Since India’s independence, the mobile phone has emerged as the single most critical device that has enabled Indians to overcome geographic barriers and socio-economic status and to embrace new economic realities.

No other nation has embraced mobile phones the way India has. By connecting Indians to the internet, mobile phones have opened many new possibilities for them to perform key functions: whether it is communications or education, transportation or emergency situations.

Across India, feature phones, with their low costs, and longer battery life, continue to be popular, enabling Indians to get connected than ever before.

As per CMR Mobile Handset Market Review, in Q2 2018, feature phones accounted for 30% of the India mobile handset market.

Samsung led the leaderboard, followed by Nokia and Micromax.
