As per the leading company’s analysis, the overall industry shipped 150 million units last year; however, Samsung's contribution was 18 per cent, he informed.
We have robust growth in the smartphone segment and expect to continue the same growth this year. He said that we have 2,000 exclusive stores across the country and 24 stores alone in Hyderabad.
