Moto G & Moto E overtakes Nokia in India
Leaving the Indian cell phone market in 2011, Motorola has made a fruitful return and as indicated by the most recent Canalys report it is presently the fourth biggest cell phone merchant in the nation. Solid Moto G deals is one of the reasons why Motorola could surpass Nokia. It grew sales from 379,310 in Q1 to 955,650 in Q2, after launching its well received Moto G, followed by the Moto X and Moto E. Nokia only managed 583,160 smartphones sales in Q1 2014, growing slightly to 633,720 in Q2 2014. Motorola is also expected to launch the successor to the Moto G so we can only imagine Motorola’s numbers rising in the future.
Samsung is still the leader with over 4.4 million smartphones sold in the second quarter, followed by Micromax with almost 3.1 million and Karbonn in the third position with 1.07 million smartphones.
Samsung India announced that its quarterly profits fell nearly 25 percent – its worst performance in two years and the third consecutive quarter of profit decline. The shipments of Samsung’s devices in India fell from 4,478,170 in Q1 to 4,111,280 in Q2.
Motorola’s execution is clear confirmation that a solid brand joined with incredible quality gadgets is a decent formula for achievement, and it is not clear if Microsoft/Nokia will be able to replicate this feat and win back their market share.
