How India has become the world's smartphone making powerhouse

TDT | agencies India is now the United States' biggest supplier of smartphones. New data shows that New Delhi has surpassed Beijing as Washington's top supplier of smartphones. What made this possible? Apple shifting its operations to India in the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic and President Donald Trump's ongoing tariff wars. But what happened and why? How did India overtake China as the US' top supplier of smartphones? Let's take a closer look: What happened? Data from research firm Canalys showed that India's smartphone shipments to the US increased by a whopping 240 per cent in the second quarter of 2025. These phones now comprise around 44 per cent of all smartphones sent to the US. Last year, that figure was at just 13 per cent, Meanwhile, China's share of smartphones sent to the US declined to 25 per cent. This is a major shift from the second quarter of 2024, when China comprised 61 per cent of smartphones sent to the US. Canalys analyst Sanyam Chaurasia said, 'India became the leading manufacturing hub for US-sold smartphones for the very first time in Q2 2025, largely driven by Apple's accelerated supply chain shift to India amid an uncertain trade landscape.' iPhone exports from the US to India hit a high in March – just before Trump announced the reciprocal tariffs on US trading partners. Trump has imposed a 50 per cent tariff on India, a 30 per cent tariff on China while the two countries negotiated trade deal and a 20 per cent tariff on Vietnam. India has exported over 24 million iPhones across the world in 2025 – 78 per cent of which have gone to the United States. India sent 21.3 million smartphones to the US between January and May 2025 – more than what it sent last year. Smartphone exports from India to the US have skyrocketed 182 per cent to $9.35 billion in 2025. Tamil Nadu, which houses Apple suppliers such as Foxconn, Pegatron, and Tata Electronics, is the hub of iPhone production in India. Apple is making its bas models such as the iPhone 16 and iPhone 15 in India. However, it is important to note that though the tech giant has begun assembling some iPhone Pro models in India, it remains dependent on China for its iPhone Pro models to the United States. Samsung and Motorola have also increased sending handsets from India. However, they are doing so on a fast smaller scale than Apple. Chaurasia said Motorola, like Apple, had its core manufacturing base in China, while Samsung kept its in Vietnam. Incidentally Vietnam has also grown its share of the US market to 30 per cent. Union minister Ashwini Vaishnaw confirmed the development on Sunday. Vaihnav added that electronics manufacturing in India is now estimated at Rs 12 lakh crore. Vaishnav, inaugurating metro projects in Bengaluru, said India's electronic production has increased six-fold over the past 11 years. He said electronic exports have surged eight-fold to Rs 3 lakh crore, which reinforced India's position as the world's second-largest mobile phone manufacturer. 'Our electronic production has grown six times in the last 11 years. Today, electronics manufacturing has touched Rs 12 lakh crore. Electronic exports have increased by eight times… Today, it has grown to Rs 3 lakh crore. India has become the second-largest manufacturer of mobile phones in the world,' Vaishnaw said. Government data shows that India had just two mobile manufacturing units in 2014 – that number is over 300 today. A decade ago, a mere 26 per cent of mobile phones sold in India were made locally. Today, 99.2 per cent of phones sold in India are made locally. The value of mobile phone manufacturing industry rose from Rs 18,900 crore in FY14 to Rs 4,22,000 crore in FY24. The Union Minster Jitin Prasada earlier told the Lok Sabha earlier that the production linked incentive (PLI) scheme meant for mobile phone manufacturing attracted a total investment of Rs 12,390 crore. 'The PLI Scheme for LSEM has already attracted a cumulative investment of INR 12,390 crore, led to a cumulative production of Rs 8,44,752 crore with exports of Rs 4,65,809 crore and generated additional employment of 1,30,330 (direct jobs) till Jun'25,' the minister said. He said India's mobile import demand decreased by 0.02 per cent in 2024-25 from 75 per cent in 2014-15. 'PLI Scheme for Large Scale Electronics Manufacturing has significantly impacted the mobile manufacturing sector in India particularly in transforming India from a net importer to a net exporter of mobile phones. Bharat is now the second largest mobile manufacturing country in the world,' the minister said. What do experts say? That US smartphone makers are clearly in the mood to diversify. Experts say that issues over tariffs and trade rules have resulted in vendors front-loading inventory – which means buying far more inventory than usual and changing their sourcing plans. India's increasing role as a manufacturing base for global smartphone brands shows it is becoming a bigger part of the phonemakers' plans for both low-cost and high-end models. However, it must be noted that the smartphone market in US increased just 1 per cent in the second quarter of 2025. In fact, iPhone shipments decreased 11 per cent from the previous year. However, Samsung's shipments increased by a massive 38 per cent. Motorola also saw a two per cent bump. The other popular models were Google and TCL.

The Breakthroughs Powering Samsung's Thinnest, Most Refined Foldables

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – Aug 05, 2025 – Since unveiling the world's first foldable smartphone in 2019, Samsung has pursued one goal: to give users big-screen power in a pocket-friendly device. Years and thousands of design and engineering advancements later, that promise comes to life. The Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 are Samsung's thinnest, lightest and most advanced foldables to date. Pocket-friendly Proportions Galaxy Z Flip7 slides into any pocket at just 6.5 mm thin when open and 13.7 mm when closed. An ultra-high-density circuit board makes sure there is no wasted space internally and Samsung enhanced the battery's energy density, boosting its capacity by 300 mAh while reducing its thickness. Meanwhile, Galaxy Z Fold7 is nearly half the thickness of the original Fold, measuring just 8.9 mm folded and 4.2 mm unfolded. This 48% reduction combined with a wider, brighter screen and a new 21:9 bar-phone aspect ratio, delivers a foldable device that is both portable and intuitive to use. Stronger, Slimmer Hinges Galaxy Z Fold7 introduces a third-generation Armor FlexHinge that is 27% thinner and 43% lighter than its predecessor. Key upgrades include: • Thinner critical rotating and supporting elements, resulting in a hinge that is smaller in size while maintaining strength.• New alloy components that increase yield strength by over 14% allow the hinge to better withstand repeated folding.• Separate supporting and rotating functions add structural stability and greater design flexibility. • A wingplate that opens wider delivers a flatter and cleaner screen for a more premium viewing experience. Galaxy Z Flip7 features Samsung's thinnest FlexHinge yet. It's 29% slimmer than the hinge on Galaxy Z Flip6 yet still supports full FlexMode and day-to-day toughness. Thinner, Stronger Displays The display is a cornerstone of Galaxy Z Fold7's hardware innovations, with a focus on greater durability while ensuring the device is lighter and thinner: • Reduced display thickness by more than 39% by completely reoptimizing the panel structure and introducing advanced materials.• Titanium-based lattice replaces carbon fiber for 64% improved durability and better resistance.• Achieved a slimmer profile by redesigning the panel layer to better absorb external stress and ensure consistent rigidity. • Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) is 50% thicker than the UTG on Galaxy Z Fold6 for a smoother, less-visible crease and improved performance. With Galaxy Z Flip7, Samsung maintains the Z Flip series' iconic design but packs more power in a smaller package: • A new edge-to-edge Infinity Cover Display removes the black notch to provide more content and cleaner visuals.• The HID camera is precisely corner-mounted, keeping visuals clean and symmetrical. • The display bezel shrinks from 3.94 mm to 1.25 mm, a 68% reduction that makes Galaxy Z Flip7 the world's thinnest display bezel on a foldable. Pro Cameras, Optimized for Potability Galaxy Z Fold7 delivers an ultra-level camera experience, providing flagship technology in a sleek and light design. • First 200 MP wide-angle camera in a foldable that's made possible by a new thin Actuator and a complete structural redesign. • The camera module shrunk by 18% and ran nearly 30,000 simulations, culminating in the thinnest 200 MP camera on a foldable device that doesn't sacrifice image quality. On Galaxy Z Flip7, the camera module has been reengineered from the ground up, delivering flagship image quality in a slimmer housing. To achieve a thinner design while maintaining high performance, Samsung streamlined the internal structure of the entire module, incorporating a smaller actuator to ensure high-performance autofocus with less bulk. Tougher Materials, Lighter Feel Samsung reinforced Galaxy Z Fold7's thin profile with stronger, more advanced materials. The cover screen now features Corning® Gorilla® Glass Ceramic 2 , making it 30% stronger in material strength than the previous generation. Additionally, the frame and hinge cover have been upgraded to Advanced Armor Aluminum , a material that is 10% tougher than the Armor Aluminum previous used in Galaxy Z Fold6. The Bottom Line Every hinge, display layer and camera component inside Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 was redesigned for one purpose: give consumers a refined foldable that feels as effortless as any premium smartphone. Welcome to the new era of pocket-ready power.
