Content integrated Superphones – The only gadget you need

Accelerated use of smartphones have made a dent across industries leading to the manufacturer of televisions, laptops and personal desktops to reinvent their strategies to remain relevant. Smartphones have now become a performance centric mobile consumer product that enable users to manage almost all their tasks, without compromising speed and screen size. Digital consumption in India is on a constant upswing, mainly spearheaded by smartphones that are priced alluring to the Indian market. There are noticeable increases in the diverse forms of content being consumed on phones across movies, TV shows, songs, news etc. This also clearly indicates the gradual shift in consumer preference of consuming content on smartphones on the go, rather than on television screens. According to a recent study by Ernst & Young, smartphone penetration in India is expected to exponentially grow to 520 mn by 2020, indicating the strong potential this industry has.
