India’s smartphone market: Shipments rise 3% in Q3 2025; Vivo leads with 20% share, Apple re-enters top five

However, analysts caution that this momentum, fueled by channel push rather than pure consumer recovery, may not extend into the year-end festive period due to urban consumer sentiment and potential inventory build-up.
