Samsung sells more smartphone than any other company in Indian subcontinent. According to latest reports from CyberMedia, Samsung sold 4 million units in Q1 2013 alone to top the chart. Local smartphone manufacturer Micromax and Karbonn follows Samsung at second and third positions respectively.

India smartphone sell increased 167% compared to last year and Samsung is the biggest gainer in that. Samsung controls about 40% of India’s samrtphone market share.

Tarun Pathak, a CyberMedia analyst stated, “A significant proportion of these (users) were already using the devices of local vendors and preferred to continue with a smartphone of the same brand. Thus, local vendors have been able to introduce their new smartphone offerings to this ‘captive’ customer base.”
