4G LTE penetration in India is growing at a fast pace. Now that Airtel has launched 4G in almost 300 cities, other mobile operators are also looking to roll out 4G in India. Device manufacturers are also coming out with 4G devices. This year will be the year when India might see 4G LTE roll out across multiple locations. Taking this into consideration, lot of mobile OEMs are not focusing on 4G LTE supported handsets as India supports TD LTE.
In the last couple of months, we have seen new 4G supported phones coming to India in the mid range and also the budget category. The Redmi 2 initially set the benchmark in the sub 7k price point and now we have other great devices in the budget category with 4G support.
