India smartphone shipments grow by 8% on-year in Q2; Xiaomi slips to fifth spot: Counterpoint
NEW DELHI: The India smartphone market grew by 8% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2025 (Q2 2025), marking a solid rebound from a muted first quarter, driven by new launches and strong summer season sales, according to the latest Counterpoint Research report released on Wednesday. The market grew by 18% year-on-year in terms of value in the April-June quarter, according to the research agency. It said that the brands offered steeper discounts, convenient EMIs, and bundled offers, particularly in the mid and premium segments. 'India's smartphone market recovery in Q2 2025 was further supported by an improved macroeconomic environment that boosted consumer confidence and spending. Retail inflation dropped to a six-year low, easing pressure on household budgets, while the central bank's repo rate cuts made financing more accessible,' said Senior Research Analyst Prachir Singh. Singh said that tax relief measures introduced earlier in the year increased disposable incomes and savings, creating a favorable setup for discretionary purchases. First-ranked Vivo's volume market share increased from 17% in Q2 2024 to 20% in Q2 2025, while second-ranked Samsung 's share declined from 17% to 16% during this period, and Oppo displaced Xiaomi to take the third spot with a 13% share, an increase from 11% in the corresponding quarter a year ago, according to the research firm. Realme, in fourth position, saw its share erode from 13% in Q2 2024 to 10% in Q2 2025, while Xiaomi slipped to fifth spot with an 8% share in Q2 2025, the research firm's data showed. Between Q2 2024 and Q2 2025, OnePlus' volume share declined from 4% to just 2%, whereas Vivo sub-brand iQOO's share grew from 2% to 4%, and Poco's share fell from 6% to 5%, as per the separate data listed out for these three brands. Nothing's Q2 2025 shipments jumped 146% year-on-year, while Motorola's shipments grew 86% year-on-year, and homegrown handset maker Lava was the fastest-growing brand in the sub-₹10,000 segment with a 156% year-on-year growth. 'During Q2 2025, both OEMs and channels hosted several sales events, including parallel offline events, which helped some of the OEMs clear existing inventory and push for new launches. Vivo (excluding iQOO) grew 23% year-on-year, led by strong demand in the ₹10,000-₹15,000 segment, where both the Y and T series performed well,' said Research Analyst Shubham Singh. 'Samsung followed as the second-largest brand, supported by aggressive summer promotions on its A and S series and increased traction for its N-1 flagship upgrades, which helped sustain momentum in the mid to premium segments,' Shubham said. According to him, Oppo (excluding OnePlus) secured the third position in Q2 2025, driven by the strong performance of its refreshed A5 and K series. 'The brand's ongoing portfolio revamp, combined with retailer engagement and improved margins, strengthened its offline traction and supported a steady market recovery,' Shubham said. 'Samsung, Apple lead market by value' Samsung, Apple, and Vivo led the market (by value) in Q2 2025. 'The improving sentiment contributed to the ultra-premium (>₹45,000) segment's strong 37% year-on-year growth, making it the fastest-growing price tier. The ultra-premium segment helped the Indian smartphone market record its best-ever Q2 in value terms and highest-ever ASP,' said Prachir. Apple and Samsung capitalised on this trend through aggressive affordability initiatives such as trade-in programs, no-cost EMIs, and limited-period summer discounts, making flagship devices more accessible to aspirational buyers, he added. MediaTek led India's smartphone chipset market with a 47% share, followed by Qualcomm with a 31% share. Qualcomm's smartphone shipments grew 28% YoY during the quarter.

Oppo Find X9 Pro specs leak, it will have a huge battery
The Oppo Find X9 Pro is now rumored to sport a gigantic battery, with support for 50W wireless charging. The capacity itself may not have been finalized yet, but it will be at least 7,000 mAh, and apparently could go as high as 7,500 mAh. The phone will have a 6.78-inch LTPO OLED flat screen with narrow bezels on all sides. On the rear, the camera island will be in the top left corner. This will resemble the island in the Reno14 series, but will look more high-end. Speaking of cameras, the handset will sport a 200 MP periscope telephoto, using Samsung's 1/1.56-inch type ISOCELL HP5 sensor. Oppo Find X8 Pro The Find X9 Pro also gets an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, as well as IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance. It will be powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 9500 SoC, which is likely to be unveiled in September. Source (in Chinese) | Via

Oppo tipped to offer insane 7,500mAh battery in upcoming flagship phone
Oppo will likely launch its flagship Find X9 Pro later this year, and if rumors are to be believed, this phone will feature a giant battery and the as-yet unannounced MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset. The Find X9 Pro could also feature a 200MP periscope camera and 50W wireless charging, according to that same tipster. The potential specs come from regular Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station who posted on Weibo about the Find X9 Pro. Based on a machine translation of the DCS post, these are some impressive specs, highlighted by the battery. The X9 Pro is set to feature a 6.78-inch display running a MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chip and a 7,500 mAh battery. Speciality phones can have larger batteries — at MWC 2024, my Tom's Guide colleagues saw an Energizer-branded phone with a 28,000 mAh power pack — but 7,500 mAh would be out of the ordinary for a more conventional flagship device. As an example, the current Oppo Find X8 Pro features a 5,910 mAh battery. While we don't include that device in our best phone battery life list, it was still impressive in our informal testing. DCS does not mention if the battery is a silicon carbon battery, which creates more battery cell capacity in the same amount of space as the more common lithium ion. Both Apple and Samsung are reportedly exploring using silicon carbon in their future phones. Oppo already uses silicon carbon batteries in its phones including last year's flagship. It means that despite the larger size, the Find X9 Pro will likely be smaller or the same size as its predecessor. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The largest phone battery I've seen is the gimmicky Oukitel WP100 Titan that doubles as a lamp and projector with a 33,000mAh battery. However, that phone also weighs just under 2 pounds. By comparison, the Find X8 Pro weighs 7.6 ounces. Typically, MediaTek announces its Dimensity chips in the fall, around September, and we expect a similar schedule for the Dimensity 9500. That should also be on TSMC's third-generation 3nm process, similar to the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2. Oppo has largely been one of the first phone manufacturers to feature the top-end Dimensity chips in its flagship phones. Last year's excellent Find X8 Pro launched in the fall with the Dimensity 9400. Additionally, DCS claimed that the Find X9 Pro will feature a 200MP periscope camera plus a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, IP68/69 resistance and 50W charging. The camera is massive upgrade over the 50MP sensor in last year's model and could put the Find X9 Pro more on par with Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra and the iPhone 16 Pro Max — not to mention the iPhone 17 Pro Max coming in September. The fingerprint sensor was introduced in the Find X8 Ultra last year, and the OnePlus 13, launched in early 2025. Both those phones also got IP68 and IP69 resistance as well. Apple and Samsung are rumored to feature battery specs and charging speeds in upcoming devices that look a lot like their current models. So it'll be interesting to see if Oppo spurs either company to make changes down the road.
