Last year, India as a smartphone market already reached the pinnacle in terms of sales, when we got into the top 3 list among the global smartphone market share.

One of the main reasons, behind the sudden surge in the Indian smartphone market is the introduction of more and more cheap budget smartphones every year. These handsets come with latest Android operating system, decent specifications and are light on your pocket.

According to Gartner's, "Xiaomi made its debut among the top-five smartphone vendors. It experienced the highest growth with an increase of 336 percent in the third quarter of 2014, driven by strong performance in China where it became market leader." At the same time, the Chinese mobile maker received an incredible response from the Indian market.
