Vivo has taken the third position once again with 36% increase in its sales as compared with the last year. Lenovo and Motorola follow Vivo with the shipment of more than 3 million handsets. This boom in the market seems to be due to the shipment of LTE phones in the country. More than 50% of the population consists of young people who are fond of using data. Moreover, the slowing down of sales of these companies in the mature markets is also another factor.

Tech experts are of the view that this changing trend is also due to the marketing strategies of these companies. Many companies are stressing on the offline availability of the devices along with the online sale. The offline brands are paying attention to online supplies. And, online selling brands are becoming available offline.
