When they count Micromax sale they don't count the smartphones only, but the feature dumb phones.
I the smartphones market in India, Samsung is still the leder.

These are seperate divisions that work on building these softwares and hardwares unlike Micromax which gets assembled and labelled micromax and sold out to fools who buy for price and not phones.

      [deleted post]You very well know Apple has chipset from Samsung... If your comment includes Samsung but for the rest yeah I agree...I pity India and the crowd. The crowd is after price and not the phones.

        [deleted post]Samsung also considers shipping as sales. if a phone is shipped it is considered sold. No surprise that Micromax topped. Canvas knight (hopefully got the model right)has really good camera both front and rear.

          This misleading "news" is about the dumb phones of Micromax . Not about smartphones.

            Biggest Sale.. maybe.

            Biggest Profit.. not so.

            Best cheap.. unlikely. Provided you do not visit service center.

            Best? Nope.

              Don,t see any point in this article, except of bashing Samsung. lol
              In China also Samsung have the biggest market share. Only on the shipping last month was the second.

                      The key to be successful in india is to make cheap spare parts for its products.
                      I don't know if micromax has the same strategy.
                      I realized it when I went to sell my old sony tv . The guy said no one wants to buy sony tv because spares are very expensive. I was thinking how dumb cause he doesn't know that this will never need repairs. But then on second thought I figured out what he meant .
                      Anything cheap sells in india with little bit of reliability and cheap spares you can sell anything here. Cause everday is near death experience . Not just for humans but also for the machines

                        The after sales service of Micromax is pathetic in India. I couldn't believe it's in top position in the country.
