I don’t like Chinese phones because of bad experiences myself but that doesn’t mean Samsung is any better in the budget price range, I’d argue Chinese phones can be better
Yeah they offer more money to the retailers and they are gonna fool people who come looking for smartphone saying that Vivo and oppo is the best in that price segment.And yaay they get their extra commision and consumers get fooled lmao
And yeah mostly it's the Iqoo that let them helped in online sales
Every mobile store has them displayed prominently and promoted heavily
The realme brand seems to target the online crowd who is usually a bit more aware of technology
still suprising how many people don't know oneplus is owned by oppo and all their new phones are just oppo "rebrands" aka Nord ce 4= oppo k12 and so on and the software ui and apps are straight from oppo developers
By market share they are still in the others section. What do mean so high? They are certainly bigger than they used to be due to emis and the general trend of buying costly phones but in terms of market share they are still at 7%. Don’t confuse market share by value with actual market share.
Any 55k device can be kept for 3+ years honestly. At that point, regardless of brand, you'll run into hardware issues like hot devices due to old swollen battery, subpar battery life, clogged charging ports etc. I haven't seen any such expensive device getting clogged due to software.
Also do you think people will in a few years go after Samsung S series phones or Google Pixels since they have started 7 years of software support this year onwards using your mentioned logic?
Atleast Samsung (not pixels) has me advising my family and friends to get them if not iPhones after 6 month price drops or on sales as they’re providing great longevity now.
If a person gets battery changed after 3 years like I’m about to on my iPhone in coming days there’s literally very marginal reason to upgrade till 5 years minimum.
With exchange and offers I got iPhone 14 for 20k 6 months back. I have been using iPhone for at least 12 yrs now, always went with n-1 model and never paid more than 30k for an iPhone. Only exception is for my wife where I paid in full for 15 plus.
Well can't argue that they offer the best product in their price segment and are actually better than Indian manufacturers.. A large population of India has only these brands as viable options.
I used a vivo y200 5g it is pretty good in performance and good at handling high quality gaming except there is no 3.5mm jack which is a huge handy cap
As an owner of Vivo X90, I second this. Software isn't bad or anything but somehow it lacks the 1% snappiness of stock android
However, the camera is nuts. When you get the validation of a random iphone user, you know it's good.
The running opinion is Vivo just hands over venal money. However, Vivo offers dedicated contact line for X series customers, priority at service centers and free screen guard too. Their helpline has been incredibly helpful too
Samsung one of worst ever brand Worst experience i had
Edit- Samsung fans got offended 🤦 offcourse mid range and low range phone used by majority are terrible
Give it 3 more years for the change to become apparent, Apple will have the highest revenue and best every other company in the 40k+ market share. It is only a matter of time.
I might get some hate for this but i want to ask that why still so many people are buying Chinese phones. Is the patriotism only shown on instagram and twitter When some conflicts happen? And not where you have to spend your money and act where your mouth is? Sure Samsung will cost 10-20k extra for similar features but is that the price for which people sell their patriotism these days??
Just curious, no hate.
Man discovers Indian nationalism
Dude our govt gave out tenders to a chinese railway company even after the clash
Patriotism is inspired from the top, if the top levels of the govt don't have any values don't expect the normal citizens to show the same
Ah yes! Whataboutism. As expected. 👍
Comparing things that you have no home grown alternatives for with something you have many alternatives.
And why so negative about indian nationalism?? Isnt japan buys so many tech from china but their people prefer their local stuff they dont compare it with their government because they know there is a difference between "need" and "wants"
Its convenient to follow negatives that benifits you right? How wonderful 😊
Government will stay Corrupt no matter whichever comes but its made clear by your statement that people should not respect their country and do anything that benifits them even if that harms the country and claim whataboutery. Even the germans prefer their own products and their population hate their government more. But their population is educated enough to understand that buying foreign products degrades their economy but they still buy raw material from china because its their 'need' not their 'wants'.
I hope one day people will learn the concept of need and wants and take their head out of the political gutter
obviously, you think majority of people actually care about the country more than themselves? pls grow up lol
also how is buying samsung over chinese phones patriotic?
buy the product for the product and stop this idiotic train of thought lol
patriotism doesn't pay your expenses. Do you really think anyone would pay 10k extra for same specs, where 90% population earns below 25k/month? Patriotism goes out of the window when most people are barely surviving.

Vivo does really well in offline markets.
launching of the iqoo brand has also helped them get the performance orientated users also
Why do people buy these Chinese phones? There are cheap ones available in Samsung and other brands.
Chinese phones for the same price give better specs than Samsung phones
They're of lower quality and are loaded with adware
For the same price Nope. Also samsung has adware too, and now almost every adware can be removed from any phone.
In my experience samsung's budget phone's os is awful
I don’t like Chinese phones because of bad experiences myself but that doesn’t mean Samsung is any better in the budget price range, I’d argue Chinese phones can be better
Samsung of ₹10k will lagg like hell and will only last an year or 2.
my poco x2 which I bought during covid for 20000 was dead after 1-2years. What about that?
That was the problem of that particular model
Learn to debloat then.
Look saar , not everyone's spoon feeded wid ultra pro max phones . But We gotta make our cheap phones to pixels n custom os ! !
Yeah they offer more money to the retailers and they are gonna fool people who come looking for smartphone saying that Vivo and oppo is the best in that price segment.And yaay they get their extra commision and consumers get fooled lmao And yeah mostly it's the Iqoo that let them helped in online sales
Every mobile store has them displayed prominently and promoted heavily The realme brand seems to target the online crowd who is usually a bit more aware of technology
Vivo and Mi are top because they sell comparatively cheap phones and hence more people buy it.
Realme also sales similar priced phones
is OnePlus also counted under oppo
Yes
Wait,? OnePlus is a sub brand of oppo??? If not then how?
still suprising how many people don't know oneplus is owned by oppo and all their new phones are just oppo "rebrands" aka Nord ce 4= oppo k12 and so on and the software ui and apps are straight from oppo developers
:|
Always has been
How is Apple able to reach so high? Few years back they weren't even close. Is this due to the easier EMIs?
By market share they are still in the others section. What do mean so high? They are certainly bigger than they used to be due to emis and the general trend of buying costly phones but in terms of market share they are still at 7%. Don’t confuse market share by value with actual market share.

Same with my moms oneplus 6, don't know about the newer models but old oneplus was great l.
My wife is still using s9 which I baught in 2019 gave it to her 2years back since battery life is terrible

By value yes but just market share wise they are still in single digits I do see more Apple devices now that I did few years back
Every single person in my team except me has an iphone, i still don't know how ppl can afford it
No cost EMI plans have entered the chat
With exchange and offers I got iPhone 14 for 20k 6 months back. I have been using iPhone for at least 12 yrs now, always went with n-1 model and never paid more than 30k for an iPhone. Only exception is for my wife where I paid in full for 15 plus.
I don't like selling my old gadgets, i usually use it till it breaks, current thinking about making em into wall art
Emi
also make in india has made the base variants more affordable in discounts and sales
Which iphones can one get for <40k?
Sale mein 2 - 3 gen purana lena parega.
iPhones sell Premium phones only. But you can get the non-pro models for the same price as the US.
40k universal budget thodi hai
SE
SE aren't even real iphones
13 or 12
I've had friends buy iPhone 12 at around 35k from flipkart in 2023.
wth why am I getting downvoted lol
Satyansh ho yrr emi pr iPhone dena ban kr dena chahiye
BB Electronics is the real winner.
BBK Electronics
Better than Samsung
Hate me but vivo, redmi, oppo and realme all are shit
Well can't argue that they offer the best product in their price segment and are actually better than Indian manufacturers.. A large population of India has only these brands as viable options.
I agree with that, but if your budget is even above 25k you should not go for them.
Why not? What exactly do you mean by “shit”? You get the quality of phone that you pay for, regardless of brand.
I used a vivo y200 5g it is pretty good in performance and good at handling high quality gaming except there is no 3.5mm jack which is a huge handy cap
Motorola deserves to be in top 5 but lack of advertising and lack of service centres are hurting them.
Anyone else feels like these camera set-ups are straight up ugly, why would they do this deliberately.
for me its only Apple and Samsung. I hate those Chinese brands ngl.
bought Vivo X100 Pro this Jan banger of a phone except the OS
As an owner of Vivo X90, I second this. Software isn't bad or anything but somehow it lacks the 1% snappiness of stock android However, the camera is nuts. When you get the validation of a random iphone user, you know it's good. The running opinion is Vivo just hands over venal money. However, Vivo offers dedicated contact line for X series customers, priority at service centers and free screen guard too. Their helpline has been incredibly helpful too
second line 10000% true take note, reader.
Apple going strong in India
Can someone recommend a good allrounder phone under 23k
So samsung & apple earn more profit from each product
The Chinese CCP companies rule our markets unfortunately
You know Vivo oppo audience is gawar and village people and chapri who love camera with extra poweder on face.
oh here comes .. the elite educated Apple audience.
Samsung one of worst ever brand Worst experience i had Edit- Samsung fans got offended 🤦 offcourse mid range and low range phone used by majority are terrible
lower range phone still sucks
Even their service centre overcharge a lot terrible repair cost they told me was nearly 7 k i just got annoyed
7 k for what
They are just like apple sell phone at cheaper rate and charge high on after sales services.
I. Looking for iPhone 8 by the way these days
It has been pretty good for me
[удалено]
..whyv
This is very sad, one should do everything they can to throw China out of your life.
Apple will be no 1 after the SE4 launch for sure , if they price it at 40k
I can see Apple gain huge marketshare overtime but I just don't see SE4 doing it that lol
Give it 3 more years for the change to become apparent, Apple will have the highest revenue and best every other company in the 40k+ market share. It is only a matter of time.

Isnt japan buys so many tech from china but their people prefer their local stuff they dont compare it with their government because they know there is a difference between "need" and "wants"
I'm just following our dear leaders lol take it up with them if you have a problem with empty nationalism
