Smartphone shipments in India jumped 21.4% in the July-September quarter to 28.3 million units, buoyed by a three-fold jump in demand for 4G-enabled devices, according to a research firm IDC.
Smartphone shipments stood at 23.3 million units in the same period a year ago. The shipments increased over 6% from 26.5 million units in the April-June 2015 quarter.
“The growth in the smartphone market was helped by rising demand for affordable 4G smartphones,” IDC senior market analyst client devices Karthik J said in a statement.
In the third quarter, 4G-enabled devices witnessed almost three-fold increase in shipments over the previous quarter and one out of three smartphones shipped was 4G-enabled, IDC said.
