Most phones listed above are available on any e-commerce platform like Masoko, Jumia, or Kilimall. You can also find them at any reputable local dealer around you.
Let me hear your views, which if these android phones would you go for?
Based on my preference, I’d go for HOTWAV V20. I love big RAM phones, and it comes with a 3GB. I can trade-off the small battery capacity for the RAM.
