Infinix Phones of 50,000 Naira in Nigeria (2026)
No new Infinix phone costs ₦50,000 in Nigeria any more, and Infinix makes no button phones. See the cheapest Infinix on Jumia and what 50k buys instead.
The Infinix Smart 8 is the cheapest new Infinix on Jumia Nigeria, at ₦154,999, a little over three times a 50k budget. Anything with an Infinix badge at 50k to 60k is used. Tecno at least has button phones to fill the gap below that price, while every Infinix listing on Jumia is a smartphone.
In 2019 the Infinix Hot S4, with 3GB of RAM and a 4,000mAh battery, was ₦51,500. The naira has lost most of its value against the dollar since, phones are imported, and the price tags followed.

| Infinix Smart 8 | 3GB / 64GB | ₦154,999 |
| Infinix Smart 20 | 4GB / 64GB | ₦159,799 |
| Infinix Smart 10 HD | 3GB / 64GB | ₦159,999 |
| Infinix Smart 20 HD | 3GB / 64GB | ₦165,499 |

| Infinix Smart 20 | 4GB / 128GB | ₦179,899 |
| Infinix Hot 60i | 4GB / 128GB | ₦218,000 |
| Infinix Hot 70 | 4GB / 128GB | ₦224,887 |
The Smart 8 is also the oldest phone in the table. For ₦4,800 more, the Smart 20 gives you 4GB of RAM, a 5,200mAh battery and Android 16, and that is the one to buy. A phone with 3GB of RAM will feel slow sooner. The Smart 20 is also where an Infinix with 4GB of RAM starts.
The same phone costs different amounts from different sellers, so sort by price and compare a few listings.
What ₦50,000 can buy instead
A used Infinix
A second-hand phone is the only way to an Infinix at this budget, and 50k buys an old one. Used phones are where people get burned, so check these before you hand over money:
- Dial *#06# and make sure the IMEI on the screen matches the one on the box or receipt.
- Put your own SIM in each slot and make a call. Test the speaker, the microphone and the charging port.
- Have the seller reset the phone in front of you. If it then asks for the previous owner’s Google account, walk away. You will not get past that screen.
- Look at a plain white screen and a plain black one for lines, patches or a yellow tint.
- Watch the battery while you test. If it drops several per cent in ten minutes, budget for a new battery or leave it.
- Buy from a shop that will still be there next week, and ask for a receipt.
A new phone from another brand
The only new Android device we found under ₦50,000 on Jumia was the itel it9320, at ₦38,500 to ₦45,000 depending on the seller. It has a 2.8-inch touchscreen above a keypad, 4G, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage and a 3,000mAh battery. It will feel small and slow next to a full smartphone, but it does run Android. Some sellers state that their unit is locked to Airtel, so read the listing and ask before you pay. Every brand at this budget is compared in Android phones of 50k in Nigeria.
For calls alone, a Tecno button phone costs between ₦15,000 and ₦40,000. We compared them in Tecno phones of 50k in Nigeria.
Wait and save
The gap between ₦50,000 and a new Smart 20 is about ₦110,000. If your current phone still works, saving towards a phone with 4GB of RAM will serve you far longer than spending the 50k now on something you will want to replace within a year.
