As for the Korean OEM, it snatches a market share of 14.4 percent in the region. The third and fourth spot are captured by Nokia and Karbonn, with a market share of 10.9 and 9.5 percent respectively.
Samsung is still the king when it comes to sales, grabbing a market share of 25.3 percent, followed by Micromax and Karbonn with a 19.1 and 5.9 percent share. Motorola has also made solid footprints in the Indian market with its Moto X/E/G which comes with an extremely affordable price tags in the market.
It’s not just India, Samsung is having some trouble in the global markets as well, but things may become a little better with the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 4, which is rumored to launch next month.
