Chinese handset maker Xiaomi became the second largest smartphone vendor in India, accounting for 14% of shipments in the quarter, up from 3% a year ago. The company shipped 4 million units in the quarter, Singapore-based agency Canalys said in a note.
Xiaomi’s success in India is underscored by its online go-to-market strategy. Demonetization seems to have had no impact on it, as its target customer is young, Internet-enabled and primarily buys online,” said Canalys Research Analyst Ishan Dutt.
Samsung maintained its market share, shipping just over 6.0 million units. Sustained J-series shipments to its established offline distribution partners ensured that it stayed on top.
