In the "next few days" the game will arrive on a wider variety of Android phones, from Google's Pixel phones to LG's line of G phones (and more).Epic Games, the maker of "Fortnite," says players can sign up for access to "Fortnite" on Android <a href="https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/android">through this website</a>.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">Epic Games</div></div></div>Unlike most Android games, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/fortnite-android-google-play-store-2018-8">"Fortnite" is skipping Google's Play Store</a>.Instead, you'll download the game directly through Epic's website - updates will be served to the game directly from Epic, thus enabling faster fixes. As a major bonus to Epic Games, all the money made through "Fortnite" on Android goes directly to Epic without having to pay the 30% cut Google takes from Google Play Store games. Though we've yet to play "Fortnite" on Android, it should operate very similarly to how the game already operates on iPhone.As seen above on an iPhone X, controls are represented as virtual buttons on-screen. It's otherwise the same insane game you can play on PC, Mac, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One: A 100-player fight to the death in an environment that's getting smaller over time.Here's the full list of supported Android devices for "Fortnite":<ul><li>Google: Pixel / Pixel XL, Pixel 2 / Pixel 2 XL</li><li>Asus: ROG Phone, Zenfone 4 Pro, 5Z, V</li><li>Essential: PH-1</li><li>Huawei: Honor 10, Honor Play, Mate 10 / Pro, Mate RS, Nova 3, P20 / Pro, V10</li><li>LG: G5, G6, G7 ThinQ, V20, V30 / V30+</li><li>Nokia: 8</li><li>OnePlus: 5 / 5T, 6</li><li>Razer: Phone</li><li>Xiaomi: Blackshark, Mi 5 / 5S / 5S Plus, 6 / 6 Plus, Mi 8 / 8 Explorer / 8SE, Mi Mix, Mi Mix 2, Mi Mix 2S, Mi Note 2</li><li>ZTE: Axon 7 / 7s, Axon M, Nubia / Z17 / Z17s, Nubia Z11</li></ul> <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/we-controlled-a-light-display-with-our-brain-activity-science-2018-7">We used a headset that transforms your brain activity into a light display - here's how it works</a></h3> <div> </div> </div>

Korean smartphone maker Samsung is the only non-Chinese company among the top smartphone makers. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="76402297" title="‘Serious clashes’ between India and China⁠ in Galwan Valley — India says 'Chinese troops had planned this escalation'" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> Top Chinese smartphone makers in India Xiaomi – 30% market share Xiaomi captured 30% of the Indian smartphone market in Q1 2020, achieving a 6% year-on-year growth. The 30% market share is highest ever for the company since Q1 2018. Xiaomi has been able to dominate the budget and mid-range smartphone segment with its Redmi line-up as it prices the devices very competitively. Most of the company’s devices are priced below ₹20,000. The company’s Redmi K20 series which is priced slightly higher was also successful, allowing the company to launch premium devices. The company recently re-entered the premium segment with the launch of the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/mobile/news/mi-10-is-xiaomis-first-high-end-phone-to-launch-in-india-after-2-years/articleshow/75621253.cms">Mi 10</a>.

The company’s sales in Q1 2020 were dominated by its Y series. Vivo recently launched the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/mobile/news/vivo-v19-packs-in-six-cameras-and-a-big-battery-for-27990/articleshow/75691179.cms">V19</a>, a camera-centric device which features a quad camera setup at the back. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="76207462" title="Inside India’s ₹50,000 crore scheme to woo electronics manufacturing including smartphones" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> Realme – 14% market share Realme was launched as a sub-brand of Oppo and later became an independent brand. It has now overtaken Oppo in the Indian smartphone segment and recorded a 119% year-on-year growth. Realme was launched to take on the budget segment and competes with Xiaomi’s Redmi line-up. The company’s sales in the first quarter were driven by the Realme 5i and Realme C3. Realme recently launched the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/mobile/news/realme-narzo-10-series-brings-gaming-to-the-budget-segment/articleshow/75671694.cms">Narzo 10 and Narzo 10A</a> devices as part of the company’s new Narzo series.

Oppo – 12% market share Oppo, another smartphone under the BBK Electronics umbrella reported an increase of 83% in shipments and captured 12% of the Indian smartphone market. The company’s sales in the Q1 2020 were driven by the A5 2020 and A5s smartphones in the online segment and A31 and A9 2020 smartphones in the offline segment. Oppo was scheduled to launch the Find X2 and Find X2 Pro smartphones on June 17 in a live event. However, the company opted for a 20-minute pre-recorded video due to the ongoing border clashes. OnePlus – 33% of the premium segment While OnePlus is not among the top smartphones in terms of overall market share, it dominates the premium smartphone segment. The premium segment includes smartphones priced above ₹30,000.

These are the top chinese mobile companies in India

In this day and age, people have started to expect perfection in their smartphones, no matter the amount of money that they are spending. This is why the handset makers are making sure that they leave no scope to impress their existing audience and pull even more people to their new launches. 
 
Talking of the Chinese mobile maker Xiaomi, it comes with two distinct lines of smartphones, one being the cheaper Redmi and the other being the flagship Mi. Xiaomi’s latest offering to the Indian market is the flagship Mi 5, which offers the specification of Samsung’s Galaxy S7 and Apple’s iPhone 6S, but at a half price. 
 
The phone comes with a great screen, beautiful design, spectacular performance, super-fast fingerprint scanner, excellent camera with 4-axis optical image stabilisation and thankfully, a large battery. 
 
Talking of the 5.15-inch screen, it has a resolution of 1080p, lesser than the top-class 2k, but a pixel density of 428ppi does the balance. The screen also offers high contrast, accurate colour, superb viewing angles and high brightness levels, thanks to extra backlight LEDs in the display. This is in fact why the unique screen size of 5.15 inches was required, to accommodate the extra brightness. 
 
Coming to the back, it offers a curved glass meeting a curved frame, so much so that even the side buttons follow this slight angle. This makes the device comfortable to hold and pick up off a table. There is Gorilla Glass 4 on both front and back, which gives it a somewhat slippery feel. 
Sporting a USB type C port, two machine drilled speaker grilles with one being a speaker and the other one hiding a microphone inside, a 3.5mm headphone jack on the top and an IR emitter, the device is very light, weighing just 129 grams. 
 
Coming to the performance, it is the first device in India with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 and will most likely remain the most affordable phone with this SoC for a good time. It is paired with fast DDR4 RAM and UFS 2.0 storage, making it compatible with almost every app. 
The camera is in a different league altogether, offering time lapse, slow motion, 4K recording, tilt shift, beautify and a full manual mode with exposure time of up to 32 seconds. One would be amazed with the 4-axis OIS, fast start up, zero shutter lag, fast focusing and ultra-fast shot-to-shot times. 
 
Even though the overall quality lacks something when compared to iPhone 6S Plus and Galaxy S7, the end results are close and the fact that the devices being compared cost twice as much, this isn’t a bad bargain. 
 
For the first time, Xiaomi has come up with a front fingerprint scanner and a good, fast one at that. 
 
Globally, the Mi 5 comes with Qualcomm's Quick Charge 3.0 standard, going from 0 to 80% charge in just about 30 minutes. However, in India, it can only give a Quick Charge 2.0 charger because of the Indian regulations. It’s a different point that a 3.0 charger can be easily bought from the market. Some other extra features include automatic call recording, one handed mode, screen off gestures, audio effects, Mi Mover, child mode, do not disturb, screen colour/contrast adjustment and a reading mode that comes with reduced glare and blue light. 
 
Overall, the Mi 5 manages to bring something new and desirable for its users, while giving a tough fight to its competitors. The flash sales are on as of now, and as of now, only the white 3GB/32GB version has been launched. 
 
This is not only how a flagship mobile should perform, but at just Rs 24999, Xiaomi has also put ahead a good example of how efficiently products should be priced in an intensely competitive market.
