Verdict
The thing is that the device is not available for users in Nigeria, if you desire to have the device you have to pre-order it, and also one thing I didn’t find interesting is that Google Play Store might not come pre installed which means you have to do the installation yourself and also you cannot dismiss notifications from the lock screen of the smartphone.
