Smartphone business in India is pretty lucrative but if you are not aware, according to the IDC report, the smartphone penetration in India still hovers at 10% and it is expected to grow due to a variety of factors including greater availability of low-cost devices and additional sales emphasis by top-flight vendors on less populous parts of the country.

Thus, low cost phones which are basically feature phones are still selling heavily in India. As far as the figures are concerned, the share of feature phones in the overall market further slipped to 71% in 1Q 2014, which is a considerable decrease from 90% share in 1Q 2013.

Although, there are major players in India like Samsung, Nokia, Micromax, Karbonn, Lava, the major chunk of the population which accounts to 38% of the total user-base belongs to other brand users. These consist of Chinese smartphone brans and other growing India-based smartphone brands.

Anyways, looking at the low-cost phone consumptions in India, today GizBot has come up with a top 20 budget-friendly smartphones that you can buy right now.
