Smartphone Brand Share in Pakistan – Q1 of 2021

Pakistan is an underdeveloped country and with large chunks of the population living in poverty. So if we examine the current dynamics in Pakistan, we see that people are more prone to purchase cheaper and simpler smartphones.  Because as we all know the majority of premium quality products such as apple smartphones are really expensive if we compare them with Android devices. The Android phones are manufactured by a number of companies and their R&D is comparatively low due to which they are much cheaper. Thus, on the basis of these assumptions, we observe that majority of the indigenous people prefer an Android phone in less price than Apple devices as they are expensive. To support our claim, we are going to mention smartphone brand share in the Pakistani Market in Q1 of 2021.
