vivo still leads the Indian smartphone market in the first half of 2025
Its shipments have grown 31% over Q2 2024. It's followed by Samsung with 6.2 million shipments and a 16% market share, representing a 2% year-over-year (YoY) growth. In third is Oppo with 5 million shipments, a 13% market share, and 24% growth.
Interestingly, the brands in fourth and fifth positions have both seen negative annual growth.
Xiaomi managed 5 million shipments in Q2 this year with a 13% market share, and it's down 25% YoY, while fifth-place Realme shipped 3.6 million units for a 9% market share, down 17% from the year-ago quarter.
The market overall grew 7% for a total of 39 million units shipped, up from 36.4 million in Q2 2024. The Indian smartphone market hasn't seen more shipments than in this Q2 since Q3 of last year, which is also the last time we saw any year-on-year growth.
Canalys Principal Analyst Sanyam Chaurasia says vivo's V50 series "gained traction in Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities via large-format retail and wedding-led campaigns, while the Y-series sustained momentum in smaller cities and semi-urban markets through deep distribution and promoter push". Meanwhile, "the T-series also scaled steadily online with a broadened portfolio".
Oppo's strong quarter was "buoyed by strong offline momentum from the A5 series and growing online traction via the K13". If you're wondering where Apple is - it was sixth, with the iPhone 16 family accounting for more than 55% of its shipments. Interestingly, the iPhone 16e has lost momentum post-launch, "as consumers questioned the value of its single-camera design and largely unrealized Apple Intelligence features". Canalys projects a small decline in shipments for the full year, "as structural demand challenges persist".

Galaxy Watch 8 users are frustrated by a surprisingly basic flaw
The Galaxy Watch 8 was just released with very impressive looks and specs. Unfortunately, though, it seems it's not perfect as many would wish it to be, and Samsung may have overlooked a tiny (but basic) element of the wearable's design. Many people are complaining about a relatively small but annoying thing that it seems Samsung didn't take into account when designing the Watch 8. Samsung fans have taken to Reddit to express their frustration. It seems that the smartwatch doesn't sit right on its own charging pad. More specifically, the 44mm Galaxy Watch 8 doesn't lie flat on Samsung's Wireless Charger Duo, and many users are not on board with that situation. The Watch 8 doesn't lie flat on the charger. | Image Credit - Luxkeiwoker on Reddit The Redditor who opened the post is even looking for a refund over what they state was a "stupid" design flaw. There are also plenty of other Galaxy Watch 8 buyers joining in the thread with similar concerns. Some people are concerned about slower charging speeds and even increased heat, caused by the smartwatch not sitting right on the charger. One person even observed that PowerShare from Galaxy phones doesn't work reliably with this timepiece either. People have found creative ways to get over the issue. | Image Credit - gabby131 on Reddit Unfortunately, it seems the strap design of the Galaxy Watch 8 wasn't made with this specific wireless charging pad in mind. Or any other charging pad where the timepiece is expected to sit relatively flat. In fact, the default rubber band curves down quite sharply, which prevents the device from resting flat on the pad. Unfortunately, this makes charging it more difficult. For a premium smartwatch like the Galaxy Watch 8 , that's a pretty big design flaw, in my opinion, and I understand why so many people are calling Samsung out about it. I'd expect the company to pay attention to the most basic aspect of any device - charging - and to ensure it would sit right, at least on the chargers the company itself is offering.

Motorola is selling the affordable Razr (2025) foldable at an irresistible price in all colors
Are you having trouble justifying a Galaxy Z Flip 7 or Z Flip 7 FE purchase, especially with the two new Samsung clamshells no longer available at their substantial pre-order discounts? Then why not go for an Android flip phone from Motorola instead? You could get the state-of-the-art Razr Ultra (2025) with 1TB storage at a lower-than-ever (but still pretty high) price, for instance, or settle for a humbler Razr (2025) model and spend as little as $599.99 right now. Yes, Motorola's non-Plus and non-Ultra 2025 foldable is marked down by 100 bucks from an already exceptionally reasonable $699.99 list price at the time of this writing, and if you hurry, you can even choose from four different colorways at the exact same discount. $100 off (14%) 5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 8GB RAM, 6.9-Inch Foldable LTPO AMOLED Display with 2640 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, 3.6-Inch P-OLED Cover Screen with 1066 x 1056 Pixel Resolution and 90Hz Refresh Rate Support, IP48 Water and Dust Resistance, 50 + 13MP Dual Rear-Facing Camera System, 32MP Front-Facing Camera, 4,500mAh Battery, 30W Wired and 15W Wireless Charging Capabilities, Four Color Options Buy at Motorola In theory, the unprecedented Motorola Razr (2025) sale should run until the end of the week, although depending on your demand, one or several of those eye-catching Pantone Gibraltar Sea, Pantone Parfait Pink, Pantone Spring Bud, and Pantone Lightest Sky hues could well go out of stock earlier... or even a lot earlier. Compared to the $899.99 Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, Motorola's $599.99 "vanilla" Razr (2025) incredibly offers more screen real estate (both as far as the primary and secondary displays are concerned), as well as more battery juice and even faster charging. Are any compromises made to achieve that absolutely unbeatable price point? Obviously, and our comprehensive Motorola Razr (2025) review puts the focus on just a few of them, including unremarkable overall system performance, underwhelming camera quality, and sluggish storage speed. But did I mention that you get a massive 6.9-inch foldable screen and a more than respectable 3.6-inch cover display for the price of a non-foldable Android mid-ranger? Now how could you possibly turn down such a phenomenal money-saving opportunity on such an impressively feature-packed product?
