Mobile Handset Industry In India

Nothing recently teased an "industry first" initiative. The company has now revealed its plan for a 'Community Edition Project' where it is inviting people across the world to send in their ideas regarding a new variant of the recently unveiled Nothing Phone 2a. It is claimed to be a co-creation of the "community" and the Nothing Team.

Reliance might launch two Jio smartphones in the Indian market soon. While details of the upcoming handsets are yet to be officially announced, they have purportedly bagged certification from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website, hinting at an imminent arrival.

iQoo Z6 Lite 5G will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 4-series SoC, according to report, which cites industry sources. The handset will reportedly launch in September, which is in line with an earlier tip. The chipset is reportedly comparable to the MediaTek Dimensity 810 SoC. Moreover, it is not said to be a rebranded version of the Vivo T1x.

Vivo V23 series India launch may take place on January 4, a report has claimed citing industry sources. The report highlights that the upcoming smartphone series may have a vanilla Vivo V23 and Vivo V23 Pro handsets in the India lineup. The phones may come with a 50-megapixel primary sensor in dual front camera setup.

India is considering a plan to offer subsidised loans to mobile handset manufacturers in a bid to attract Apple and Samsung’s suppliers to open factories in the nation, a government official is claimed to say.

COAI has claimed that there has been a "massive influx of untested and uncertified smartphones (more than 10,000 models in India) due to design variations introduced by the device manufacturers".

Feature phones still form about 59 percent of the overall market and can't be wiped off anytime soon, it added.

Mobile handset shipment this year is estimated to touch 265 million this year with feature phones forming about 59 per cent of the overall market, research firm CMR said on Monday.

Huawei, the world's third largest smartphone seller, will start manufacturing handsets in India soon, details of which will be announced in about a month.

In a fillip to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ambitious 'Make in India' initiative, over 100 top Chinese handset and component manufacturers gathered here on Wednesday in what could bring $2-$3 billion investment in Indian mobile manufacturing operations in the next two years.

Mike Wang, who has nearly two decades of experience in mobile handset industry, joined Oppo in 2005.

"We are in discussions with all the leading handset makers for RelJio launch," said Reliance Industries Joint Chief Financial Officer Srikanth Venkatachari.

Reliance Industries will make an investment of over Rs 250,000 crore in the digital space, including rollout of wireless broadband infrastructure and manufacturing of mobile handsets, its chairman Mukesh Ambani said today.

In their first engagement with the new government, officials from mobile handset maker Nokia on Wednesday met Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in a bid to resolve an over Rs 21,000-crore tax dispute.

With prices of 3G enabled mobile handsets falling coupled with availability of more spectrum in the segment, India is likely to witness a data explosion which hitherto contributes only 10 per cent of the revenue, a top Ericsson official has said.
