Smartphone Shipment Explosion Sustained by $50-$75 devices, Mostly in ChinaSemiWiki - Eric EsteveJul. 04, 2013 |
Until recently, talking about smartphone incredible shipment growth was understood as shipments of A5 iPhone or Galaxy Note, and this was true. Devices priced at $500 or more are shipping like baguette in Paris, but this fact is only true in Europe, Korea, Japan or USA. Does that means that people living populated countries like India or China don’t like smartphones? In fact, they can’t afford paying for Apple iPhone or Samsung Galaxy, but they also want to be equipped, thus they buy affordable Android devices, at a $50 to $75 price range. Thanks to these new consumers, the smartphone market is continuing to explode in term of devices volume, even if the overall growth in value is more modest.
