The 10 Most Expensive Smartphones in Nigeria 2025

Here on MyPhone.NG, we have written a lot of buying guides mainly targeting cheap smartphones that you can buy within certain price brackets. But here is the fact: not everyone is shopping for the cheapest phone on the market. Some people want the absolute best, whether it’s for performance, camera quality, long-term software support, or just because they can afford it. To them, the more expensive it is, the better.

As a result, premium smartphones have become just as much a status symbol as they are powerful tools. But with so many models having different storage options and price variations, figuring out which one truly ranks among the most expensive can get confusing.

That’s why this list focuses on the ten (10) most expensive smartphones that you can currently buy in Nigeria. To avoid confusion, only the base models of all phones available in Nigeria were considered. This is because 1TB of iPhone 15 Pro Max may be more expensive than the 256GB storage option on the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Does this make the 15 Pro Max more expensive than the 16 Pro Max? No, (the same storage to storage option)! Hence, only the base storage option of these phones will be considered. So if you’re looking for the priciest smartphones officially available in Nigeria right now, here’s the list of the 10 of them, starting from number 10 (less expensive) all the way to number 1 (most expensive).
