The jump, apparently, has been so massive that you get to see a smartphone nearly everywhere you go.And with the price tags for the devices ranging from very high to very low, it's no wonder that smart devices have successfully infiltrated the hearts and minds of regular users.

The Indian smartphone market has had a great 2014 so far with the market not only ranked among among the top markets in the Asia Pacific region, but also witnessing new names heading over to a level playing ground apart from the likes of Samsung and Apple.
