However the smartphone market registered a Y/Y increase of 55% but declined by 11% Q/Q.

  • Microsoft on account of strong feature phone sales is still among top three brands in the overall market with a market share of 10.9%; feature phone models including 105,108 and 225 were among the top sellers.
  • Smartfren, another local (operator) brand, captured third spot in the smartphone segment primarily due to continued strong demand for models like the AndromaxC3, C2.
  • However the operator is expected to shift its CDMA portfolio towards LTE portfolio and its recent launch of Cyanogen based device (Andromax Q) is a step in the same direction.
  • Oppo continue to hold on its position among top 5 smartphone brands with a market share of 6.1%.Going forward vendor is expected to ramp up its domestic manufacturing in the country as demand for its products is remains strong.
