IDC: Samsung and Xiaomi dominate Indian smartphone market in H2 2019

Yordan, 22 January 2020

IDC has published its report on the Indian smartphone market in the July-November period and it's good news for Xiaomi and Samsung, which remained the top makers in the period.

September saw Samsung lose its second place to Realme, but the company sales went down after that and it was fifth for the final two months in the analysis. Its numbers are still amazing for a company that hasn't even had two full years in the market.

Market share (%) by Company	July 2019	August 2019	September 2019	October 2019	November 2019
Xiaomi	25.47	26.92	28.36	29.26	30.42
Samsung	22.55	19.23	16.19	19.85	21.08
vivo	17	14.86	14.31	16.25	16.92
Oppo	11.31	12.15	11.88	11.42	11.12
Realme	10.64	14.36	16.74	9.33	8.23

Another trend to notice is Xiaomi expanding its lead over the second place maker.

vivo and Oppo were the most consistent performers and together with Realme the three BBK brands actually have more sales than anybody else.

You have to read A60 review about speakers,i heard that even they show ads in M-series, They offer plastic even in 350$+ mid-rangers, customer service is the only place where Samsung leads according to me
