7 best android phones under 20,000 naira

You don’t have to pay through your nose to get an Android phone that would do the basics, and more, for you. Whether you are getting it for yourself, or someone else, here are the best android phones under 20,000 naira that you should consider buying

 

1 KIICA Power 5.0

1 KIICA Power 5.0

Already unlocked for use with any network worldwide, the KIICA Power 5.0 just manages to keep things under the #20,000 mark.

For that, the device offers a modest 2GB RAM married to an internal storage space of 16GB. It goes on to pack a CPU of MTK6580A build. It is reported that this processing unit can clock up to 1.3GHz.

On the front of the device is a 5.0-inch screen with 1280 x 720 resolution. Just above the screen is a 5MP camera. On the back of the same device is not just an 8MP camera with its LED flash but a fingerprint scanner too.

Running the Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box, the device will use up to two SIMs at once and be powered by a massive 4000mAh battery

 

2 Itel A11

2 Itel A11

Itel makes this list with its A11 offering. Above the 4-inch screen is a front-facing camera rated at 0.3MP. There is no gainsaying this won’t be a great unit for taking the best selfies, but it would get the job done.

The back is improved though, carrying as much as 2MP on the sensor. Under the hood, one will find out that a 512MB CPU is at the heart of operations. This CPU is paired with a quad-core processor that does 1.2GHz on frequency scales. Storage needs are taken care of by the 8GB internal storage memory which can be expanded as the user sees fit.

Running the Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box, a rather small 15000mAh battery keeps the juices up for this smartphone

 

3 ZTE Blade L110

The ZTE Blade L110 might not be so easy on the eyes, but it gets the job done under the hood. Speaking of under the hood, that is where we find specs such as the 512MB of RAM on 4GB of internal storage space. While users will have to make do with that RAM, space could be bumped up with an external storage media.

The device supports 3G and uses a quad-core processor (1.3Ghz) to speed up operations. What we might not like here is the fact that it has just Android 5.1 Lollipop on it. You could perhaps forget that if you are getting the phone for an entry-level user. They will even appreciate the 2MP selfie snapper and 4MP main camera units more.

Coming more onto the surface, a 4-inch display at 800 x 480-pixel resolution is there for the user. Overall, the lights are kept up by a removable 1400mAh Li-ion battery

 

4 Freetel Ice 2

4 Freetel Ice 2

Freetel has been stunning with a number of midrange and entry-level introductions, much like they have also done with the Ice 2. Simply, this is the offering that brings a 4-inch touchscreen to the table.

Under that touchscreen is an 8GB internal storage space that can be expanded as the user sees fit. A dual-core processor which can clock up to 1.2Ghz is also on board, featuring alongside 1GB RAM processing memory. Improving on that, this unit offers the user Android 7 Nougat experience out of the box.

Finally, a pairing of a 0.3MP front shooter and a 2MP back snapper completes the run for this unit. Did we mention support for dual SIM and a 1350mAh Li-ion battery?

 

5 Itel 1408

5 Itel 1408

Yet another offering from Itel, the 1408 carries the same 4 inches of screen as the last one, but with a difference. For example, this unit uses a quad-core CPU that will reach a high 1.3GHz clock speed and uses a bigger 3000mAh battery. Asides that, the specs are pretty much the same – 2MP + 0.3MP rear and front cameras, 512MB RAM + 8GB RAM and dual-SIM support. One area we feel it dialled down is on the OS, offering Lollipop 5.1 instead

 

6 5’ Ultrathin Android

6 5’ Ultrathin Android

The name of this unit already announced the size of it, but there is more than meets the eye. Starting with the Android 5.1 Lollipop preloaded, the unit carries a 3MP sensor on the back and a 0.3MP snapper on the front.

A 1400mAh battery supplies the power that keeps it running on a quad-core, 2GB RAM CPU. This CPU has an 8GB internal storage unit as its neighbour. With a capacitive touchscreen rated at 960 x 480 pixels and support for multiple languages, the unit sits well in this category

 

7 Itel 1508

7 Itel 1508

Improving on the 1408, Itel 1508 brought much-needed changes to the entry-level and lower midrange markets. This, it did by stepping up some features.

On that front, we now have 5 inches of screen under which can be found a bigger 2100mAh battery. The CPU and memory configurations didn’t change though, staying at 512MB RAM and 8GB respectively. Still carrying support for dual SIMs, we would have loved to get higher than Android 5.1 Lollipop on the device.

Anyway, users will find the 5MP rear camera and 2MP front camera combination quite fitting at this price range.

 

Those are the best android phones under 20,000 naira, and we suppose you will be eyeing one of them already. Tell us which one in the comments section

13 Ways Jumia makes Shopping Online better for Everyone

Shopping Online for a long time was a niche service available only to a few people in Nigeria, Kenya, and the rest of Africa. However, over the last couple of years online stores like Jumia have introduced a few innovations to open online shopping to just about anyone. There are no limitations anymore to shopping online in Nigeria. You do not need an address, you do not need a bank account or a debit card, you can even receive your order same day. In fact, it is even possible for an agent to place the order on your behalf, you just have to receive and pay for your order. All these innovative solutions and more have been introduced by Jumia to make online shopping available to everyone. I will share a few of them here.

Having shopped on Jumia over the last couple of years and also taking a closer look at the business, I have identified 13 ways Jumia has made shopping online possible for everyone in Nigeria. If you think you are too small or unequipped to shop online, go through this list and you will be surprised that literarily anyone can shop online at Jumia today.

1. Checks Products for Quality

Are you concerned about the quality of goods available at online stores? This is a common issue that has deterred many from trying out Shopping online. However, Jumia already has a solution in the Jumia Express. Jumia Express is a value-added service where Jumia physically inspects and warehouses goods from their third-party merchants before listing them.

Items that pass through the Jumia Express certification procedure are labelled with a Jumia Express badge. Before an item gets a Jumia Express badge, the merchant must physically send it to Jumia for physical inspection. During the physical inspection, the product is checked for quality and authenticity and are listed with the badge only if they pass.

Jumia Express Badge

This ensures that as long as you stick with items labelled Jumia Express at the store, you will greatly reduce your chances of buying fake and substandard products at the store.

2. Cost Effective Shipping

One secret of getting your orders delivered cheaply at Jumia or any online marketplace is to order all your items from the same merchant. This ensures you benefit from consolidated shipping. However, this is not usually practical as it is very rare for one merchant to have all the items you need. This means in most cases you will have to order from multiple merchants and paying different delivery costs on items ordered from each merchant, leading to high shipping cost.

However, with Jumia Express, you can order from different merchants and since all Jumia Express items are already at Jumia’s warehouse, you can also enjoy the cost savings that comes with consolidated shipping. For an idea of shipping fees from Jumia, Click Here.

3. Free Shipping in Lagos

The deal even gets sweeter if you live in Lagos. Jumia is offering free shipping in Lagos for Jumia Express products. To qualify however, you must order items worth 15,000 Naira or more. Jumia says this offer excludes heavy items, which probably means you will be able to order mobile phones as well as most fashion and beauty products and have them delivered free to your address in Lagos.

4. Faster Shipping Time

This is yet another by-product of Jumia Express. Because Jumia physically stores Jumia Express items in its warehouse, shipping is faster, which is an added bonus. From my experience of shopping at the store, I have noticed that Jumia is a lot better and faster at handling orders when compared to its merchants. By taking over handling and shipping from its Jumia Express merchants, the online store is poised to create a better customer experience.

In fact, Jumia is so confident about its ability to ship fast that it is promising next day shipping for orders from Lagos and from 2 days delivery time for items ordered from Ibadan, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and Abeokuta, and within 5 days for other other Nigerian cities. Occasionally, it is possible to get your order same day in Lagos if you order before 11am. For Jumia Shipping and Delivery times, Click Here.

5. Don’t have an Address? No Problem

Traditionally, when you order items online, you need to enter an address where the order will be delivered. In an article I wrote years back (2012), I mentioned invalid addresses as one of the challenges facing online shopping in Nigeria. It is very common for a Nigerian address to be qualified with words like opposite, adjacent, beside or for the number 1 house and number 10 house in a street to be neighbours, while number 2 is 100 metres away in the other end of the street. Of course, these are the lucky ones, millions of households still do not have any physical address, making it difficult for them to shop online.

However, Online stores in Nigeria like Jumia are now building pickup stations where customers can pick up their orders. This completely eliminates the need for a physical address when shopping online. Just pick the items you want and select the pick-up station closest to you during checkout. Your order will be delivered to the pick-up centre and you will receive a call to pick up your order.

According to information on Jumia’s website, the online stores has pick up points in Lagos, Enugu, Abia, Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Bayelsa, Benin, Cross River, Delta, Edo, Ekiti, Abuja, Imo, Kaduna, Kano, Kwara, Ogun, Ondo, Oyo, Osun, Plateu, and Rivers. To view the addresses of these pick up stations, Click Here. You will also find a Map on the site.

6. No Need for Debit Card or Bank Account, Just Pay on Delivery

According to a 2015 data from the Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System Plc, (NIBSS) there were only about 28 million bank customers in Nigeria. For a country with over 74 million registered voters as at January 2018, this leaves tens of millions without a bank account or debit card and consequently without a means of making payment online.

So, Jumia and a couple of other online stores most notably Konga introduced cash on delivery to make online shopping all inclusive. All a customer needs to do is select the items they wish to buy, enter their address or pickup point and the online store will deliver. The customer only pays when the order is delivered.

However, payment on delivery is not just about solving the problem of the unbanked or underbanked, it is also about building trust with customers. Shopping online is new; hence most people in Nigeria are still sceptical about it. Some customers do not trust the merchant will deliver the order if they pay first. So, cash on delivery is a way to get people through the door.

One problem with cash on delivery, is the cost associated with it. Some customers order products just for the fun of it without any intention of paying, leading to rejected orders and mounting delivery cost for online stores. This led Konga to halt pay on delivery late last year. However, Jumia is persisting.

So, if you do not have a debit card and think online shopping is not for you or you are just a sceptic who do not believe it is possible, just try Jumia today. Place your order, Jumia will deliver and you pay on delivery. However, not every location is qualified for payment on delivery. Locations on this list are not qualified for cash on delivery on Jumia. Click on a state to see locations within it where only prepayment is allowed.

7. Multiple Shopping Channels

Online shopping was traditionally done on computers, but with majority of Nigerians browsing on mobile, online shopping had to go mobile faster in Nigeria. Jumia has optimised its websites for different platforms and screen sizes, creating a decent shopping experience for all customers.

According to Jumia’s Nigeria Mobile Trends 2017 report, 41% of mobile traffic to Jumia website is via Opera Mini. The interesting thing about this is that a number of this traffic may not even be coming from smartphones, but from feature phones with their very limited screen real estate. An even more interesting piece of data from the report was that 63% of all orders on Jumia Nigeria were done on mobile (Mobile browser and Jumia App).

This ensures that no matter the device you have as long as you have internet access, you should be able to shop on Jumia.

8. Door to Door Delivery

Though, Jumia has a solution for people without a valid or logical address, but what if you have an address and prefer your orders delivered to your doorsteps? Jumia also has you covered. Jumia will deliver to your home if you have an address and prefer the convenience. That said, it is important to note that door to door delivery on the average costs up to 100% more compared to picking up your order at a pickup station.

So, if you value your convenience more, you can pay the premium to receive your order at home. However, if you are more cost sensitive, you can always visit your selected pickup station for your order.

9. Secure Online Payment

With state of the art 256-bit encryption, Jumia offers same level of security as any other world class online store. During Checkout, you can make fast and secure payment using your ATM / debit card. The online store has also launched an e-wallet called JumiaPay. With JumiaPay, you can connect your cards and bank accounts to the e-wallet for fast and convenient payment. You can even cancel your order paid for with JumiaPay and get full refund if your order was not satisfactory.

10. Order Products not available Locally

Are you planning to travel abroad to shop for items that you believe are not available in Nigeria? I advise you try Jumia first. In 2017, Jumia launched a service called Jumia Global that enables you buy products from overseas merchants.

It is similar to the relationship Jumia has with merchants in Nigeria, except that this time the merchants are based abroad, and they sell items that are not readily available in Nigeria. Prices of the items on Jumia Global includes the import duties, so you don’t have to worry about any additional cost when your order lands. If you are looking for Amazon devices or Google devices like the Chromecast, you will probably find them on Jumia via Jumia Global merchants.

Usually it takes weeks and sometimes monthly for global brands like Samsung and Apple to launch their products in Nigeria. These products are often available on Jumia via their Jumia Global merchants before the launch. For example, it is very likely that the recently launched Samsung Galaxy S9 will be offered by Jumia Global merchants before its official launch in Nigeria. Also, mobile brands like OnePlus, Leagoo, Xiaomi, and lots of other value-for-money brands can mostly be bought via Jumia Global.

However, it is important to note that items bought via Jumia Global merchants are not covered by warranty. In addition, these products because the manufacturer usually do not have presence in Nigeria, replacement parts are not ready available, which means you may have to order parts from sites like ebay or AliExpress if you run into any problem that is assuming you can find a technician who can repair it.

Another hitch with Jumia Global, is the time it takes to receive your order. The merchants are sending the products from abroad, so it takes a lot longer than the usual 3 to 6 days of orders from merchants in Nigeria. It could take between 3 weeks and 8 weeks to receive your order via Jumia Global.

That said, Jumia Global is a very important and thoughtful service. Not a lot of us can afford to go abroad for shopping, but with Jumia Global we can order items from gadgets to fashion from overseas using just our mobile phones or computers. You can identify Jumia Global products by their badge. Before buying from a Jumia Global merchant check the reviews of the product on the product page as well as the seller rating of the merchant.

11. Amazing Prices and Deals

Prices of items on Jumia are some of the lowest in Nigeria. They compete favourably with prices from brick n mortar stores and sometime even lower. Jumia also offer regular promos and deals in partnership with some of the biggest brands in Nigeria. One that comes to mind is the Jumia Mobile Week, which is a weeklong event where you can find the best deals and prices for mobile devices with leading mobile brands in Nigeria like Infinix, Tecno, and Samsung featuring prominently. Jumia Mobile Week has consistently remained the biggest mobile sales event in Nigeria in the last couple of years and this year’s edition will hold from March 19 to March 25.

Another big one is the Jumia Black Friday, which holds November with deals stretching from mobile phones, laptops, and appliances, to fashion, beauty, and style. Other promos that Jumia hold during the cause of the year includes the TV Blast (for TVs) and the Payday deals (towards month end). During this deals and promos consumers can enjoy discounts and coupons, which is why they resonate well with Nigerian Shoppers.

12. Relax, an Agent can place your Order

With Jumia, you do not even need to place your order yourself. Perhaps you do not have a smartphone, or you do not have data, or you simply do not trust in your ability to place your order, or you are just too lazy to put in the effort, Jumia has a system where a friend or an agent can help you order for an item.

The Jumia JForce is a team of independent contractors who are trained by Jumia. After their training they market products to people who they then help order online. The beauty is that the buyer does not need to pay the JForce agent as they are paid by Jumia from the monthly sales they bring in.

With JForce even an illiterate can shop online and in a country with 60% of its population said to be illiterate, this is a really big deal. The agent orders the product using pay on delivery, that way sensitive banking information of the merchant are never in the possession of the agent. The buyer receives the item and pays.

13. Free Data Access from MTN

If you are an MTN subscriber, you can access Jumia free via the mobile app. This means you do not have to worry about data consumption when accessing the Jumia Mobile app on your MTN line. Note however, that you need a valid data bundle for this to work, the only thing is that accessing Jumia Mobile app will not take away from your data.

As you can see, Jumia has virtually every angle covered. The online store is more or less a comprehensive online shopping solution for everyone. Any challenge that you currently think you have with shopping online, Jumia probably already have a solution for it. If you are concerned about your safety when you shop at Jumia, you should read my article: 5 ways Jumia makes online shopping safer.

In fact, the only thing that remains is for Jumia to actually give you money to shop or for you to shop on credit, and some day when we figure out the identity management crisis that has become a bottleneck to consumer credit financing in Nigeria, we will all shop without having any money with our credit cards. Do you have more recommendations of what online stores like Jumia can do to improve your shopping experience? I will like to hear from you.

SikurPhone Specs and Price

One of the strange smartphones to debut in this year’s MWC event is the SikurPhone. Sikur was responsible for the GranitePhone years ago, the Brazilian company is back with the successor and it’s still all about security. Now, the smartphone is targeted at those interested in safeguarding their cryptocurrency on their mobile phones without the fear of hackers getting to it. The smartphone is all encrypted with minimal features and not much of an hardware. It also comes with Sikur’s own cryptocurrency wallet, that makes it easier to store and check your balance from time to time.

SikurPhone Key Specs and Features 5.0-inch, IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen, 1920 X 1080 pixels Octa-core MediaTek MT6750 CPU with 4GB RAM 64GB built-in storage, up to 256GB with a memory card 13MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera Built-in cryptocurrency wallet Fingerprint sensor (rear) 2, 800mAh non removable Li-ion battery

SikurPhone SikurPhone

Design and Display

The SikurPhone is not much of the fancy phone as it doesn’t come with the trending 18:9 aspect ratio. The bezels are not as reduced as in recent smartphones and neither are they heavy. However, it has a metallic design which gives it that premium feel. But have it in mind that this smartphone centered on security rather than any other thing.

Moving on to the display, you are left with a Full HD (1930 X 1080 pixels) LCD panel. All this are somewhere in the mid-range region still, despite the price tag which is one of the smartphone’s setback. Sporting the 16:8 aspect ratio it comes with an average 5.5-inch display.

Battery and Camera

This is not the type of phone to play games with or take pictures and neither is it one you have a long on-screen time with. That being said, the SikurPhone had only 2, 800mAh battery capacity which is about enough for a day of usage.

Being as it is, the smartphone is not one you go about snapping pictures with as it is more like a cryptocurrency vault. However, you will still find a 13MP rear camera on it and a 5MP snapper up front.

Hardware and Software

Also, the hardware found here is not something that would wow you as it haves only a mid-range offering from MediaTek. Nevertheless, it is enough for handling the daily tasks on the smartphone. In this regard, the SikurPhone is equipped with an Octa-core MediaTek MT6750 chipset.

Going further, the smartphone features a 4GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage. Unlike your normal smartphones, security had been taken to another level with heavy modification made to the Android 7.0 pre-installed on it. The smartphone has also been vetted by HackerOne (bug bounty company) where it was sent for two months and found to be unhackable. Also, you would not have access to Google playstore has every app is downloaded from Sikur’s own store where it will be cross examined and modified. Standalone apps like Facebook, Instagram and others are also not allowed but you could access them through the smartphone’s browser via a secure connection.

Pricing and Availability

The smartphone is available for pre-order on Sikur’s website and would not be on sale until August thus year. The slated price is about $799 which equals to 288, 000 naira approximately.

How to Start a Subscription Video on Demand Service like Netflix

Ever since the inception of subscription based Video on Demand services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video etc., the dominance of cable companies has subsided. People are receptive to subscription based video streaming services and the positive reciprocation can be attributed to various benefits such as:

The user gets to choose what to watch The user gets to choose when to watch The user gets to choose the screen / device in which he / she can watch

Moreover, many popular subscription VOD services offer refreshing content pertaining to various categories such as Comedy, Documentaries, Movies, Series, Standup comedies, Feature Films, Cartoons etc. No doubt, video streaming websites like YouTube are awesome for users. But as a publisher, do you have control over your content? Can you monetize your video content to its full potential? Probably not.

For publishers and media agencies, YouTube isn’t the ideal platform. That said, building VOD sites like Netflix is a herculean task. Or is that so?
