India’s 5G smartphone shipments to cross 4G shipments in 2023 – Counterpoint
BENGALURU, Dec 29 (Reuters) – India’s 5G smartphone shipments will exceed that of 4G shipments by the end of next year, driven by the mass adoption of the high-speed network and the rise in sale of handsets in the lower-price bands, market research firm Counterpoint said on Thursday.
Although India’s overall smartphone shipments are estimated to see a yearly decline this year due to component supply issues and macroeconomic factors, 5G will continue to push smartphone demand in 2023 as well, Counterpoint added.
5G data speed in India is expected to be about 10 times faster than that of 4G,
