                                                   Made in India Mobile phones


Amid rising anti-China sentiments, a lot of people have been talking about boycotting Chinese smartphones. But then again, several brands are marketing their phone as “Made in India.” In this article, we’ll talk about Chinese vs. non-Chinese phones, what exactly does made in India means, and what phones are manufactured locally in India.

Before we start, it’s important to know what Chinese and non-Chinese companies are currently running their smartphone business in India.

Chinese Smartphone Companies:

  • Xiaomi
  • Huawei, Honor
  • Vivo, iQOO
  • OnePlus
  • Oppo
  • Realme
  • Motorola, Lenovo
  • Tecno, iTel, and Infinix

 

 Non-Chinese Smartphone Companies:

  • Apple, Google (USA)
  • Samsung, LG (South Korea)
  • Asus, HTC (Taiwan)
  • Sony (Japan)
  • Nokia (Finland)
Indian Smartphone Companies:

  • Karbonn
  • Lyf

Many companies, be it Chinese or non-Chinese, assemble phones in India. Below are popular smartphone brands and a list of phones that are currently being made in India.
Smartphones made in India-
  • iPhone XR
  • iPhone 7
  • Discontinued iPhone 6s and SE (2016)

Not made in India-

  • iPhone 8, 8 Plus
  • iPhone X, XS, XS Max
  • iPhone 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max

2. Samsung (Non-Chinese)

As of 2020, Samsung is not making any phones in China. However, it still sources some of its components and manufacturing duties to Chinese ODM suppliers.

That said, the company runs its world’s biggest mobile factory at Noida, Uttar Pradesh, in India, which has a production capacity of 120 million units a year.

Popular smartphones, including A-series and M-series, are made at the Noida factory. The Galaxy S10 and Note 10, too, are made in India while the Galaxy S20-series and foldable lineup are imported from Vietnam and South Korea.

If you’re looking forward to buying non-Chinese smartphones, Samsung would be an ideal choice with relatively lesser Chinese aid. The South Korean giant is further setting up India’s first smartphone display manufacturing unit on the outskirts of Delhi. It is expected to go functional by 2021.

Smartphones made in India:

  • Samsung Galaxy M-series (M11, M01, M40, M30s, etc.)
  • Samsung Galaxy A-series (A30s, A71, A31, A10s, etc.)
  • Galaxy Note 10-series
  • Galaxy S10-series

Not made in India:

  • Galaxy S20-series
  • Samsung Galaxy Fold
  • Galaxy Z Flip

3. Xiaomi (Chinese)

Xiaomi makes 99% of its smartphones in India. According to CEO Manu Kumar Jain, 65% of the value of smartphones is locally sourced. Plus, components like printed circuit boards are either locally sourced or made in India.

Xiaomi currently has seven smartphone manufacturing plants in partnership with Foxconn, Flex, and HiPad. Four of them are in Andhra Pradesh, two at Tamil Nadu, and one is in Noida.

All mid-range phones including Redmi K20 and K20 Pro are assembled in India. Although, the flagship Mi 10 5G is wholly imported from China since it’s too complex to be built in India.

Smartphones made in India:

  • Redmi-series (Redmi 7, 7A, Redmi 8, 8A Dual, etc.)
  • Redmi Note-series (Redmi Note 9 Pro, Redmi Note 8 Pro, Redmi Note 8, etc.)
  • Android One-series (Mi A1, Mi A2, Mi A3)
  • Redmi K20, K20 Pro

Not made in India:

  • Xiaomi Mi 10 5G

4. Poco (Chinese)

After separation from Xiaomi, Poco has always positioned itself as a made for India brand. The company has been assembling phones in India under the government’s “Make in India” initiative. The brand’s latest phone, Poco X2, is made here in India. Even the older Poco F1 was assembled locally in the country.

The ‘Make in India’ initiative has indeed pushed the smartphone industry in the country by a significant margin. As a result, India now stands as the second-largest mobile manufacturing hub globally.

The government is further trying to pave the way for boosting local manufacturing through its PLI scheme. The production-linked incentive scheme is set to help local companies regain their market while also benefitting big players like Samsung and Apple to bump their production capacity.

As of now, the Cupertino-giant Apple is planning to shift 20% of production capacity from China to India. In the future, we may also see companies manufacturing components locally in the country.

This will not only boost manufacturing and job creation but also help India become an export-led manufacturing hub globally. But then again, it’s not an overnight thing. It’ll take a lot of time, huge investments, and focus on development.

Talking about the current scenario, almost 72% of the smartphone market share is dominated by Chinese companies such as Xiaomi, Realme, Oppo, Vivo, OnePlus, etc. The rest accounts for non-Chinese brands, including Samsung, Apple, Google, and Asus.
