; Rich Green and Rich Gray. It uses the standard micro-USB which means there'll be no support for fast charging.  When it comes to software optimization Realme devices didn't stand out as there are few bloatware or pre-installed apps compared to what other OEMs preinstall but they can easily be uninstalled.

Under the hood, it comes with Android 10 and the Realme UI skin, dual 4G nano SIM.

In addition, the fingerprint sensor is not available on this device, users have to settle for Face Unlock for additional security. The fingerprint sensor is not a notable feature on entry-level phones. Most users complained about its lagging issue but could be resolved via software update since it has to do with software-related issues.

Tecno Spark 7T is yet another entry-level device with amazing specifications you would want to check out. Launched in June 2021, the 6.52-inches touchscreen display gets a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels.
