'Last year we sold 18 million phones in India, this year we should do 23-24 million, and next year our target is to hit 40 million.'
Mobile device maker Realme has overtaken South Korean giant Samsung to grab the second spot in the branded smartphone market, with 18 per cent volume share in October this year, revealed Counterpoint Research. Its rival Samsung ended October with 16 per cent share. Xiaomi (including its brand POCO) was at 20 per cent; Vivo at 13 per cent. The ascent brings Realme closer to its ambition to reach the No. 1 berth by 2022 when it hopes to sell over 40 million smartphones annually.
Foxconn has said it is aiming to develop 10-12 facilities in India, including factories and data centres, by 2020
