Other brands what managed to do effectively in the Indian market include things like ASUS, especially in the mid-range section, thanks to its Zenfone series. Tecno, and Nokia HMD are doing effectively too. The rise in the market share of Chinese brands has naturally led to the decline of the Indian brand shipments.

Other key point mentioned in the report was that Samsung has surpassed OnePlus in Q1 2019 to become the number one phone maker in the top quality segment.
