    Not surprised. They launched M30S for 15k 3 years ago with Exynos 9611. They're still selling the exact same phones under severaldifferent names.

    I have a M21 which was one of the rebrand and I have no reason to upgrade because the new phone is the same.

        People buying iPhones are declining rapidly. Majority of the users are buying older models which have become less expensive now.

        Most of these guys are only interested in show off and buy it purely for the logo. They'll buy an inconvenient 4.7" screen just to be able to use a product with fruit logo on the back.

            ” Apple witnessed 144% YoY growth in Q2 2021. The brand maintained its leading position in the ultra-premium segment (>INR 45,000 or ~$650) with more than 49% share. Continued strong demand for the iPhone 11 coupled with aggressive offers on the iPhone 12 series were the driving factors for this growth. ”

            Are you sure they aren’t winner?

              OPPO and vivo primarily target offline audience in tier 2 cities, towns and rural areas. And in one of the offline stores, Reno 6 is being pre-booked for INR 26k and will be available for about 25k once its supply becomes stable.
              On the other hand, it is sold at about INR 30k on various online retailers.

                      it is obvious and inevitable that samsung will be doomed and insignificant in indian market.
                      their greedines deserves this defeat 👌

                          The Android Freak, 29 Jul 2021Why not snapdragon across every price segment? A52 and A70 ... moreSimple.
                          With Exynos, Samsung could save money a lot (more profit)
                          Because with Snapdragon, samsung need to shell out money to buy the chip.
                          But with exynos, samsung can also keep the profit of the chip.

                                  Hmm. I more curious about which companies actually made dent in the market and gained traction. IG Micromax could have stolen a tiny bit market share. No idea about other gainers. Maybe Apple also gained more MS in India.

                                    Samsung will loose more market share bcaz there is no mid range devices available in the market... Samsung is giving step motherly treatment to Indian market...

                                      Anonymous, 29 Jul 2021Afcourse Samsung lost marketshare.... Keep giving Exynos ... moreTrue. In budget to mid-high segment also, Xiaomi/iQOO/Realme rules. Motorola has launched great products this year, but unfortunately it is lagging. Motorola should have launched snapdragon 870 powered device by March-May. It would have lead to a great competition.
