Top 10 Most Popular Smartphone Companies in India
April 9, 2020 by Nikunj Sharma
With the advancement of technology, our life is getting so much simpler. Before the era of smartphones, everyone used those phones with keyboards in them but then came the smartphones which taught us a new way to use them. Players like Nokia, HTC and Sony were the first companies to try capturing the Indian market. They tried hard but they failed in upcoming years to come as they were not able to lure the Indian buyers and their condition became difficult when the Chinese company Xiaomi begun its operations in India during the year of 2014.
Xiaomi's tie-up with the e-commerce giant marked the dawn of the new smartphone era in India as it focused on providing cheap smartphones with a lot of features. Sony phones were expensive and they had only one specialty that is they offered water resistance up to large limits but no up-gradation in design took the company out of competition, Nokia used to operate on Windows OS which offered only some apps as compared to the Playstore and the apps were not even timely upgraded and Indian companies like Micromax didn't show any up gradation in their product and finally lost to Chinese companies which offered new and better features and were cheap. Today many companies are running successfully in India like Realme, Samsung, Huawei, Oneplus, etc. So, if you are going to buy a smartphone, we are going to give you a list of most preferred smartphones which will come handy for you all-
1) Xiaomi
The year 2014 marked the arrival of this Chinese giant in India and from that year this brand has surprised its rivals. Initially, it tied-up with e-commerce giant Flipkart to sell its smartphones. Nobody thought what followed next. The whole Mi 3 smartphones were purchases within seconds. The total number of users who logged on to Flipkart was around 5,00,000. This crashed the website. It was kind of a match made in smartphone heaven. According to sources, Xiaomi still leads the race of winning the smartphone race in India. It owns 27% of the total market in Q4, 2019share as compared to the earlier 26% in Q3, 2019.
