China is the top smartphone seller in the world

The Dhaka Times Desk India has overtaken the United States to become the second largest smartphone seller in the world. A research institute called Counterpoint Research has given this information. In 2019, about 158 million smartphones were marketed in the country. An interesting thing is that China has contributed greatly to India's rise to second place. That is, the Indian market is covered with smartphones made by Chinese companies. 72 percent of the smartphones marketed in India in 2019 were smartphones made by Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo and Realme. The relatively low-cost phones of these Chinese companies are more popular in India.

Again, due to the popularity of Chinese smartphones in the country, those companies are rising to the top. Xiaomi can be mentioned here as an example. India is their biggest market, even more Xiaomi is sold in India than China!

On the other hand, iPhone is also doing well in India. The report says that after the release of the iPhone 11 series of smartphones in the market and the reduction of the price of the iPhone TenR model, the US company's sales have slightly increased there. However, the same cannot be said about Samsung. In 2019, they did not expand their market in India at all. Compared to 2018, Samsung's sales have decreased by 5 percent.
