India to have over 700 million smartphone users by 2022: Counterpoint

More than a billion smartphones will be sold in India over the next five years, taking the number of users to surpass 700 million by 2022, Counterpoint Research said on Friday.

Mid-range smartphones (roughly Rs 14,000-Rs 29,000), will grow 20% (year-on-year) in 2018 and by almost four times during the next five years to make it one of the most important smartphone segments in India, the market research firm added.

The sales volume sweet spot is moving from sub-$150 (nearly Rs 10,000) segment towards mid-tier as many features and capabilities common among flagship models, progressively diffuse through to these lower price bands, noted Counterpoint’s white paper on “India Mid-Tier Smartphone Segment and opportunity for SoC players”.

“Features such as full-screen displays, dual-cameras, biometric security and support for Artificial Intelligence (AI) are beginning to make in-roads to the mid-range. They will become widespread over the next few years,” said Tarun Pathak, Associate Director at Counterpoint Research.

“Part of this lack of development can be attributed to the poor relative development of data-capable mobile networks and high data pricing. Upstart operator, Reliance Jio, has catalysed a rapid shift toward 4G LTE, together with much more accessible data pricing,” noted Research Director Neil Shah.

Looking at the competitive environment, the top five brands contributed to 92% share of the mid-tier segment in India. Samsung, Vivo, Apple, OPPO and Huawei were the leading brands in the first half of 2018.

“However, we expect competition to increase in the segment as more brands enter including Xiaomi, Asus, Nokia HMD and others,” said the white paper.

OnePlus 6T official teaser hints at in-display fingerprint sensor

An official OnePlus 6T teaser video strongly suggests that the flagship smartphone will feature an in-display fingerprint scanner. The official OnePlus Twitter handle has posted a brief teaser (seen below). The Twitter page shows a hexagon with the letter ‘T’ in it, followed by the phrase ‘Unlock the future’. The clip ends with the logo of OnePlus 6T.

As speculated before, the video teaser  appears to suggest that OnePlus 6T will come with an in-display fingerprint scanner, a feature that has been confirmed to be included in the device. Unfortunately, the teaser does not provide much information about the design language of the handset. That said, as spotted by 9to5Google, it appears that the company will use some type of ultrasonic variety.Read More

Beyond this information on what the phone will offer is not yet available, but we expect some major improvements in the camera. OnePlus’ devices are known to provide the top-of-the-line hardware and we don’t see the OnePlus 6T will be any different. The Chinese company has already confirmed that its next flagship will ditch a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Rumor has it the OnePlus 6T will adopt a waterdrop notch design, similar to OppoF9 Pro and V11 Pro. This should not come as surprise, given that all three companies are part of BBK Electronics. As for specifications, previous speculation has pointed out a 6.2-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 845 processor, dual cameras on the back, Android 9.0 Pie, and a 3,700mAh battery. In India, OnePlus 6T will be exclusive to Amazon.
