Counterpoint research website made a research on Mobile sales in India 2014 (Q2) and shockingly our Indian Smartphone company MicroMax leads our Indian Smartphone market beating the all time leading Samsung, Now MicroMax is the highest handsets seller brand in second quarter of 2014 (India) having a market share of around 16.6%, compared to the Korean mobile vendor “Samsung” whose market share is 14.4%

Over all 2% of growth rate is seen in mobile sales in India (2014) which is very low, but the sales of smartphones is nearly 68%, but the featured phones didn’t sale well as it’s sales growth rate down by 16% in Q2, this shows that mobile phone users are tending towards the smartphones rather than featured phones and MicroMax occupied more than 2/3rd of the market.
