It is common knowledge that India is one of the most promising smartphone markets in the entire world today. The 4G wireless revolution brought about by the introduction of Reliance Jio and the influx of low-cost high-value Chinese smartphones has completely altered the Indian smartphone landscape over the past couple of years.
