If we are to keep all the top notch smartphones companies aside for a while, with the likes of Apple, Samsung and Sony put on hold for a while, it could be really interesting to check out the advent of vendors that are primarily India-based.

There are a host of Indian manufacturers such as Karbonn, Lava and Micromax that are currently trying to topple a market that was once so closely controlled by other big names in the race. And with more and more devices coming in at subsidized prices, it might seem like it's only a matter of time before these companies eventually catch up.
