27 devices were unveiled by the handset and tablet manufactures for Indian consumers. Out of which 21 were Smartphone’s, four were tablets and two were feature phones. The price range of all these Smartphone’s were from Rs 5,000 and Rs 1.5 lakh. All 21 Smartphone’s were launched last month both from MNC brands and Indian brands. The major trend we observed was that new Smartphone’s outnumbered feature phones. The main reason behind this might be MNC brands like Sony, Motorola and HTC have already stated that they will exit the feature phone business and concentrate only on Smartphone’s. But the unexpected part is that even homegrown brands are no longer focusing on the feature phone segment. Eight feature phones were announced in the month of May but this number decreased to just two in June. Even the price of basic Smartphone’s is almost same as features phones and moreover the first time buyers' market is fast dwindling. Customers are also looking for the upgrades which results into shrinkage of feature phone market.
