A Nigerian man has built a functioning Android phone from scratch using only wood and wires, as revealed in a viral video on TikTok.

In the video, the man, identified as Isaiah, explained that he constructed the phone entirely from wood and wires.

He stated that with proper support and access to machinery, he could produce more advanced and well-designed versions of the phone.

Isaiah further highlighted that this is the first phone ever made in Africa by an African, capable of performing all the functions of a standard Android phone with a flashlight feature.

Following the video, many viewers flooded the comment section to express their thoughts and admiration for his innovative achievement.

See some reactions below: 

@rasdanbot: “With due respect I think this is rubbish. Technology is supposed to solve a problem. Which problem is this contraption solving? This person is creative, he should use his creativity to solve an existing problem. Not to build a phone. So I should leave my phone and buy this one?”

@Whoisawake247: “The Chinese and Americans have both competitive and combative advantages of producing these gadgets. U cat compete with that. Choose something like earpiece, screen guard…. Make it cheaper, supplies will buy from u in naira. I don’t no one will leave iPhone or Samsung for this.”

@Iam_Monney: “Why do you call it Nokia phone, call it Igbo Phone. As we are progressing ppl are now going backwards. Nonsense tech.”

@Obasichukwu9: “Nigeria don’t know what they have see multi-billion industry. And some are typing what they like because with hands you can type anything.”

@AuWears19846: “Una go just dy hype rubbish.. make e no go find better thing do. Chinese kindergarten kids do more than this rubbish.”

@gbadamosiwole: “This is just a prototype. They can refine it and modify it. If you all see the first airplane by the Bright brothers, I am sure most of you wouldn’t give the modern day jet a chance!!!”
