        Oppo & Vivo are taking advantage of the mostly online sales of Xiaomi, Huawei(Honor), Lenovo & Moto. They are available at each & every store and offer a huge commission to retailers, which is much more than Samsung/Sony/HTC/LG could afford to do.

In terms of specs and overall performance they can match and beat iPhone 6,7 and 8's for example.

                        So while Xiaomi rise, Nokia will try to stop Samsung to rise in India by eating their market share. In the meantime, Nokia will need help for OPPO to eat the market share of Samsung rapidly so that these 2 companies will end Samsung market share earlier. Then, Vivo will rise and eventually Nokia and OPPO I will rise together.




                        That's my opinion though, heheh!!!!!!!!!!!

                          Redmi note 4 10999 for 32 GB version and 3gb ram
                          Samsung device with similar specs 16-17k
                          Yes Samsung will have better camera and after sales service but will it be 5-6k better?
                          For example My professors can easily afford an iPhone x but is it necessary for calls and data? ( Just as an example not trying to instigate anything). Most of them use rn4 or at best an op5
                          Compared to Samsung device, rn4 will certainly have better battery life and receive more updates throughout its life. Might as well go abroad with savings from a mobile device

                            This just shows Indians are smart consumers. Samsung is really over rated!!

                              Compliments to all of them for all their respective positions then. Additionally, Xiaomi could even take slightly over, if soon they (& they should & more) will present them selves with an outstanding value for money next gen Redmi Note 5 (that really a lot are waiting for, especially in India). We'll see.

                                This year's Mi models provide amazing build quality and power for a price kept reasonably low.

                                  Xiaomi definitely deserves this, they have shown that even at the low end, quality devices can be provided.
                                  Yes after sales is still below par, but what I have seen is even in that area as well they are improving steadily, with products still reasonably priced

                                    Xiomi can be only low budget leader. Because India is growing market. Most of users prefer Low budget phone just because the can't afford High End Brand. Although Xiomi quality is good but limited to low end. Xiomi is at all low end device maker. No company can compete Samsung in Innovation and Mid range and High end device
