Xiaomi continues to lead Indian smartphone market in Q3 2021: Counterpoint
It’s been years since Xiaomi is leading the Indian smartphone market. In 2021, we have witnessed an unstoppable growth of the brand in the country. Now, the tech has found another reason to celebrate as it again tops the Indian smartphone market in Q3 2021.
According to the report by Counterpoint, India’s smartphone shipments declined by 2% to 52 million units in the third quarter of 2021. The decline can be attributed to higher demand growth due to COVID-19 last year.
