Phones, earphones, chargers, screen guards, batteries, and more – the economic value of phone markets in Nigeria and how much we can access in a heartbeat cannot be overstated. Looking at the statistics from DataReportal, there are 187.9 million mobile or SIM connections (January 2021). These mobile connections are spread across the four major mobile service providers in the country.

Interestingly, GSM still dominates the data market, but there is a growing shift to services based on LTE. Although LTE coverage remains relatively low, investment among operators is extending the reach of services and is helping to develop consumer use of mobile data services too. In a post-COVID world where content remains king, you cannot afford to be away from your gadgets. Either you desire a new phone, or you want an improvement, here are the top phone markets:
