Samsung and Apple are the two giants that trusted well with their potential handsets and gadgets that serve all the magnificent features to let you gear for your grab. Samsung-the Korean mobile maker had said that “ it has attained a 50% share in the Indian premium phone market, at a time when Apple battles a slow start to the sale of its new phone 6S devices in India.”

As per Manu Sharma, Samsung India director (Product marketing) “the company has seen a “positive momentum” over the last one year on the back of new launches such as the S6 edge and the Note5 devices.”

He also added “as per numbers provided by market research firm GfK, our market share in the Rs 30,000 and above category is 51% in value terms at the end of the September this year. This was about 36% till about a year ago. Volume share is near identical to the number arrived at in value share.”

Samsung comes out making an edge over Apple in the Indian market

Well, the data certainly reveals that Samsung is powering up over Apple in the Indian Market. With the premier launches of Note 5 and S6 edge, buyers seem to be really relaxed and showed their loyalty. However, the craving for newly launched iPhone 6s is also at par, but the reason could be its high price in India that is making buyers reluctant for this beautiful handset. However, a relatively lukewarm response to the launch of iPhone 6S and 6SPlus devices looks to now favor Samsung, which had cut prices of some variants of its S6 range of phones.

One of the analysts also said “Samsung’s leadership claim should be taken “with a pinch of salt”, especially as there is no way to independently confirm the GfK numbers. There are a number of research firms in the market, and many of them often have different market share figures. So, one cannot be 100% sure about these figures.”

Samsung which had soared in its sale in the month of October is quite peaking up. Apple phones however, created turbulence in the market where it is always one must grab and anticipate many buyers to recollect the amount for this awesome piece.
