About seven years ago, we had the likes of Micromax, Intex, and Karbonn challenging the consumer electronics juggernaut, Samsung in the mobile phone space. However, today, things have changed drastically. Chinese smartphone brands like Xiaomi, Realme, OPPO, Vivo, and OnePlus have undoubtedly taken over the smartphone market by storm.
