Samsung Q2 Indian Smartphone Shipments Slid Badly, Reports Canalys

Smartphone shipments in India fell 48% in Q2 to 17.3 million units due to a “complete halt in production” and lower demand due to COVID-19, said Canalys Friday. Third-place Samsung, whose shipments dropped 60% to 2.9 million for 16.8% share, also had exports hit “as its largest manufacturing plant outside of Vietnam shut down for most of Q2,” said the research firm. Xiaomi led the market with 5.3 million shipments for 31% share, followed by Vivo shipping 3.7 million units for 21.3% share.
