Indian smartphone market is growing in leaps and bounds. The country has the fastest-growing smartphone market in the world, accounting for 27.5 million devices sold in the second quarter of 2016, up 17 percent from the previous quarter. Besides, mobile subscriptions are expected to hit 1.4 billion by 2021.
It is the reason technology giants consider India a huge landing ground for their innovation and introduce their products, especially smartphones to cash out the profits. Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo, Gionee, etc. are some Chinese companies, which have managed to make their presence felt in a short period of time by selling their feature loaded affordable smartphones.

The company during the on-going BRICS 2016 Trade Fair in New Delhi gave us a glimpse of its product line-up including smartphones, wearables, enterprise solutions and IoT products.

This is the price-segment where most of the Chinese companies are selling their handsets. However, it is a well-known fact that consumers in India are little skeptic when the price-point crosses the Rs 25,000 for Chinese handsets. This is due to the brand trust, poor service network across the country and stiff competition from other well-known brands such as Samsung, Sony, HTC, etc. who are also selling smartphones in the same price-point.
On being asked how ZTE plans to deal with this situation, Sachin Batra, Chief Marketing Officer, ZTE India said, “ZTE is not in the race of making figures and sales. ZTE wants to showcase that it can deliver on high-end flagship smartphones that are not behind from other well-known brands in terms of features and hardware”.
