  The question is,can you really get a phone in Nigeria,with latest Android 7.0 for less than 20000 naira? Yes. Yes is the answer. Sure,it wouldn't have the greatest specs,the latest processors or the best battery life,but if you need a phone for a 7 year old who pesters you a lot,these will fit in just fine. In no particular order,here are some smartphones costing at least 20000 naira in Nigeria(links lead to Jumia Nigeria) 1. Innjoo X3 This budget smartphone runs Android 5.0 Lollipop and it has just a 4-inch screen at 800 x 400 px resolution.

Curved screens are no longer new. Samsung has been doing them for a while now,and others have joined with 2.5D glass. Even the iPhone 7 has a curved screen. But,the question is why? See also: Galaxy S8 Review ! 1. They improve immersion This is the biggest argument made in favour of curving phone and TV screens. The idea is that by curving the image slightly forward, the world you’re watching seems to ‘wrap around’ you more, entering slightly more into your peripheral vision and thus drawing you deeper into the world you’re watching. Imagine watching a 3D movie on a flat screen. It wouldn't really do justice to it,no matter how high quality the screen is. 2. They just look cool It's really cool to press(and recently write) on screens that just don't follow the pattern of being flat. It really is. 3. They enhance contrast This is an interesting one. The argument goes that curved screens focus the light coming from the screen more directly at your eyes – in mu...

Many of us(I think all of us)nowadays use smartphones. But there is a problem. The lifespan. Some of us who can spare lots of Clement Isiongs and Alhaji Aliyu Mai Bornus tend to buy a phone and change it within the space of a year. Some decide to use theirs for 2 years,and some can go on using one for as long as 3-4 years(my sister still has an iPhone 5s,I wonder when change would come). The truth of the matter is that as no phone is perfect,they tend to fall apart with constant use. The battery gets weaker,some pixels die in the screen,the processor speeds reduce,and etc,etc. So,here's how to prolong the lives of your smartphones. 1. NEVER charge it overnight I know that a smartphone is capable of switching its power source to the incoming current when its battery is full,but this is no reason why you should leave it overnight. If your phone is dead and you need power the next day,and you can't wait,charge your power bank instead. Most of us have one thanks to...

Most manufacturers nowadays push out devices with special methods of fast charging. OnePlus is on top of this food chain,charging a dead battery to 70% in just 30 minutes. That's called Dash Charge.™ Samsung implements Qualcomm Quick Charge,Oppo uses VOOC,Huawei uses Super Charge,and so on. The problem with most of these is efficiency. If you bought a phone from any of the above named manufacturers and it came with that type of feature,you'd want it to last forever. But it won't. So here are some reasons why your phone which formerly used to charge quickly now moves along at a snail's pace: 1. Your USB Cable is bad For those of us still using Micro USB,you'd notice that on the end of the cable which you plug into your phone,there are two things like hooks. If these things bend,your phone is likely to charge slower. This is because those things are put there to hold the phone in a specific position that allows current to pass through quickly. If those things flat...
