Since this device is for those with low budget in the first place,  then the price is expected to be budget friendly. 
Well of course it is as it's retailing for N15,000 from Divine Anyi Communications computer Village Ikeja. Call 08060791362

Verdict
Should you buy this device? Well, yes you can if money is a problem and you are not a serious HD gamer like that. The only problem a lot of people would have with it is the RAM. Though most high definition games will play fine if it's not RAM siphoning game.

Real Pictures and hands-on review will be placed here shortly with more spec updates.

    1. May not necessarily mean that the people you called were not being honest. Its a distributor office. price may have changed and I may not have the updated price list published here.
      However, I know Jumia online store, slot and konga are also selling this device. You could check with them if its cheaper than the previous store.
