So how is the smartphone industry doing so far in 2019? Well, Canalys, an independent data analyst company from Singapore with branches worldwide, has released a new Smartphone Market Pulse report on the Indian smartphone shipments and annual growth, including smartphone brand players such as Xiaomi, Samsung, Vivo, OPPO and Realme.

According to Canalys, the chart shows Vivo having the best performance among the brands in India during Q1 2019 due to shipping twice as many units since Q1 2018 (4.5 mil vs 2.1 mil). Vivo is in third place, though, but compare with Xiaomi and Samsung who are sitting at first and second place respectively, both companies have a slow rate.

Meanwhile, Realme also made a good first impression in the Indian market as a new player in Q2 last year. They managed to ship 1.3 million units in Q1 2019 but Canalys suggests that the brand should improve in its offline channel by investing in advertisements, banners and brand ambassadors. For example, Rushabh Doshi, Research Director at Canalys, quoted that Vivo's investment in the Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket and signing Bollywood actor Aamir Khan as its brand ambassador are paying off.
