Recommendations

The Nokia 2 comes with the widest LTE band support, has the biggest battery, has Gorilla Glass protecting the display, and offers guaranteed major software updates. Though, it’s also the most expensive in the above list.

If you want to have a fingerprint scanner, which is a scarce feature on this list, then the new Soda Fire is the 4G phone to buy.

If you are really on a tight budget, Yezz Andy C5VP is the least expensive by far. It is also the oldest smartphone on this list and the hardest to find in the market.

Ntel’s N1 Nova is a unique proposition. While it is a smartphone, its feature phone form factor means you are likely to use it more like a mifi device that can also make calls. So, if that is the kind of usage scenario you are looking for, that is the 4G phone for you.

The rest of the devices, Tecno W3 LTE, Lenovo Vibe C, Wiko Kenny 4G, and Freetel ICE 3 are all good phones too.

Now, I wish you happy 4G smartphone shopping!
