If you have read my post here on Nairaland long enough, you will know that I mostly write about Tecno, Infinix, and Itel phones. These phones are cheap and come with a handful of valuable features. At least, the poor can breathe knowing that they can still use smartphones with little money.

But, the[b] BEST CHEAPEST BUDGET ANDROID PHONE[/b] is not from any of the brands mentioned above. If you are limited by your budget and you want to buy a presentable Android phone, the Redmi 12c is your best bet.

In this post, I will mention 3 reasons why the Redmi 12c is better than other phones within its price range. In order to be unbiased, I will also consider 3 more reasons why you might have issues with this phone.

The Good Side

1. The price. Redmi 12 is around 59,000 Naira. There are 5 variants of this phone with different storage space. The price depends on the variant you want to buy. The point here is that to get an Android phone of 59k these days is very hard. Usually, it means that the phone will be very laggy and frustrating to operate. Is the Redmi 12c laggy? Let's see.

2. The Processor. Built on Mediatek Helio G85 processor, the Redmi 12c is one of the most affordable phones to come with this massive CPU. All the other phones in this price range comes with a UNISOC T606 CPU which is lesser in performance. The processor of the Redmi 12c will ensure smooth performance, which means that the phone will hardly lag.

3. Big Camera. It comes with a 50MP camera that can take clear short. The only phone with a 50MP camera is the Itel S23. However, the s23 has a Unisoc T696 processor which cannot handle a 50MP camera. The processor of the Redmi 12c can. What this means is that those who make TikTok videos can now get a better camera phone for as low as 59k.

The Uglu Side

1. Redmi 12c has an ugly design. This along is the reason why most people refuse to purchase the device

2. It comes with USN 2.0 charging port. All the other phones in this pricerage support USB typr-c port

3. It comes with a 10-watt charger which will take the phone over 2 hurs to completely charge the batter from 0% to 100%.
