Premium smartphone shipments down 60 % in third quarter

Shipment of smartphones priced above Rs 30,000 fell 59 per cent year-on-year, data from Counterpoint Research show India has come to be known as the fastest growing market for smartphones, with premium  smartphones  usually doing better than other categories, but September quarter was different. Shipment of   smartphones  priced above Rs 30,000 fell 59 per cent year-on-year, data from Counterpoint Research show. Two of the global leaders in  smartphones  -  Samsung  and  Apple  - which command the lion's share in premium handsets sales in India, shipped lower volumes during the July-September quarter. According to analysts, absence of Note 7 in Samsung's portfolio hurt its shipments during the period. Apple, on the other hand, shipped only 1,500 iPhone 7 devices, Faisal Kawoosa, lead, telecom & semitronics, Cyber Media Research (CMR) said.

Tech: LG V20 review: lots of features, less refinement

LG’s V20 is an Android phone I’d recommend to people who insist on having one of the device’s four cornerstone features: a replaceable battery, elaborate manual video camera controls, excellent audio recording capabilities, or a hi-fi headphone listening experience. If you don’t need anything from that list in your next smartphone — and a lot of people don't — you’re better off buying a Google Pixel XL or iPhone 7 Plus. For upwards of $800 depending on where you buy it, the V20 is priced to compete with the very best phones on the market right now. But it just doesn’t. To be clear, it’s fairly good at what LG designed it to excel at. It’s a gadget for Android nerds and checks all the boxes on high-end specs, build quality, display (yes, there’s still a tiny second screen on the front), and performance. It ditches the modularity gimmick that quickly fizzled out with the G5, and the design is a little classier and safer than the rubber-clad V10 from last year. But it’s also a

Tech: Google Pixel XL review: The new Android flagship in the market

G oogle Pixel XL review: This one delivers on all fronts of a premium smartphone, but it is not without flaws. Google  Pixel is the company’s ‘first’ attempt at a smartphone. Unlike the Nexus, there’s no co-branding with LG or  Huawei . Sure the phone’s box says manufactured by  HTC , but it’s like how iPhones are made by  Foxconn  in China. Pixel and Pixel XL are a Google-only effort from top-to-bottom. The company is tying up with distributors in India to get this phone into offline retail stores as well.

The phone highlights the best of Google: the Assistant, an excellent camera, unlimited storage for photos, and performance that’s top notch. So should  Samsung  be worried? Does the iPhone 7 have
