Listen to this article

India knows for the its fast growth in the smart phone demand and industry, but this is the first time in this quarter, when the shipment of the smart phones have slowed down due to the left over inventory after the festive season of October and November. If we look at the forth quarter of the 2014, smartphones shipments fell to the four percent over quarter over quarter to 14%. Shipment of the featured mobile phones also started to decline in 2013 as more Indian consumers preferred to take the inexpensive smart phones from the Samsung and Micromax.

IDC’s latest numbers show that featurephones are contributing and continuing as a slow but gradual slide into forgetfulness. The company also issued the percentage of the shipments in the Q4, which was only the 35% of the total shipments, this was a substantial increase from 13%. The IDC has also found that smartphones accounted for 35% of all the mobile phones shipped in Q4 2014. Along with this, IDC also claims that as the remaining inventory will be sold, then the shipment will also rise, with the increase in the demand of the smart phones industry, so the first Q1 of 2015 will remain slow.

Some of the vendors, who go prepared the 4G smartphones, are waiting for the opportunity about when, telecom industries will launch the 4G LTE services, as lots of companies have launched the 4G LTE services. users who are bored after using the 3G services, will now move towards  the 4G services, which are fastest services available. In this way, the need of time is only that, companies should wait for the right time of services, when you will be able to serve the customers. Manufacturers, that might get the advantage of this technology include the Huawei and Xiaomi, which have already launched the 4G LTE Smart phones in the India.

This is obviously the good news for the smart phone manufacturers, who have been serving the people to get the best parts of the services. And the shipment rate will also rise soon with the increase in demand from the public sector. Here are some of the figures, which have been shown by the IDC about how individual companies have performed in Q4 2014, Samsung holds its share of 22 percent vendor share, and this is the maximum share, this company is having. This is the fact that market of this company is declining with the increase in the competitors. Micromax comes on the second rank, but this smart phone company has got the increase of two percent, Intex comes on the third positions, while Lava stands on the third position having the share of 7%, and Xiaomi comes on with the percentage of 4, which is not bad as well.

WE are well familiar with this fact that, Indian market is getting metamorphosis, the gradual decline in the smart phones, and the gradual transition to the smarphone is now condensing, smart phones need to adopt the new R n D with cost effective formation of new smartphones
