The research also suggests that because Apple adjusted the price of iPhone XR in China and other markets, it helped the company to have strong demand. In addition to this, the report revealed that iPhone 11 (Review) also was listed in the top 10 in its launch quarter. iPhone 11 reportedly has a market share of 1.6 percent in Q3 2019.
Three A-series smartphones — Samsung Galaxy A10, Galaxy A50 (Review) and Galaxy A20, also reportedly made to the top 10 list of the quarter. As per the research, this is because the company discontinued its J series and launched A-series phones at a lower price range.
Oppo's A9, A5s, and A5 smartphones also bagged positions in the top 10. Lastly, Huawei P30 and Xiaomi's Redmi 7A (Review) are also among the top 10 in Q3 2019.
The report suggests that Xiaomi's Redmi 7A made it to this list just because the India market contributed to over half of the total sales of the model during the quarter. The report also shows that no matter the domination of Chinese smartphone brands in India, globally speaking Apple and Samsung still rule the roost.
Apple has also begun the assembling of the iPhone XR in India. As per a recent tweet by Communications, Electronics & IT Minister of India, Ravi Shakar Prasad, Apple has begun the assembling of iPhone XR in India. He shared an image in the tweet where he is posing with a unit of iPhone XR which was assembled in India.
