Samsung, which once led the smartphone market in India, slid to the third position in the quarter that ended in December, even as the South Korean giant continues to make major bets on the rare handset market that is still growing.158 million smartphones shipped in India in 2019, up from 145 million the year before, according to research firm Counterpoint.

Chinese firm Vivo did better than Samsung and became the second biggest smartphone seller in India in Q4 2019.Xiaomi, with command over 27% of the market, maintained its top spot in the nation for the last ten quarters.

Vivo’s annual smartphone shipment grew 76% in 2019.The Chinese firm’s budget S series of smartphones-priced between $100 to $150 - mainly helped it beat Samsung, said Counterpoint analysts.

Vivo’s market share jumped 132% between Q4 of 2018 and Q4 of 2019, according to the research firm.

Vivo and Oppo, on the other hand, have over the years expanded to smaller cities and towns in the country and signed deals with merchants.

Xiaomi, which entered India six years ago, sold handsets only through online channels to cut overhead, but has since established presence in about 10,000 physical stores.(停20 秒)
