Samsung smartphone shipment increases in the Indian smartphone market in Q3 2020, reclaims second spot
In the last week of March 2020, the Indian Government imposed a nationwide lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic. After that, the smartphone market in the country rapidly fallen for a few months. But when the unlock began, Samsung once reclaimed its second position from the Chinese smartphone maker Vivo in the third quarter of 2020.
According to the report of market analysis firm Canalys, Samsung again achieved its second spot in the Indian smartphone market with 20.4% of market share in Q3 2020 in the country. Samsung got a higher market share in comparison to the Vivo due to the anti-China sentiments.
The shipments of smartphones recovered in Q3 2020 with an 8% growth to 50 million units. This is an all-time record for smartphone shipments in a single quarter in India.
Smartphone shipments of Samsung in the third quarter of this year were 10.2 million units which are higher than the previous year’s 9.5 million units. The South Korean smartphone maker got a 7% YoY growth with a 20.4% market share.
Xiaomi continued at the top spot with a 9% YoY growth, shipped 13.1 million shipments with a 26.1% market share.
Chinese smartphone maker, Vivo dropped to third place with a 19% YoY growth, the company collected a 17.6% of total market share. Vivo shipped 8.8 million units in the third quarter of 2020.
Realme lands on fourth with total smartphone shipments of 8.7 million and received a 23% annual growth. The company secured a 17.4% market share in India.
Oppo shipped 6.1 million smartphone units and got a 12.1% of market share. The company obtained 6% of YoY growth.
“The government, slowly but surely reducing restrictions on movement after a three month lockdown, has created the perfect atmosphere for sustained growth. While almost all vendors have shown positive shipment growth, the true winners are the online channels, who have been buoyed with a huge influx of devices ahead of the festive season. Ongoing sales at Amazon and Flipkart are a clear indication that despite the economic downturn, India’s penchant for a good smartphone, and a good bargain, remains intact.” said Canalys Analyst, Adwait Mardikar.

Samsung launched a new 50W charging adapter (EP-T5020) with dual ports. The product is available in select European countries and we hope the company will soon bring it to more markets. As there’s no phone capable of charging over 45W speed, the 50W adapter is still worth buying.
The New Samsung 50W adapter brings dual ports, allowing users to charge two Galaxy phones at 25W simultaneously. When both ports are used, the adapter will distribute 25W each, making it easier to get two Galaxy devices charged at the same time.
To get 50W speed (USD PD PPS protocol), you need to use the first port, usable to charge Galaxy Book laptops. For additional convenience, the secondary port is capped at 25W charging speed. This means you are not required to charge two devices to get 25W output.
Galaxy S24 Ultra, S24 Plus, S23 Ultra, S23 Plus, and M55 5G are some Samsung devices that support 45W fast charging. Most Galaxy phones and tablets have 25W charging support, which is not much less than Samsung’s 45W brick.
While the availability is limited, the 50W brick can be owned for €69.90. Meanwhile, Samsung also sells 65W triple-port EP-T6530, which you can buy for Galaxy Book laptops. Future Galaxy flagships should bring even more faster charging tech, it’s a long-standing demand.
