    Not that surprising there's a huge market for phones out there. I have seen a lot of good YouTube reviewers from India as well. So all this makes sense.

        I live in Paris and have visited India 3 times. Its like a world within a country which is growing at a breathtaking pace. Apart from china no one will understand what that pace is. We have never seen cities and places changing so drastically.The changes i saw in just a matter of months is simply astonishing. I think we should better get used to it and try to use india's progress to our benefit also. Rather than being jealous about it.

          In order words, brands that are just starting out should focus on China and India. Struggling brands like Sony, HTC and Blackberry could have made these 2 countries their priorities and as a result vastly expanded their market share

                AnonD-249626, 26 Oct 2017No surprise as $7 phone exist in india .There is no $7 phone in Indian market.

                  yey! Now invest some money in proper infrastructure and most important: toilet and proper hygiene, because India is still in top3 countries with worst standards of sanitation and hygiene.
                  Its lovely place for vacation but seriously change your own priorities....
