Indian brands are entering the sub-Rs 20,000 smartphone segment as Chinese firms cut budget models and go premium.<\/em><\/p>\n

Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Indian brands are moving into the sub-Rs 20,000 smartphone segment because rising memory costs are pushing Chinese phone makers to shrink their budget lineups and shift toward pricier devices. Mivi is entering smartphones for the first time with a launch planned for November 24, NxtQuantum Shift Technologies has already put out 11 AI+ branded models between Rs 10,999 and Rs 19,999, and Fire-Boltt has launched its Boltt range priced between Rs 10,000 and Rs 16,000 exclusively on Flipkart. IDC estimates this sub-Rs 20,000 smartphone segment opportunity may last only 1-1.5 years before larger brands adjust their strategy again.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Rising component costs are reshaping India’s smartphone market, and a clutch of homegrown brands is moving to fill the sub-Rs 20,000 smartphone segment that established Chinese players are gradually vacating.<\/p>\n

Here is what is driving the shift, and which Indian brands are stepping into the sub-Rs 20,000 smartphone segment.<\/p>\n
