As every fourth smartphone sold in India is from Xiaomi, it is not surprising that some of the best selling mobile phone brands are from the Chinese company. According to a latest market report, Xiaomi's sales grew 7% last quarter on a year-on-year basis, driven by demand coming through e-commerce websites ahead of the Diwali festive season.

The new-launched OnePlus 7T (7T 8GB/128GB) is priced at ₹37,999 while the (8GB/256GB) version is selling at ₹39,999. The smartphone maker was offering OnePlus 7 at discount before the festive season.

iPhone: Riding high on demand for its newly-launched iPhone 11 and a price cut of iPhone XR model, Apple is now back as one of top 10 smartphone brands in India.
