in India in terms of value in August


Oppo Mobiles has overtaken Apple to take the second spot in the top 5 smartphone brands in India in terms of value for the month of August 2016 as per GFK data. According to Oppo, the company has grown by 16 per cent in comparison to the previous month after the launch of the Oppo F1s smartphone in August.

Sky Li, Oppo Global VP, MD of International Mobile Business and President of Oppo India, said, “India is a priority market for us. We have caught the trend that users, especially young generations like taking photos and selfies by phones. That’s why we have invested a lot in offering the consumers high quality camera phones with a strong focus on front camera. Going forward we will continue investing in photography technology, design and offering the best consumer experience.”

According to the vIndia Monthly Data (August 2016) Samsung is the top smartphone brand in India with 46.9 per cent market share in terms of value. Oppo is second on the list with a market share of 8 per cent. Apple, Lyf and Micromax come in at third, fourth and fifth with market shares of 6.3 per cent, 6.1 per cent and 5.4 per cent respectively.

In the premium segment, Oppo F1 Plus with its 16 megapixel front camera saw strong shipments. Chinese vendors captured now have a one-third share of this segment (above $300). Apple iPhone SE failed to boost market share for the company, with older iPhone 5S still being a hot favourite and driving volumes.

Oppo claims that the reason for its fast growth is thanks to the company’s ‘aggressive expansion of offline channel strategy’. The company has said that the offline presence has expanded to 35,000 Point of Sales and also 180 after sales service centres.

The company has also said in a statement that it is planning ‘something special this Diwali’, and will start October 6.

Xiaomi India Claims to Have Sold 1 Million Smartphones in 18 Days

In Indian Boycott days
Lol I lost words with Indian Simple Minded people

Unfortunately, RSSers won't agree with you, who are famous for spreading religious nonsense such as beef banning and boycotting more than providing food to low-caste. India to me is the least practical country, and the least I have ever seen valuing development and economic relations with other countries.

Your nonsense might be true if you change the subject to other country.
But india? Come on, we all know the reality here!

Yes, not everyone in my country agrees with RSS but we have a system of agreeing to disagree. Religious radicalization is unfortunately growing and its not privy to any one religion. I cant comment on your understanding but if India was not practical, she wont be doing business worth billions of dollars with China despite massive trade imbalance and she wont be prompting Pakistan for more business.
We also know that your decisions on terrorists are more driven by your strategic needs than your values.

Every country is doing business....but india is not the country famous for economic cooperation

Their national mindset is beyond most sensible people.....

Wrong title...If India boycotted Chinese goods, how has Xiomi sold 1 million phones in juts 18 days?

If Indian government bans Chinese goods, than it is called boycotting Chinese goods. Some fringe group calling to boycott Chinese goods doesn't mean India boycotted Chinese goods.

 

[Razia Sultana]

Yes, India has boycotted Chinese goods. Whether it would be successful or not is another matter.

What you are describing would be a 'ban'. India has not banned Chinese goods, though there is a grassroot movement for boycotting them.

I would disagree with you. Except for diwali lights and crackers I dont think anyone is even bothered about it. Do you know that most of the electronics items we have are made in china? It maybe a Korean or European brand but the products we get are made in china. Frankly speaking I rarely see any product that is not made in china.
We are a growing economy and cant afford to be known as business biased. It will be against our interest. Best way is to compete the chinese products.

Very good news for OPPO.
Higher end phones have more profit margin.

In the premium segment, Oppo F1 Plus with its 16 megapixel front camera saw strong shipments. Chinese vendors captured now have a one-third share of this segment (above $300).

FC Barcelona edition of the Oppo R7 Plus.

All of a sudden, OPPO grows from a company that was unknown to most Chinese to an international mobile manufacturing selling higher-end phones to a lot of countries.

Of course economically it does not make sense for China to establish factories in india if the indians are buying from China anyway. However, let's not overlook the political implication of beefing up the indian economy. It will only feed india's ambition to threaten China' interest. So, logically why should China do something to strengthen india's economy?

Sometimes Chinese companies need to experience excruciating pain should they go to India.

It seems that boycotting in social media is part of their daily life......
Oh boy....

The only thing indians should boycott through social media is open defacating

 

[Lotus_stalk]

Instead of boycotting trade, India should try to capture Chinese export markets... Chinese are trying to escape middle income trap... and India has a large mass of unemployed poor people....

If India changes its labour laws.... it will break the back out many Chinese companies like Foxconn

Most of these smartphone companies have shifted manufacturing bases to India... Indians are boycotting products made completely made in China... forcing Chinese companies to shift factories to India

We have not just witnessed such mentality in PDF but also read so many ridiculous prestitutional articles from their newspaper.

 

[lonelyman]

Like trump said, they are all talk no action. Senseless boasting making them look really stupid.

 

[SBUS-CXK]

even that wont happen overnight it will take time at least two years to make it a mass movement but it has started let them make fun of india and indians for now they will repent it later

Oh, I'm afraid, my income will be less...

 

[GURU DUTT]

Oh, I'm afraid, my income will be less...
