India's best-selling smartphones of 2017: Xiaomi dominates top 5 list with Redmi Note 4 leading pack

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 outsold all other smartphones in India last year.

India's smartphone market witnessed yet another Chinese upsurge in 2017 with brands from the country capturing 54 percent market share, up from 34 percent in 2016. The strong performance by Chinese companies was led by Xiaomi, which dethroned Samsung to become India's leading smartphone vendor in the fourth quarter of 2017.

But that was not Xiaomi's only achievement last year. The company also dominated the top five best-selling smartphone list, with its Redmi Note 4 leading the pack, followed by the Xiaomi Redmi 4 and Samsung Galaxy J2. The OPPO A37 and Xiaomi Redmi 4A rounded out the top five, according to the latest data released by Counterpoint Research.
