Slow processors
Updated 18 Jul
Some budget phones sold in Nigeria have processors slower than a 2015 iPhone. We grade every chip on its current performance, not its launch marketing, and list the entry-tier phones here so you know exactly what you're getting into before you pay.
If you want a phone that won't feel slow in two years, look at our best-value picks — same money, far better chips.
