According to data from Counterpoint, India’s smartphone market amassed record shipments in Q3 2020. The likes of Samsung and OnePlus starred.
Smartphone makers probably won’t consider 2020 a good sales year, but there are now signs of recovery in some regions and for some OEMs. According to research from Counterpoint, India’s smartphone market recovered to record quarterly shipments in Q3 2020.53 million units were shipped in Q3 2020 in India, up by 9% year-over-year. This growth wasn’t driven by demand for flagships, though. The Rs 10,000-Rs 20,000 (~$135 to $270) sector recorded its highest growth and highest market share in the quarter. Users willing to spend a little more are also grabbing one device in particular. The OnePlus Nord is now the best-selling phone in the Rs 20,000 – Rs 30,000 (~$270-$400) segment, per the report.
