      We call it 'technology equality' in China,meaning everyone in the world have right to buy a good smartphone with affordable price.
      80% performabce at 50% price is better than 100% performance at 150%price in most situation.

            There is no one putting a gun to our head, telling us to buy Chinese phones over iPhones.
            Android has won the OS of choice award every year in the past decade. That preference is clearly reflected in the sales. What has iPhone won? Nothing!!!

              Present Nokia mobile is backed by Chinese investors.

                Basically the Chinese manufacturers are ruling the Indian Market.... 😱😱😱

                But they are ahead of others for a reason.
                Indian buyers are motivated by bang for buck products. We don't believe in being stup¡d and buying the most expensive phone out there blindly.

                Chinese manufacturers are ruling as they are delivering great Products to consumers.
                The satisfaction rate of cosmumers is indicated by the growth these companies are experiencing in the Indian market... The same Indian market which is bigger than the market of entire continents out there.

                          There are very few non-chinese brands available in India. Apple, Nokia and Samsung. Majority of Indians prefers low end and mid-range phones. So Apple is beyond their capacity. For other two brands, their is a huge gap between specifications offered and it's price.
                          Terms like Boycott China are nice to discuss on social media but in reality, when someone actually goes to purchase the phone in the market, finds that non-chinese products are 33% to 50% expensive for it's specifications offered. So, people end up with buying phones from Chinese brands only.

                            Anonymous, 28 Jan 2021Lol I thought they were against the Chinese manufacturers the middle class and lower class of our country only sees value for money. They won't even care if they are ruled by Chinese communist party, if they get 100$ each month in their bank account. So much for fake patriotism.

                              Except samsung no other non-chinese brand is present in budget category. Samsung also provide worst value/price ratio.
                              Few indian brands indian brands have launched products in the last months so in 2021 they will gain market share.
