As per the earlier Q3 2016 reports, Lenovo still held the third position in the Indian smartphone market with a share of 8.9%. The company was not very far behind Micromax, which had retained its second spot with a 9.8% share. Cut to the present, Lenovo has already dethroned Micromax as expected to climb to the second spot behind Samsung. This news has been confirmed by the latest reports of the Singapore-based analyst firm Canalys.

According to Canalys, the Indian vendors – Micromax, Lava, and Intex – saw a considerable decline in their sales during Q3, which has now led to Lenovo surpassing Micromax.

Another Chinese company that has benefited greatly is Xiaomi, which recorded its best quarter with about a 170% YoY growth in shipments. Xiaomi has now risen to the fourth position in the market, dislodging Reliance Lyf. Xiaomi’s decision to broaden its sales by going brick-and-mortar as well has sure paid off. Micromax is now under immense pressure to up its sales strategy given the rate at which Xiaomi is progressing.

Other Chinese vendors such as Oppo and Vivo are also growing at a rapid pace and eating into the shares of top vendors. The aggressive Chinese players are indeed on a roll with their product launches and brilliant pricing strategies.

The Lenovo P2 will be available in gold, and its expected price is about Rs. 19,000. According to reports, the smartphone will also be available in the UK and other European regions aside from Asia.
