xeroxxxxxxxxx, 08 Jun 2017Unless.......... they are very poor . There are those who only can affort $40 phone and thats ... moreIndia's GDP says otherwise.
It's probably true that people in some areas are living in poverty, but there are a lot of people who do not. 1.2bln people with an average per capita GDP of 1850$ (PPP of 7000$) can buy a lot of phones .. not iPhones, but still.
(evidently it's a shame that almost 150million people in India are below the 1.9%/day poverty line, but things will change in time)

Heck they even had BOGO offers on S8. Don't forget that many Chinese manufactures do not sell in US. I have seen Americans whine about that too lol.

pt020, 08 Jun 2017But in India you have 1.3 billion people to 320 million in the US.That is a different metric, is it not? Smartphone penetration, or something like that...

Tomorrow, if a news about Smartphone penetration is posted, will you come back and say: "oh, these are just per capita figures, what about the size of the market?"

India is flooded with cheap chinese oems and the population of India is a lot more than of US. Putting this in perspective, US is still largest smartphone market.
